New method precisely attributes alarm scores with scarce data

Researchers have developed a new method for precisely attributing alarm scores in industrial and scientific systems, even when incident data is scarce. This approach models the alarm score change as a Shapley game, distinguishing between changes in structural functions and exogenous laws to provide a detailed report on how each type of alteration propagates. For specific types of causal models and scores, the method allows for exact computation in polynomial time, and it includes techniques for estimating attributions from limited incident data with error bounds and recovery guarantees.

    What Moved the Alarm Score? Causal Attribution with Exact Computation and Scarce-Incident Estimation

    arXiv:2610.27534v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Alarms in industrial systems and scientific instruments often demand immediate diagnosis despite scarce incident data. To guide intervention, an explanation must trace how changes in the data-generating process propagate through t…
