评论： Andy Wileman 2022-3-25

Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone may have any suggestions to improve the classifcation from a SVM. I'm currently following the example from the Mathworks help https://uk.mathworks.com/help/predmaint/ug/multi-class-fault-detection-using-simulated-data.html and ammending it to finding faults in my own generated data set.

My problem is, I'm getting poor results in the classification and I'm wondering if anyone may be able to suggest ways to improve this?

The output from my data set undergoes preprocessing as in the example, I've retimed it to the frequency the circuit operates at 20KHz = 5e-5 secs. The power spectrum and features are extracted as in the example. From the features a fault flag is produced using statistical measures and used to train the classifier (see code below).

At present I'm only trying to extract (alas not very sucessfully) three separate faults, eventually I would also like to classify multiple faults.

The best results I've achieved are 43.75% accuracy (see below).

I did think it may be to do with the feature extraction, as the power spectrum starts at -50dB so extracting changes in features is difficult.

My data set contains 80 runs (this takes ages to generate) - probably at bit small, would a larger set help?

I would be very grateful if anyone may be able to suggest ways to improve the classification (if possible).

Kind regards,

Andy

Hi Andy,

You are correct, the features you extract from your data are going to have a big impact on the accuracy of your classifier. And you're also right that more data is going to help here. Below are a few ideas to try that will probably improve the accuracy:

Features: This is probably your biggest issue, You're using the same feature set from the example, but the dataset is different, so it's likely that different features will help separate the classes. You can quickly extract and rank time- and frequency-domain features using the Diagnostic Feature Designer app, which will be different depending on your dataset. Here's an example that shows how to do this interactively for the same pump model you were referencing: Analyze and Select Features for Pump Diagnostics. I also recommend watching this tech talk which walks through the pump example from feature extraction through classification.
Data: 80 signals is pretty slim for 7 classes, and it's even slimmer because you need to save out some data for cross-validation. The example you linked generated 800 signals for the same number of classes. You mentioned that the dataset takes ages to generate, so you might investigate ways to improve the performance Simulink models.
Classifiers: You might also try different types of classifiers besides an SVM. There's no guarantee an SVM will be the best for your dataset just because it worked well for the example. The Classification Learner is a good place to start, or try fitcauto.

Hi Rachel,

Thank you very much for your answer. I've followed your advice and I'm now using Wavelet Scattering to extract the features - much better results, for smaller data sets.

I've also increased the data to 240 signals, again this has helped.

The classification learner is brilliant. Using the advanced feature, once I selected the best classifier, I've again been able to make slight increments by tuning.

I still have a bit more worked to do, but the results are looking a lot better.
