An Accurate and Interpretable Framework for Trustworthy Process Monitoring

arXiv:2302.10426v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Trustworthy process monitoring seeks to build an accurate and interpretable monitoring framework, which is critical for ensuring the safety of energy conversion plant (ECP) that operates under extreme working conditions such as high pressure and temperature. Contemporary self-attentive models, however, fall short in this domain for two main reasons. First, they rely on step-wise correlations that fail to involve physically meaningful semantics in ECP logs, resulting in suboptimal accuracy and interpretability. Second, attention matrices are frequently cluttered with spurious correlations that obscure physically meaningful ones, further impeding effective interpretation. To overcome these issues, we propose AttentionMixer, a framework aimed at improving both accuracy and interpretability of existing methods and establish a trustworthy ECP monitoring framework. Specifically, to tackle the first issue, we employ a spatial adaptive message passing block to capture variate-wise correlations. This block is coupled with a temporal adaptive message passing block through an \textit{mixing} operator, yielding a multi-faceted representation of ECP logs accounting for both step-wise and variate-wise correlations. Concurrently, to tackle the second issue, we employ a sparse message passing regularizer to filter out spurious correlations. We validate the efficacy of AttentionMixer using two real-world datasets from the radiation monitoring network for Chinese nuclear power plants.

Human Presence Detection via Wi-Fi Range-Filtered Doppler Spectrum on Commodity Laptops

arXiv:2603.10845v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Human Presence Detection (HPD) is key to enable intelligent power management and security features in everyday devices. In this paper we propose the first HPD solution that leverages monostatic Wi-Fi sensing and detects user position using only the built-in Wi-Fi hardware of a device, with no need for external devices, access points, or additional sensors. In contrast, existing HPD solutions for laptops require external dedicated sensors which add cost and complexity, or rely on camera-based approaches that introduce significant privacy concerns. We herewith introduce the Range-Filtered Doppler Spectrum (RF-DS), a novel Wi-Fi sensing technique for presence estimation that enables both range-selective and temporally windowed detection of user presence. By applying targeted range-area filtering in the Channel Impulse Response (CIR) domain before Doppler analysis, our method focuses processing on task-relevant spatial zones, significantly reducing computational complexity. In addition, the use of temporal windows in the spectrum domain provides greater estimator stability compared to conventional 2D Range-Doppler detectors. Furthermore, we propose an adaptive multi-rate processing framework that dynamically adjusts Channel State Information (CSI) sampling rates-operating at low frame rates (10Hz) during idle periods and high rates (100Hz) only when motion is detected. To our knowledge, this is the first low-complexity solution for occupancy detection using monostatic Wi-Fi sensing on a built-in Wi-Fi network interface controller (NIC) of a commercial off-the-shelf laptop that requires no external network infrastructure or specialized sensors. Our solution can scale across different environments and devices without calibration or retraining.
