New CTRL-FM framework tackles long-horizon node outages in virtual sensing

Researchers have developed CTRL-FM, a novel framework for virtual sensing that addresses the challenge of long-horizon node outages. Unlike existing methods that impose fixed structural biases, CTRL-FM dynamically selects and adapts structural guidance at inference time based on the specific outage conditions. This approach uses observed measurements to construct proxy outages, enabling the selection of optimal control policies (uncontrolled, graph-dominant, temporal-dominant, or balanced) and local modulation based on estimated reliability. CTRL-FM demonstrates superior performance across multiple datasets under significant sensor loss, outperforming methods with fixed structural priors. AI

IMPACT This research could improve the robustness of sensor networks in critical infrastructure by enabling more accurate data imputation during outages.

    CTRL-FM: Inference-Time Structural Control for Flow-Based Virtual Sensing under Long-Horizon Node Outages

    arXiv:2610.30362v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-horizon node outages are harder than conventional missing-value imputation because complete sensor trajectories remain unobserved for extended periods, while the usefulness of spatial and temporal dependencies varies across out…
