Abstract

The learning apparatus according to one exemplary embodiment includes: a pattern extractor that extracts a time fluctuation pattern of an amplitude of a feature frequency from state observation signal data up to a first time point, the state observation signal data indicating an operation state of equipment, the feature frequency being associated with a part of the equipment; a training data generator that generates, based on the time fluctuation pattern of the amplitude of the feature frequency, simulated state observation signal data representing the time fluctuation pattern of the amplitude of the feature frequency at and after the first time point, and generates training data including the simulated state observation signal data; and a learner that generates a classification model for determination of a failure state of the part of the equipment using the training data.

Claims (27)

1 . A learning apparatus, comprising:

a pattern extractor that extracts a time fluctuation pattern of an amplitude of a feature frequency from state observation signal data up to a first time point, the state observation signal data indicating an operation state of equipment, the feature frequency being associated with a part of the equipment;

a training data generator that generates, based on the time fluctuation pattern of the amplitude of the feature frequency, simulated state observation signal data representing the time fluctuation pattern of the amplitude of the feature frequency at and after the first time point, and generates training data including the simulated state observation signal data; and

a learner that generates a classification model for determination of a failure state of the part of the equipment using the training data.

2 . The learning apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the training data generator generates the training data in which the simulated state observation signal data, a frequency label representing the feature frequency, and a time point label representing an elapsed time from the first time point are combined as a set.

3 . The learning apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the training data generator generates the simulated state observation signal data by performing extrapolation of the time fluctuation pattern of the amplitude extracted from the state observation signal data up to the first time point.

4 . The learning apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a simulator that estimates the feature frequency by performing a simulation using an equipment model modeling the equipment.

5 . The learning apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein

when the simulator simulates the failure state of the part of the equipment using the equipment model modeling the equipment, the training data generator generates the training data such that the training data converges to the simulated failure state of the part of the equipment.

6 . A learning method performed by a learning apparatus, the learning method comprising:

extracting a time fluctuation pattern of an amplitude of a feature frequency from state observation signal data up to a first time point, the state observation signal data indicating an operation state of equipment, the feature frequency being associated with a part of the equipment;

generating, based on the time fluctuation pattern of the amplitude of the feature frequency, simulated state observation signal data representing the time fluctuation pattern of the amplitude of the feature frequency at and after the first time point;

generating training data including the simulated state observation signal data; and

generating a classification model for determination of a failure state of the part of the equipment using the training data.

7 . A failure prediction system, comprising:

a learning apparatus according to claim 1 ; and

a state determiner that determines the failure state of the part of the equipment using current state observation signal data indicating a current operation state of the equipment and the classification model.

8 . The failure prediction system according to claim 7 , further comprising:

a display that displays a determination result of the failure state of the part of the equipment.

9 . The failure prediction system according to claim 8 , wherein

the display displays a time fluctuation of the amplitude of the feature frequency.

10 . The failure prediction system according to claim 8 , wherein:

the part of the equipment comprises a plurality of the parts of the equipment and the feature frequency comprises a plurality of the feature frequencies, and

the display displays determination results of failure states of the plurality of parts of the equipment.
