ENAS-PdM is a custom Evolutionary Algorithm specifically designed to optimize a Deep Network architecture used to predict the Remaining Useful Life (RUL) for predictive maintenance (PdM). Based on our previous work, Multi-Head CNN-LSTM with Prediction Error Analysis for Remaining Useful Life Prediction, the goal of this study is to find the best multi-head Convolutional Neural Network with Long Short Term Memory (CNN-LSTM) architecture for the RUL prediction. For that, we use evolutionary search to explore the combinatorial parameter space of a multi-head CNN-LSTM as shown below figure.

You can download the benchmark dataset used in our experiments, C-MAPSS from here. The files should be placed in /tmp folder. The ENAS-PdM library has the following dependencies:

pip install -r py_pkg_requirements.txt

• pandas
• numpy
• scikit-learn
• tqdm
• tensorflow-gpu
• deap
• matplotlib

• launcher.py: launcher for the experiments.
  • evolutionary_algorithm.py: implementations of evolutionary algorithms to evolve neural networks in the context of predictive mainteinance.
  • task.py: implementation of a Task, used to load the data and compute the fitness of an individual.
  • utils.py: generating the multi-head CNN-LSTM network & training the network.
    • network_training.py: class for network generation and training.
    • ts_preprocessing.py: class for preprocessing and data preparation.
    • ts_window.py: class for time series window application.
• experiments.py: Evaluation of the discovered network by ENAS-PdM on unobserved data during EA & Training.

Please launch ENAS-PdM by

python3 launcher.py
