Development of a Software Reliability Prediction Method for Onboard European Train Control System

Longrais, Guillaume Pierre January 2021 (has links)
Software prediction is a complex area as there are no accurate models to represent reliability throughout the use of software, unlike hardware reliability. In the context of the software reliability of on-board train systems, ensuring good software reliability over time is all the more critical given the current density of rail traffic and the risk of accidents resulting from a software malfunction. This thesis proposes to use soft computing methods and historical failure data to predict the software reliability of on-board train systems. For this purpose, four machine learning models (Multi-Layer Perceptron, Imperialist Competitive Algorithm Multi-Layer Perceptron, Long Short-Term Memory Network and Convolutional Neural Network) are compared to determine which has the best prediction performance. We also study the impact of having one or more features represented in the dataset used to train the models. The performance of the different models is evaluated using the Mean Absolute Error, Mean Squared Error, Root Mean Squared Error and the R Squared. The report shows that the Long Short-Term Memory Network is the best performing model on the data used for this project. It also shows that datasets with a single feature achieve better prediction. However, the small amount of data available to conduct the experiments in this project may have impacted the results obtained, which makes further investigations necessary. / Att förutsäga programvara är ett komplext område eftersom det inte finns några exakta modeller för att representera tillförlitligheten under hela programvaruanvändningen, till skillnad från hårdvarutillförlitlighet. När det gäller programvarans tillförlitlighet i fordonsbaserade tågsystem är det ännu viktigare att säkerställa en god tillförlitlighet över tiden med tanke på den nuvarande tätheten i järnvägstrafiken och risken för olyckor till följd av ett programvarufel. I den här avhandlingen föreslås att man använder mjuka beräkningsmetoder och historiska data om fel för att förutsäga programvarans tillförlitlighet i fordonsbaserade tågsystem. För detta ändamål jämförs fyra modeller för maskininlärning (Multi-Layer Perceptron, Imperialist Competitive Algorithm Mult-iLayer Perceptron, Long Short-Term Memory Network och Convolutional Neural Network) för att fastställa vilken som har den bästa förutsägelseprestandan. Vi undersöker också effekten av att ha en eller flera funktioner representerade i den datamängd som används för att träna modellerna. De olika modellernas prestanda utvärderas med hjälp av medelabsolut fel, medelkvadratfel, rotmedelkvadratfel och R-kvadrat. Rapporten visar att Long Short-Term Memory Network är den modell som ger bäst resultat på de data som använts för detta projekt. Den visar också att dataset med en enda funktion ger bättre förutsägelser. Den lilla mängd data som fanns tillgänglig för att genomföra experimenten i detta projekt kan dock ha påverkat de erhållna resultaten, vilket gör att ytterligare undersökningar är nödvändiga.

Radar based tank level measurement using machine learning : Agricultural machines / Nivåmätning av tank med radar sensorer och maskininlärning

Thorén, Daniel January 2021 (has links)
Agriculture is becoming more dependent on computerized solutions to make thefarmer’s job easier. The big step that many companies are working towards is fullyautonomous vehicles that work the fields. To that end, the equipment fitted to saidvehicles must also adapt and become autonomous. Making this equipment autonomoustakes many incremental steps, one of which is developing an accurate and reliable tanklevel measurement system. In this thesis, a system for tank level measurement in a seedplanting machine is evaluated. Traditional systems use load cells to measure the weightof the tank however, these types of systems are expensive to build and cumbersome torepair. They also add a lot of weight to the equipment which increases the fuel consump-tion of the tractor. Thus, this thesis investigates the use of radar sensors together witha number of Machine Learning algorithms. Fourteen radar sensors are fitted to a tankat different positions, data is collected, and a preprocessing method is developed. Then,the data is used to test the following Machine Learning algorithms: Bagged RegressionTrees (BG), Random Forest Regression (RF), Boosted Regression Trees (BRT), LinearRegression (LR), Linear Support Vector Machine (L-SVM), Multi-Layer Perceptron Re-gressor (MLPR). The model with the best 5-fold crossvalidation scores was Random For-est, closely followed by Boosted Regression Trees. A robustness test, using 5 previouslyunseen scenarios, revealed that the Boosted Regression Trees model was the most robust.The radar position analysis showed that 6 sensors together with the MLPR model gavethe best RMSE scores.In conclusion, the models performed well on this type of system which shows thatthey might be a competitive alternative to load cell based systems.

