As rolling bearings are the key components in rotating machinery, bearing performance degradation directly affects machine running status. A tendency prognosis for bearing performance degradation is thus required to ensure the stability of operation. This paper proposes a novel strategy for bearing performance degradation trend prognosis, including health indicator construction techniques and a performance degradation trend prediction method. To more accurately represent the degradation trend, the multiscale deep bottleneck health indicator is proposed as a new synthesized health indicator to remove high-frequency detail signals from features, which can reduce possible fluctuations in conventional synthetic health indicators. A suitable method for selecting the statistical characteristics required for fusion is also presented to solve the problem of information redundancy that affects trend representation. In addition, a stacked autoencoder network is used for deep feature extraction of selected statistical features. A bidirectional long short-term memory network prediction model is also proposed for the prediction of degradation trend, which can make full use of historical and future information to improve prediction accuracy. Finally, experiments are carried out to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Accurately predicting the load change of the information system during operation has important guiding significance for ensuring that the system operation is not interrupted and resource scheduling is carried out in advance. For the information system monitoring time series data, this article proposes a load trend prediction method based on isolated forests-empirical modal decomposition-long-term (IF-EMD-LSTM). First, considering the problem of noise and abnormal points in the original data, the isolated forest algorithm is used to eliminate the abnormal points in the data. Second, in order to further improve the prediction accuracy, the empirical modal decomposition algorithm is used to decompose the input data into intrinsic mode function (IMF) components of different frequencies. Each intrinsic mode function (IMF) and residual is predicted using a separate long-term and short-term memory neural network, and the predicted values are reconstructed from each long-term and short-term memory model. Finally, experimental verification was carried out on Amazon’s public data set and compared with autoregressive integrated moving average and Prophet models. The experimental results show the superior performance of the proposed IF-EMD-LSTM prediction model in information system load trend prediction.

The prediction of the remaining life of a bearing plays a vital role in reducing the accident-related maintenance costs of machinery and in improving the reliability of machinery and equipment. To predict bearing remaining useful life (RUL), the abilities of statistical characteristics to reflect the bearing degradation state differ, and the single prediction model has low generalization ability and a poor prediction effect. An ensemble robust prediction method is proposed here to predict bearing RUL based on the construction of a bearing degradation indicator set: the initial bearing degradation indicator subsets were constructed using the Fast Correlation-Based Filter with Approximate Markov Blankets (FCBF-AMB) and Maximal Information Coefficient (MIC) selection methods. Through the cross-operation of the obtained subsets, we obtained a set of robust degradation indicators. These selected degradation indicators were fed into the long short-term memory (LSTM) neural network prediction model enhanced by the AdaBoost algorithm. We found through calculation that the average prediction accuracy of the proposed method is 91.40%, 92.04%, and 93.25% at 2100, 2250, and 2400 rpm, respectively. Compared with other methods, the proposed method improves the prediction accuracy by 1.8% to 14.87% at most. Therefore, the method proposed in this paper is more accurate than the other methods in terms of RUL prediction.

To meet the increasing sailing demand of the Northeast Passage of the Arctic, a daily prediction model of sea ice concentration (SIC) based on the convolutional long short-term memory network (ConvLSTM) algorithm was proposed in this study. Previously, similar deep learning algorithms (such as convolutional neural networks; CNNs) were frequently used to predict monthly changes in sea ice. To verify the validity of the model, the ConvLSTM and CNNs models were compared based on their spatiotemporal scale by calculating the spatial structure similarity, root-mean-square-error, and correlation coefficient. The results show that in the entire test set, the single prediction effect of ConvLSTM was better than that of CNNs. Taking 15 December 2018 as an example, ConvLSTM was superior to CNNs in simulating the local variations in the sea ice concentration in the Northeast Passage, particularly in the vicinity of the East Siberian Sea. Finally, the predictability of ConvLSTM and CNNs was analysed following the iteration prediction method, demonstrating that the predictability of ConvLSTM was better than that of CNNs.

Predicting the direction of the stock market has always been a huge challenge. Also, the way of forecasting the stock market reduces the risk in the financial market, thus ensuring that brokers can make normal returns. Despite the complexities of the stock market, the challenge has been increasingly addressed by experts in a variety of disciplines, including economics, statistics, and computer science. The introduction of machine learning, in-depth understanding of the prospects of the financial market, thus doing many experiments to predict the future so that the stock price trend has different degrees of success. In this paper, we propose a method to predict stocks from different industries and markets, as well as trend prediction using traditional machine learning algorithms such as linear regression, polynomial regression and learning techniques in time series prediction using two forms of special types of recursive neural networks: long and short time memory (LSTM) and spoken short-term memory.

Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) are increasingly being used for model identification, forecasting and control. When identifying physical models with unknown mathematical knowledge of the system, Nonlinear AutoRegressive models with eXogenous inputs (NARX) or Nonlinear AutoRegressive Moving-Average models with eXogenous inputs (NARMAX) methods are typically used. In the context of data-driven control, machine learning algorithms are proven to have comparable performances to advanced control techniques, but lack the properties of the traditional stability theory. This paper illustrates a method to prove a posteriori the stability of a generic neural network, showing its application to the state-of-the-art RNN architecture. The presented method relies on identifying the poles associated with the network designed starting from the input/output data. Providing a framework to guarantee the stability of any neural network architecture combined with the generalisability properties and applicability to different fields can significantly broaden their use in dynamic systems modelling and control.

Data-driven methods using synchrophasor measurements have a broad application prospect in Transient Stability Assessment (TSA). Most previous studies only focused on predicting whether the power system is stable or not after disturbance, which lacked a quantitative analysis of the risk of transient stability. Therefore, this paper proposes a two-stage power system TSA method based on snapshot ensemble long short-term memory (LSTM) network. This method can efficiently build an ensemble model through a single training process, and employ the disturbed trajectory measurements as the inputs, which can realize rapid end-to-end TSA. In the first stage, dynamic hierarchical assessment is carried out through the classifier, so as to screen out credible samples step by step. In the second stage, the regressor is used to predict the transient stability margin of the credible stable samples and the undetermined samples, and combined with the built risk function to realize the risk quantification of transient angle stability. Furthermore, by modifying the loss function of the model, it effectively overcomes sample imbalance and overlapping. The simulation results show that the proposed method can not only accurately predict binary information representing transient stability status of samples, but also reasonably reflect the transient safety risk level of power systems, providing reliable reference for the subsequent control.

In applications such as carrier attitude control and mobile device navigation, a micro-electro-mechanical-system (MEMS) gyroscope will inevitably be affected by random vibration, which significantly affects the performance of the MEMS gyroscope. In order to solve the degradation of MEMS gyroscope performance in random vibration environments, in this paper, a combined method of a long short-term memory (LSTM) network and Kalman filter (KF) is proposed for error compensation, where Kalman filter parameters are iteratively optimized using the Kalman smoother and expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm. In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, we performed a linear random vibration test to acquire MEMS gyroscope data. Subsequently, an analysis of the effects of input data step size and network topology on gyroscope error compensation performance is presented. Furthermore, the autoregressive moving average-Kalman filter (ARMA-KF) model, which is commonly used in gyroscope error compensation, was also combined with the LSTM network as a comparison method. The results show that, for the x-axis data, the proposed combined method reduces the standard deviation (STD) by 51.58% and 31.92% compared to the bidirectional LSTM (BiLSTM) network, and EM-KF method, respectively. For the z-axis data, the proposed combined method reduces the standard deviation by 29.19% and 12.75% compared to the BiLSTM network and EM-KF method, respectively. Furthermore, for x-axis data and z-axis data, the proposed combined method reduces the standard deviation by 46.54% and 22.30% compared to the BiLSTM-ARMA-KF method, respectively, and the output is smoother, proving the effectiveness of the proposed method.

AbstractBotnets and malware continue to avoid detection by static rule engines when using domain generation algorithms (DGAs) for callouts to unique, dynamically generated web addresses. Common DGA detection techniques fail to reliably detect DGA variants that combine random dictionary words to create domain names that closely mirror legitimate domains. To combat this, we created a novel hybrid neural network, Bilbo the “bagging” model, that analyses domains and scores the likelihood they are generated by such algorithms and therefore are potentially malicious. Bilbo is the first parallel usage of a convolutional neural network (CNN) and a long short-term memory (LSTM) network for DGA detection. Our unique architecture is found to be the most consistent in performance in terms of AUC, $$F_1$$ F 1 score, and accuracy when generalising across different dictionary DGA classification tasks compared to current state-of-the-art deep learning architectures. We validate using reverse-engineered dictionary DGA domains and detail our real-time implementation strategy for scoring real-world network logs within a large enterprise. In 4 h of actual network traffic, the model discovered at least five potential command-and-control networks that commercial vendor tools did not flag.
