General Value Functions for Remaining Useful Life and Failure-Mode Prediction
arXiv:2607. 22268v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Remaining useful life (RUL) prediction and failure-mode classification are central tasks in predictive maintenance.
The paper investigates data‑driven predictive maintenance where health‑condition estimation is coupled with an ordering‑replacement decision model. It shows that the traditional Estimate‑Then‑Optimize (ETO) approach can lead to inconsistent, suboptimal decisions and introduces an Integrated Estimate‑Optimize (IEO) framework that directly optimizes maintenance cost, bypassing conventional accuracy metrics. Experiments on CMAPSS data demonstrate that IEO reduces mean maintenance cost by 14.8–22.7% versus ETO and 7.2–11.8% versus a decision‑oriented baseline, while also lowering failure rates and cost variability, even when prediction errors are higher.

FedCMAPSS is a new benchmark for federated learning applied to remaining useful life (RUL) estimation, built on the NASA C‑MAPSS dataset. It defines five standardized tasks that mimic real‑world industrial scenarios, from ideal IID conditions to highly heterogeneous data distributions. The paper evaluates state‑of‑the‑art federated optimization algorithms across multiple neural architectures, providing reproducible baselines and publicly available code and data splits.

The paper presents a predictive maintenance framework for semiconductor manufacturing that combines deep learning sequence models with simultaneous quantile regression to provide uncertainty‑aware remaining useful life (RUL) estimates. It evaluates several architectures—including state‑space models—on ion‑milling data from the 2018 PHM Data Challenge, showing that the Diagonal State Space (S4D) model delivers the most accurate RUL predictions across quantiles. Compared to preventive maintenance baselines, the S4D approach significantly reduces business costs by avoiding unnecessarily early interventions.

arXiv:2608. 04669v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Many social services assign scarce resources, such as housing assistance or hospital interventions, to people who arrive one at a time: each arrival must receive a decision immediately, and the long-run usage of every resource must stay within its capacity.
arXiv:2607. 23454v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Data-driven remaining useful life (RUL) prediction requires complete degradation trajectories for training, yet such run-to-failure data are scarce and expensive.
arXiv:2307. 05213v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Many real-world optimization problems contain parameters that are unknown before deployment time, either due to stochasticity or to lack of information (e.
