Abstract

The aim of this paper is to contribute to machine-learning technology that expands real-time and offline Integrated System Health Management capabilities for future deep-space exploration efforts. To this end, we have developed Anomaly Detection via Topological feature-Map (ADTM), which leverages a Self-Organizing Map (SOM)-based architecture to produce high-resolution clusters of nominal system behavior. What distinguishes ADTM from more common clustering techniques (e.g. k-means) is that it maps high-dimensional input vectors to a 2D grid while preserving the topology of the original dataset. The result is a ‘semantic map’ that serves as a powerful tool for uncovering latent relationships between features of the incoming data points. We successfully modeled and analyzed datasets from a NASA Ames Research Center Graywater Recycling System which documents a real hardware system fault. Our results show that ADTM effectively detects both known and unknown anomalies and identifies the correlated measurands from models trained using just nominal data.
