- Differentiable neural search architecture with zero-cost metrics for insulator fault predictionPublication . Seman, Laio Oriel; Buratto, William Gouvêa; Gonzalez, Gabriel Villarrubia; Leithardt, Valderi Reis Quietinho; Nied, Ademir; Stefenon, Stefano FrizzoAbstract Reliable monitoring of high-voltage insulators is critical for maintaining the stability of electrical power systems, particularly under environmental contamination that can lead to flashover. Traditional inspection techniques struggle to anticipate degradation dynamics, while data-driven models often rely on fixed neural architectures that inadequately capture the complex temporal patterns in leakage current signals. This work proposes a Differentiable Neural Architecture Search (DARTS) framework, based on zero-cost metrics, tailored for time series forecasting in insulator monitoring. The method based on DARTS integrates a mixed encoder-decoder design with learnable selection over long short-term memory, gated recurrent units, and transformer components, coupled with a cross-attention bridge featuring temporal bias and gating mechanisms. To ensure efficient architecture exploration, the search leverages metrics such as SynFlow and Jacobian covariance for early candidate screening, followed by a bilevel optimization stage with entropy and diversity regularization. Experiments on real-world leakage current data demonstrate that the discovered architectures outperform manually designed baselines, offering improved forecasting performance.
- Input attention, squeeze and excitation, and spatial transformer of YOLO for fault detection using UAVPublication . Carvalho, João Pedro Matos; Stefenon, Stefano Frizzo; Leithardt, Valderi Reis Quietinho; Seman, Laio Oriel; Yow, Kin-Choong; Santana, Juan Francisco De PazThe detection of faults in insulators is important to guarantee the continuous supply of electricity. To identify faults in these components, various object detection methods based on deep learning have been explored. This paper investigates architectural enhancements to the You Only Look Once (YOLO) framework for fault detection in electrical power grid insulators. Three structural variants are proposed: the Input Attention Transformer (IAT-YOLO) for spatial feature refinement, Squeeze-and-Excitation (SAE-YOLO) modules for channel recalibration, and Spatial Transformer Networks (STN-YOLO) for geometric alignment. Experiments were conducted on a publicly available insulator dataset from Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), comprising seven defect categories, including pollution, breakage, and flashover damage. Results demonstrate that STN-YOLO and SAE-YOLO consistently improve generalization and robustness, achieving mAP values of up to 0.995 for specific classes. The findings highlight the effectiveness of integrating attention mechanisms and spatial transformations to enhance YOLO-based detection, contributing to improved automated inspection of the power grid.
- Novelty detection algorithms to help identify abnormal activities in the daily lives of elderly peoplePublication . Fernandes, Anita Maria da Rocha; Leithardt, Valderi Reis Quietinho; Santana, Juan F. de PazThe populations life expectancy is increasing, and this scenario will bring challenges to be faced in the coming decades to provide healthy and inclusive aging. At this stage of life, several common health conditions, chronic illnesses, and disabilities affect the individuals physical and mental health and prevent him from carrying out Activities of Daily Living. In this context, this article presents a comparative study between some Machine Learning algorithms used to identify behavioral abnormalities based on ADL (Activities of Daily Living), through the Novelty Detection technique. ADL data were used to create a model that defines the baseline behavior of an elderly person, and new observations, to verify significant changes in behavior, are classified as outliers or abnormal. The Local Outlier Factor, One-class Support Vector Machine, Robust Covariance, and Isolation Forest algorithms were analyzed, and the Local Outlier Factor obtained the best result, reaching a precision and F1-Score of 96%.
