Adaptive decentralized AI scheme for signal recognition of distributed sensor systems by Shixiong Zhang, Hao Li, Cunzheng Fan, Zhichao Zeng, Chao Xiong, Jie Wu, Zhijun Yan, Deming Liu, Qizhen Sun

“…By fine-tuning pre-trained model with the unlabeled data in each domain, the ADAI scheme can train a series of adaptive AI models for all target domains, significantly reducing the false alarm rate (FAR) and missing alarm rate (MAR) induced by domain differences. The field tests about intrusion signal recognition with distributed optical fiber sensors system demonstrate the efficacy of the ADAI scheme, showcasing a FAR of merely 4.3% and 0%, along with a MAR of only 1.4% and 2.7% within two specific target domains. …”
