Energy Disaggregation via Discriminative Sparse Coding
نویسندگان
چکیده
Energy disaggregation is the task of taking a whole-home energy signal and separating it into its component appliances. Studies have shown that having devicelevel energy information can cause users to conserve significant amounts of energy, but current electricity meters only report whole-home data. Thus, developing algorithmic methods for disaggregation presents a key technical challenge in the effort to maximize energy conservation. In this paper, we examine a large scale energy disaggregation task, and apply a novel extension of sparse coding to this problem. In particular, we develop a method, based upon structured prediction, for discriminatively training sparse coding algorithms specifically to maximize disaggregation performance. We show that this significantly improves the performance of sparse coding algorithms on the energy task and illustrate how these disaggregation results can provide useful information about energy usage.

متن کاملEnergy Disaggregation via Learning Powerlets and Sparse Coding
In this paper, we consider the problem of energy disaggregation, i.e., decomposing a whole home electricity signal into its component appliances. We propose a new supervised algorithm, which in the learning stage, automatically extracts signature consumption patterns of each device by modeling the device as a mixture of dynamical systems. In order to extract signature consumption patterns of a ...
متن کاملDiscriminative Training of Structured Dictionaries via Block Orthogonal Matching Pursuit
It is well established that high-level representations learned via sparse coding are effective for many machine learning applications such as denoising and classification. In addition to being reconstructive, sparse representations that are discriminative and invariant can further help with such applications. In order to achieve these desired properties, this paper proposes a new framework that...

In this paper, we explore an efficient variant of convolutional sparse coding with unit norm code vectors where reconstruction quality is evaluated using an inner product (cosine distance). To use these codes for discriminative classification, we describe a model we term Energy-Based Spherical Sparse Coding (EB-SSC) in which the hypothesized class label introduces a learned linear bias into the...
متن کاملLinear Subspace Learning based on a Learned Discriminative Dictionary for Sparse Coding
Learning linear subspaces for high-dimensional data is an important task in pattern recognition. A modern approach for linear subspace learning decomposes every training image into a more discriminative part (MDP) and a less discriminative part (LDP) via sparse coding before learning the projection matrix. In this paper, we present a new linear subspace learning algorithm through discriminative...
