Summary
This study introduces a novel zero-shot pipeline blockage detection method using stacking ensemble learning. The approach identifies new defects without prior training data, achieving 72.5% accuracy for unknown defect categories.
Area of Science:
- Engineering
- Machine Learning
- Signal Processing
Background:
- Data-driven defect identification relies heavily on labeled samples.
- Emerging defects during data acquisition create a scarcity of labeled data for new defect types.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a zero-shot learning method for pipeline blockage detection and identification.
- To address the challenge of identifying novel defects without specific training examples.
Main Methods:
- Variational Modal Decomposition (VMD) for signal decomposition.
- Information entropy calculation on intrinsic modal functions (IMFs) to create feature sets.
- Stacking ensemble attribute learning using an attribute matrix for defect categories.
Main Results:
- Successful identification of target defects without prior training samples.
- Enhanced classification performance across six experimental datasets.
- An average recognition accuracy of 72.5% for previously unknown defect categories.
Conclusions:
- The proposed zero-shot learning method effectively identifies pipeline blockages, even for novel defects.
- Stacking ensemble learning combined with VMD and information entropy offers a robust solution for defect identification with limited data.
