Autoencoder-based multivariate time series anomaly detection and clustering for diagnosis of mechatronic systems
… of fault, failure or malfunction (anomaly) of a mechatronic system using raw sensory data is analyzed. The Autoencoder approach follows the one-class classification paradigm and is trained unsupervised by reconstructing its own input using fault-free data only. For quantification of the faults or …
