Abstract
Process monitoring through automated fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) plays a crucial role in maintaining a productive and reliable chemical process system. Developments in AI and machine learning have boosted FDD model performances especially with deep learning methods. However, these neural network models are considered black-boxes where the reasoning behind a diagnosis is unclear, preventing industrial adoption. Therefore, in this study, an interpretable neural network model is proposed for FDD in chemical processes. This framework detects and diagnoses faults based on the propagation paths of different faults which are embedded into the architecture through graph convolutional networks. A mechanism for interpreting the node activations which represent process variables is developed for decision verification. The proposed method is evaluated on the benchmark Tennessee Eastman Process where it achieves a 93.56% accuracy on selected faults. • Interpretable neural network for FDD using process data and fault propagation path. • Mechanism for interpreting node activations for model decision validation. • Sensitivity analysis and tuning guidelines for hyperparameters are provided.

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
