ADTT: A Highly Efficient Distributed Tensor-Train Decomposition Method for IIoT Big Data

Abstract

The industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is growing quickly due to increasing deployment and integration of smart sensors, instruments, and devices, and software using wired or wireless networks. Through this integrated hardware–software approach, industrial practices will improve significantly, resulting in industrial intelligence for more efficient manufacturing. To realize such industrial intelligence, significant developments in IIoT big data processing and analysis are required to uncover and use hidden essential and valuable information of the production process. But large-scale, streaming, multiattribute IIoT data from production processes are noisy and have redundancies. Therefore, a suitable data processing technique such as tensor-train that can handle these IIoT data is needed. However, existing tensor-train decomposition methods are inefficient and cannot meet the processing demands of the large-scale IIoT big data. In this article, we propose an advanced (improved and highly efficient) distributed tensor-train (ADTT) decomposition method with its incremental computational method for processing IIoT big data. Finally, experiments are carried out on a typical and publicly available IIoT dataset—the bearing test data to verify and measure the performances of the proposed ADTT method.
