The present invention discloses a method for causal tracing of heterogeneous
time series data faults, which converts discrete variables into latent continuous variables with higher information
granularity through context-adaptive excitation
Gaussian kernel embedding, thereby realizing causal discovery in a unified continuous space; in the potential continuity
recovery stage, the guiding information of continuous variables is introduced by designing prediction tasks, and the parameters of context-adaptive excitation
Gaussian kernel embedding are adjusted in a self-supervisory manner to enhance its ability to restore potential continuity, and the reversibility of the
recovery process is ensured through a reconstruction mechanism; in the causal
structure learning stage, key causal relationships are screened through sparsity regularization constraints, and an overall causal graph is constructed to provide support for
fault analysis. The present invention can accurately determine the
time series causal relationship in the heterogeneous variable
scenario, provide important and reliable information for tracing the
root cause of process failures, and help accurately diagnose the source of the failure, thereby effectively ensuring the safety of actual production.
