Signed Directed Graph modeling of industrial processes and their validation by data-based methods
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This paper is concerned with the fusion of information from process data and process connectivity and its subsequent use in fault detection and isolation and hazard assessment. The Signed Directed Graph (SDG), as a graphical model for capturing process topology and connectivity to show the causal relationships between process variables by flow and information paths, has been widely used in root cause and hazard propagation analysis. An SDG is usually built based on process knowledge as described by piping and instrumentation diagrams. This is a complex and experience-dependent task, and therefore the resulting SDG should be validated by process data before being used for analysis. This paper introduces two validation methods. The first method is based on cross-correlation analysis of process data with assumed time delays. The resulting correlation coefficients can then be validated by examining the paths in SDGs of all the variable pairs and also comparing the signs with the directions of causal relations. The second method is based on transfer entropy, where the information transfer from one variable to another can be computed to validate the corresponding arcs in SDGs. A case study of an industrial process is presented to illustrate the application of the proposed methods.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
