Abstract

Neural networks, and related statistical pattern recognition techniques, appear to be well suited to the solution of a wide range of monitoring and diagnostic problems. In many applications, it is difficult or impossible to perform first-principles modelling of the system under consideration. If, however, sufficiently large quantities of labelled training data can be made available, then a statistical approach becomes feasible.
