Knowledge graph-based in-context learning for advanced fault diagnosis in sensor networks

This paper introduces a novel approach for enhancing fault diagnosis in industrial equipment systems through the application of sensor network-driven knowledge graph-based in-context learning (KG-ICL). By focusing on the critical role of sensor data in detecting and isolating faults, we construct a domain-specific knowledge graph (DSKG) that encapsulates expert knowledge relevant to industrial equipment. Utilizing a long-length entity similarity (LES) measure, we retrieve relevant information from the DSKG. Our method leverages large language models (LLMs) to conduct causal analysis on textual data related to equipment faults derived from sensor networks, thereby significantly enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of fault diagnosis. This paper details a series of experiments that validate the effectiveness of the KG-ICL method in accurately diagnosing fault causes and locations of industrial equipment systems. By leveraging LLMs and structured knowledge, our approach offers a robust tool for condition monitoring and fault management, thereby improving the reliability and efficiency of operations in industrial sectors. Copyright © 2024 by the authors.
