Machine Learning for Cyber-Physical Systems

Abstract

Machine Learning plays a crucial role for many innovations for Cyber-Physical Systems such as production systems. On the one hand, this is due to the availability of more and more data in ever better quality. On the other hand, the demands on the systems are also increasing: Production systems have to support more and more product variants, saving resources is increasingly in focus and international competition is forcing companies to innovate faster. Machine Learning leverages data to solve these issues. The goal is to have self-learning systems which improve over time. There are various algorithms and methods for this, for which an overview is given here. Furthermore, this article discusses special requirements of Cyber-Physical Systems for Machine Learning processes.
