Overview

Our lab focuses on developing and applying data analytics tools to facilitate the transition from 'Data Rich' to 'Information Rich' in smart and connected systems. See both opportunities and challenges in the smart and connected systems in Figure 1.

System Modeling Based on Transfer Learning

Transfer learning (TL) is a machine learning tool that focuses on storing knowledge gained while solving one problem and applying it to a different but related problem.

Contamination source identification in a water distribution network

Process Monitoring Based on Bayesian Analysis

The Bayesian analysis facilitates the real-time update of the process status in a probabilistic view, which provides rich information/evidence for decision-making.

KPIs in a manufacturing system represented by queueing network

Control of Stochastic Processes

The control of stochastic processes refers to identifying the optimal input settings to achieve the desired output performance. This is a widely studied problem in the optimization community.
