Abstract
Deep learning models have been applied to industrial process fault detection because of their ability to approximate the complex nonlinear behavior. They have been proven to outperform the shallow neural network models. However, there are no good guidelines on how to build these deep models. Therefore, a good deep model is often constructed through a trial-and-error exercise. It is not easy to interpret the model because of features that do not have any physical interpretation. In addition, latent variables (or features) in a deep model are not independent. This causes features to overlap with each other, resulting in challenges in evaluating distributions of features and designing suitable monitoring indices. Finally, typical deep learning models in process monitoring are used in a deterministic manner and do not automatically provide confidence levels for each decision. In this paper, a variational autoencoder is utilized to develop a framework for monitoring uncertain nonlinear processes. The learned latent variables are guaranteed to be independent (or orthogonal) of each other under a specific optimization objective with constraints. The proposed method provides the density estimates of latent variables and residuals instead of point estimates. The density functions are used to design appropriate indices for monitoring. A simulation example and an industrial paper machine example are presented to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

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 it
