Machine-learning algorithms for helicopter hydraulic faults detection: Model based research

Abstract

The problem of automatic reliability monitoring and reliability-centered maintenance is increasingly important today. In this paper, we compare the accuracy of four machine learning approaches for fault detection in a hydraulic system. The first three approaches are based on SVM classifiers with linear, polynomial and RBF kernels and the last one is a gradient boosting on oblivious decision trees. We evaluate algorithms on the synthetic dataset generated by our simulation model of the helicopter hydraulic system and show that high accuracy fault detection can be achieved.
