This paper is concerned with an innovative strategy that maps chronicles, that are timed discrete event models, to a k-dimensional Euclidean space via random projections. The proposed approach is a projection that takes into account both characteristics of events, namely event types, and temporal constraints of chronicles. This will lead to an unbounded convex polytope in the Euclidean space that contains all the possible instances of the corresponding chronicle. It allows to easily and efficiently compare chronicles. Such comparisons are useful in a fault diagnosis purpose to discriminate chronicles representing behaviors of dynamic processes. Examples and preliminary results are provided in this paper to introduce the proposed methodology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