Recommending digital books to children : Acomparative study of different state-of-the-art recommendation system techniques / Att rekommendera digitala böcker till barn : En jämförelsestudie av olika moderna tekniker för rekommendationssystem

Lundqvist, Malvin January 2023 (has links)
Collaborative filtering is a popular technique to use behavior data in the form of user’s interactions with, or ratings of, items in a system to provide personalized recommendations of items to the user. This study compares three different state-of-the-art Recommendation System models that implement this technique, Matrix Factorization, Multi-layer Perceptron and Neural Matrix Factorization, using behavior data from a digital book platform for children. The field of Recommendation Systems is growing, and many platforms can benefit of personalizing the user experience and simplifying the use of the platforms. To perform a more complex comparison and introduce a new take on the models, this study proposes a new way to represent the behavior data as input to the models, i.e., to use the Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (TFIDF) of occurrences of interactions between users and books, as opposed to the traditional binary representation (positive if there has been any interaction and negative otherwise). The performance is measured by extracting the last book read for each user, and evaluating how the models would rank that book for recommendations to the user. To assess the value of the models for the children’s reading platform, the models are also compared to the existing Recommendation System on the digital book platform. The results indicate that the Matrix Factorization model performs best out of the three models when using children’s reading behavior data. However, due to the long training process and larger set of hyperparameters to tune for the other two models, these may not have reached an optimal hyperparameter tuning, thereby affecting the comparison among the three state-of-the-art models. This limitation is further discussed in the study. All three models perform significantly better than the current system on the digital book platform. The models with the proposed representation using TF-IDF values show notable promise, performing better than the binary representation in almost all numerical metrics for all models. These results can suggest future research work on more ways of representing behavior data as input to these types of models. / Kollaborativ filtrering är en populär teknik för att använda beteendedata från användare i form av t.ex. interaktioner med, eller betygsättning av, objekt i ett system för att ge användaren personliga rekommendationer om objekt. I den här studien jämförs tre olika modeller av moderna rekommendationssystem som tillämpar denna teknik, matrisfaktorisering, flerlagersperceptron och neural matrisfaktorisering, med hjälp av beteendedata från en digital läsplattform för barn. Rekommendationssystem är ett växande område, och många plattformar kan dra nytta av att anpassa användarupplevelsen utifrån individen och förenkla användningen av plattformen. För att utföra en mer komplex jämförelse och introducera en ny variant av modellerna, föreslår denna studie ett nytt sätt att representera beteendedata som indata till modellerna, d.v.s. att använda termfrekvens med omvänd dokumentfrekvens (TF- IDF) av förekomster av interaktioner mellan användare och böcker, i motsats till den traditionella binära representationen (positiv om en tidigare interaktion existerar och negativ i annat fall). Prestandan mäts genom att extrahera den senaste boken som lästs för varje användare, och utvärdera hur högt modellerna skulle rangordna den boken i rekommendationer till användaren. För att värdesätta modellerna för plattformen med digitala böcker, så jämförs modellerna också med det befintliga rekommendationssystemet på plattformen. Resultaten tyder på att matrisfaktorisering-modellen presterar bäst utav de tre modellerna när man använder data från barns läsbeteende. På grund av den långa träningstiden och fler hyperparametrar att optimera för de andra två modellerna, kan det dock vara så att de inte har nått en optimal hyperparameterinställning, vilket påverkar jämförelsen mellan de tre moderna modellerna. Denna begränsning diskuteras ytterligare i studien. Alla tre modellerna presterar betydligt bättre än det nuvarande systemet på läsplattformen. Modellerna med den föreslagna representationen av TFIDF-värden visar sig mycket lovande och presterar bättre än den binära representationen i nästan alla numeriska mått för alla modeller. Dessa resultat kan ge skäl för framtida forskning av fler sätt att representera beteendedata som indata till denna typ av modeller.

Machine Learning Based Prediction and Classification for Uplift Modeling / Maskininlärningsbaserad prediktion och klassificering för inkrementell responsanalys

