Siyuan and Yuquan’s Work on Fault Diagnosis Published in IEEE/ASME Transactions on Mechatronics
Fault diagnosis for rolling elements in rotating machinery persistently receives high research interest due to the said machinery’s prevalence in a broad range of applications. State-of-the-art methods in such setups focus on effective identification of faults that usually involve a single component while rejecting noise from limited sources. This paper studies the data-based diagnosis of […]
Boge and Siyuan’s Work on Human Action Detection and Monitoring Published in Computers in Industry
This paper presents a new approach for temporal detection of short human activities in untrimmed videos. Most present methods for temporal action detection, to our best knowledge, are trained on public action datasets that feature actions spanning up to tens and hundreds of seconds. However, it is often desired in manufacturing, transportation, and other safety-critical […]
