Preventing Failures by Mining Maintenance Logs with Case-Based Reasoning

The project integrates work in natural language processing, machine learning, and the semantic web, bringing together these diverse disciplines in a novel way to address a real problem. The objective is to extract and categorize machine components and subsystems and their associated failures using a novel approach that combines text analysis, unsupervised text clustering, and domain models. Through industrial partnerships, this project will demonstrate effectiveness of the proposed approach with actual industry data.