Börthas, Lovisa, Krange Sjölander, Jessica January 2020 (has links)
The desire to model the true gain from targeting an individual in marketing purposes has lead to the common use of uplift modeling. Uplift modeling requires the existence of a treatment group as well as a control group and the objective hence becomes estimating the difference between the success probabilities in the two groups. Efficient methods for estimating the probabilities in uplift models are statistical machine learning methods. In this project the different uplift modeling approaches Subtraction of Two Models, Modeling Uplift Directly and the Class Variable Transformation are investigated. The statistical machine learning methods applied are Random Forests and Neural Networks along with the standard method Logistic Regression. The data is collected from a well established retail company and the purpose of the project is thus to investigate which uplift modeling approach and statistical machine learning method that yields in the best performance given the data used in this project. The variable selection step was shown to be a crucial component in the modeling processes as so was the amount of control data in each data set. For the uplift to be successful, the method of choice should be either the Modeling Uplift Directly using Random Forests, or the Class Variable Transformation using Logistic Regression. Neural network - based approaches are sensitive to uneven class distributions and is hence not able to obtain stable models given the data used in this project. Furthermore, the Subtraction of Two Models did not perform well due to the fact that each model tended to focus too much on modeling the class in both data sets separately instead of modeling the difference between the class probabilities. The conclusion is hence to use an approach that models the uplift directly, and also to use a great amount of control data in each data set. / Behovet av att kunna modellera den verkliga vinsten av riktad marknadsföring har lett till den idag vanligt förekommande metoden inkrementell responsanalys. För att kunna utföra denna typ av metod krävs förekomsten av en existerande testgrupp samt kontrollgrupp och målet är således att beräkna differensen mellan de positiva utfallen i de två grupperna. Sannolikheten för de positiva utfallen för de två grupperna kan effektivt estimeras med statistiska maskininlärningsmetoder. De inkrementella responsanalysmetoderna som undersöks i detta projekt är subtraktion av två modeller, att modellera den inkrementella responsen direkt samt en klassvariabeltransformation. De statistiska maskininlärningsmetoderna som tillämpas är random forests och neurala nätverk samt standardmetoden logistisk regression. Datan är samlad från ett väletablerat detaljhandelsföretag och målet är därmed att undersöka vilken inkrementell responsanalysmetod och maskininlärningsmetod som presterar bäst givet datan i detta projekt. De mest avgörande aspekterna för att få ett bra resultat visade sig vara variabelselektionen och mängden kontrolldata i varje dataset. För att få ett lyckat resultat bör valet av maskininlärningsmetod vara random forests vilken används för att modellera den inkrementella responsen direkt, eller logistisk regression tillsammans med en klassvariabeltransformation. Neurala nätverksmetoder är känsliga för ojämna klassfördelningar och klarar därmed inte av att erhålla stabila modeller med den givna datan. Vidare presterade subtraktion av två modeller dåligt på grund av att var modell tenderade att fokusera för mycket på att modellera klassen i båda dataseten separat, istället för att modellera differensen mellan dem. Slutsatsen är således att en metod som modellerar den inkrementella responsen direkt samt en relativt stor kontrollgrupp är att föredra för att få ett stabilt resultat.

Applying Artificial Neural Networks to Reduce the Adaptation Space in Self-Adaptive Systems : an exploratory work

Buttar, Sarpreet Singh January 2019 (has links)
Self-adaptive systems have limited time to adjust their configurations whenever their adaptation goals, i.e., quality requirements, are violated due to some runtime uncertainties. Within the available time, they need to analyze their adaptation space, i.e., a set of configurations, to find the best adaptation option, i.e., configuration, that can achieve their adaptation goals. Existing formal analysis approaches find the best adaptation option by analyzing the entire adaptation space. However, exhaustive analysis requires time and resources and is therefore only efficient when the adaptation space is small. The size of the adaptation space is often in hundreds or thousands, which makes formal analysis approaches inefficient in large-scale self-adaptive systems. In this thesis, we tackle this problem by presenting an online learning approach that enables formal analysis approaches to analyze large adaptation spaces efficiently. The approach integrates with the standard feedback loop and reduces the adaptation space to a subset of adaptation options that are relevant to the current runtime uncertainties. The subset is then analyzed by the formal analysis approaches, which allows them to complete the analysis faster and efficiently within the available time. We evaluate our approach on two different instances of an Internet of Things application. The evaluation shows that our approach dramatically reduces the adaptation space and analysis time without compromising the adaptation goals.

A Machine Learning Model of Perturb-Seq Data for use in Space Flight Gene Expression Profile Analysis

Liam Fitzpatric Johnson (18437556) 27 April 2024 (has links)
<p dir="ltr">The genetic perturbations caused by spaceflight on biological systems tend to have a system-wide effect which is often difficult to deconvolute into individual signals with specific points of origin. Single cell multi-omic data can provide a profile of the perturbational effects but does not necessarily indicate the initial point of interference within a network. The objective of this project is to take advantage of large scale and genome-wide perturbational or Perturb-Seq datasets by using them to pre-train a generalist machine learning model that is capable of predicting the effects of unseen perturbations in new data. Perturb-Seq datasets are large libraries of single cell RNA sequencing data collected from CRISPR knock out screens in cell culture. The advent of generative machine learning algorithms, particularly transformers, make it an ideal time to re-assess large scale data libraries in order to grasp cell and even organism-wide genomic expression motifs. By tailoring an algorithm to learn the downstream effects of the genetic perturbations, we present a pre-trained generalist model capable of predicting the effects of multiple perturbations in combination, locating points of origin for perturbation in new datasets, predicting the effects of known perturbations in new datasets, and annotation of large-scale network motifs. We demonstrate the utility of this model by identifying key perturbational signatures in RNA sequencing data from spaceflown biological samples from the NASA Open Science Data Repository.</p>
