Federated SHM: a Novel Collaborative ML Approach to Overcome Data Scarcity and Data Privacy Concerns in StructuralHealth Monitoring
- The deployment of machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) in structural health monitoring (SHM) faces multiple challenges. Foremost among these is the insufficient availability of extensive high-quality data sets essential for robust training. Within SHM, high-quality data is defined by its accuracy, relevance, and fidelity in representing real-world structural scenarios (pristine as well as damaged). Although methods like data augmentation and creating synthetic data can add to datasets, they frequently sacrifice the authenticity and true representation of the data. Sharing real-world data encapsulating true structural and anomalous scenarios offers promise. However, entities are often reluctant to share raw data, given the potential extraction of sensitive information, leading to trust issues among collaborating entities. Our study introduces a novel methodology leveraging Federated Learning (FL) to navigate these challenges. Within the FL framework, models are trained in aThe deployment of machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) in structural health monitoring (SHM) faces multiple challenges.

Sharing real-world data encapsulating true structural and anomalous scenarios offers promise. However, entities are often reluctant to share raw data, given the potential extraction of sensitive information, leading to trust issues among collaborating entities. Our study introduces a novel methodology leveraging Federated Learning (FL) to navigate these challenges. Within the FL framework, models are trained in a decentralized manner across different entities, preserving data privacy. In our research, we simulated several scenarios and compared them to traditional local training methods. Employing guided wave (GW) datasets, we distributed the data among different parties (clients) using IID (independent, identically distributed or in other words, statistically identical) mini batches of dataset, as well as non-IID configurations. This approach mirrors real-world data distribution among varied entities, such as hydrogen refueling stations. In our methodology, the initial round involves individualized training for each client using their unique datasets . Subsequently, the model parameters are sent to the FL server, where they are averaged to construct a global model. In the second round, this global model is disseminated back to the clients to aid in predictive tasks. This iterative process continues for several rounds to reach convergence. Our findings distinctly highlight the advantages of FL over localized training, evidenced by a marked improvement in prediction accuracy . This research underscores the potential of FL in GW-based SHM, offering a remedy to similar challenges tied to data scarcity in other SHM approaches and paving the way for a new era of collaborative, data-centric monitoring systems.…
