Overview

Research scope

Intelligent Time-Series Processing serves as one of the modular building blocks of the SRIS research portfolio. It connects methods, models, and deployment scenarios so that theory, algorithms, and system-level outcomes can be presented as a coherent academic narrative.

Time-series models Efficient analytics Interpretable learning
Three key scientific problems:
  • how to learn faithful temporal representations from high-dimensional, noisy, and irregular sequential data
  • how to develop adaptive and generalizable models that remain robust under distribution shifts, uncertainty, and evolving environments
  • how to translate time-series understanding into efficient, interpretable, and deployable system-level prediction, diagnosis, and decision-making.

    Formal Interpretation of Cyber-Physical System Performance with Temporal Logic

    Gang Chen, Zachary Sabato, Zhaodan Kong
    Cyber-Physical Systems, 4(3), 175-203
    Journal
    We propose a formal interpretation framework that allows a human user to interrogate a cyber-physical system using temporal logic queries. The method formulates interpretation as a temporal logic inference problem and introduces a Gaussian-process-based active learning algorithm to obtain probably approximately correct solutions efficiently.

    Temporal-Logic-Based Semantic Fault Diagnosis With Time-Series Data From Industrial Internet of Things

    Gang Chen, Mei Liu, Zhaodan Kong
    IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics, 68(5), 4393-4403
    Journal
    We formalize semantic fault diagnosis for IIoT systems as the task of learning signal temporal logic formulas directly from time-series data. To address combinatorial explosion, we propose an agenda-based, reinforcement-learning-enabled search strategy that discovers scalable and interpretable fault specifications from industrial sensor data.

    Semantic Inference for Cyber-Physical Systems with Signal Temporal Logic

    Gang Chen, Mei Liu, Zhaodan Kong
    2019 IEEE 58th Conference on Decision and Control (CDC)
    Conference
    We present the problem of semantic inference for cyber-physical systems, aiming to translate system behaviors into signal temporal logic specifications automatically. To address combinatorial explosion in formula search, we propose an agenda-based computation framework and formulate semantic inference as a Markov decision process solved with reinforcement learning.
