Ensemble Method for System Failure Detection Using Large-Scale Telemetry Data
This work addresses system reliability for PC users, but it is incremental as it combines existing methods without introducing a new paradigm.
The paper tackled system failure detection in personal computers by analyzing telemetry data, achieving a notable detection rate with an ensemble method that integrates LSTM networks, isolation forests, OCSVM, and LOF.
The growing reliance on computer systems, particularly personal computers (PCs), necessitates heightened reliability to uphold user satisfaction. This research paper presents an in-depth analysis of extensive system telemetry data, proposing an ensemble methodology for detecting system failures. Our approach entails scrutinizing various parameters of system metrics, encompassing CPU utilization, memory utilization, disk activity, CPU temperature, and pertinent system metadata such as system age, usage patterns, core count, and processor type. The proposed ensemble technique integrates a diverse set of algorithms, including Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, isolation forests, one-class support vector machines (OCSVM), and local outlier factors (LOF), to effectively discern system failures. Specifically, the LSTM network with other machine learning techniques is trained on Intel Computing Improvement Program (ICIP) telemetry software data to distinguish between normal and failed system patterns. Experimental evaluations demonstrate the remarkable efficacy of our models, achieving a notable detection rate in identifying system failures. Our research contributes to advancing the field of system reliability and offers practical insights for enhancing user experience in computing environments.
