  • 融合TFT与变分自编码器,将高维时间序列映射到低维空间
  • 通过2D可视化识别多类电网事件特征,准确率显著提升
  • 适合电力系统运维、智能诊断等需要可解释AI的场景

在城市与环境系统运行中,检测和分析多变量时间序列中的复杂模式对决策至关重要。然而,高维度、结构复杂及相互关联的模式特征阻碍了对其物理机制的理解。现有AI方法在可解释性、计算效率和可扩展性方面存在局限,难以应用于实际场景。本文提出一种新颖的视觉分析框架,结合时间融合变换器(Temporal Fusion Transformer, TFT)与变分自编码器(Variational Autoencoders, VAE),将复杂模式压缩至低维潜在空间,并利用PCA、t-SNE、UMAP等降维技术与DBSCAN聚类实现2D可视化。通过协调交互视图与定制符号,直观探索多变量时间模式的相似性与潜在关联,提升AI输出的可解释性。案例研究基于电网信号数据,成功识别多种标签事件特征,包括不同根源的故障与异常。此外,引入新指标与可视化方法,验证TFT与VAE在不同配置下生成潜在映射的性能、效率与一致性,为模型参数调优与可靠性改进提供行动建议。对比结果表明,TFT在运行时间与多样化时间序列形状的可扩展性上优于VAE。该工作推动了多变量时间序列的故障诊断,促进可解释AI在关键系统操作中的应用。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Detecting and analyzing complex patterns in multivariate time-series data is crucial for decision-making in urban and environmental system operations. However, challenges arise from the high dimensionality, intricate complexity, and interconnected nature of complex patterns, which hinder the understanding of their underlying physical processes. Existing AI methods often face limitations in interpretability, computational efficiency, and scalability, reducing their applicability in real-world scenarios. This paper proposes a novel visual analytics framework that integrates two generative AI models, Temporal Fusion Transformer (TFT) and Variational Autoencoders (VAEs), to reduce complex patterns into lower-dimensional latent spaces and visualize them in 2D using dimensionality reduction techniques such as PCA, t-SNE, and UMAP with DBSCAN. These visualizations, presented through coordinated and interactive views and tailored glyphs, enable intuitive exploration of complex multivariate temporal patterns, identifying patterns' similarities and uncover their potential correlations for a better interpretability of the AI outputs. The framework is demonstrated through a case study on power grid signal data, where it identifies multi-label grid event signatures, including faults and anomalies with diverse root causes. Additionally, novel metrics and visualizations are introduced to validate the models and evaluate the performance, efficiency, and consistency of latent maps generated by TFT and VAE under different configurations. These analyses provide actionable insights for model parameter tuning and reliability improvements. Comparative results highlight that TFT achieves shorter run times and superior scalability to diverse time-series data shapes compared to VAE. This work advances fault diagnosis in multivariate time series, fostering explainable AI to support critical system operations.
