LLMs as Master Forgers: Generating Synthetic Time Series Data for Manufacturing

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The paper introduces a framework that uses Large Language Models (LLMs) to generate synthetic time‑series data for manufacturing processes. By fine‑tuning pre‑trained LLMs on manufacturing instructions and applying Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), the method enhances data diversity and realism. Evaluation against traditional models such as ARIMA and LSTMs shows that the LLM‑driven approach produces higher‑quality synthetic data, better capturing temporal dependencies and improving downstream anomaly detection performance.

A Data-Driven Framework for Unsupervised Monitoring of Transmission Systems Using End-of-Line Testing Data: A Case Study at Ford Motor Company

The paper presents a two‑stage multivariate monitoring framework for high‑dimensional, temporally dependent data from end‑of‑line testing in automotive manufacturing. Stage one cleans and aligns the data, while stage two applies nonlinear dimensionality reduction and a control‑chart‑based anomaly detection procedure that can operate in unsupervised or supervised modes. Applied to Ford Motor Company production data, the framework outperforms the existing model, raising accuracy from 0.50 to 0.625, recall from 0.30 to 1.00, and F1 score from 0.429 to 0.769.

Timer-M1: A Multivariate Time Series Foundation Model via Learning Primitives

Timer‑M1 is a pretrained multivariate time‑series foundation model that learns with primitives for zero‑shot forecasting. It uses a primitive‑based data synthesis and pretraining pipeline to generate series with shared temporal and relational patterns, assembling them into multivariate samples with distinct channel roles. The model employs gated two‑dimensional Transformer blocks that dynamically allocate cross‑variate attention, achieving top performance on several large‑scale forecasting benchmarks.

Process-Aware Event Log Augmentation for Process Prediction under Labeled Data Scarcity

The paper introduces SiamSA-PPM, a self‑supervised framework that augments event logs for predictive process monitoring by generating realistic trace variants using control‑flow semantics and frequent behavioral patterns. It combines Siamese learning with statistically grounded data augmentation to learn generalizable prefix representations without requiring labeled data. Experiments on diverse real‑world logs show that SiamSA-PPM matches or outperforms state‑of‑the‑art baselines in next‑activity and final‑outcome prediction tasks.
