The invention discloses a heterogeneous
time series data fault causal tracing method, which comprises the following steps of: converting discrete variables into hidden continuous variables with higher information
granularity through context adaptive excitation
Gaussian kernel embedding, and further realizing causal discovery in a unified continuous space; in the potential continuity
recovery stage, guiding information of continuous variables is introduced by designing a prediction task, parameters of context self-adaptive excitation
Gaussian kernel embedding are adjusted in a self-supervised mode, the potential continuity
recovery capacity is enhanced, and reversibility of the
recovery process is ensured through a reconstruction mechanism; in the causal
structure learning stage, key causal relationships are screened through
sparse regularization constraints, an overall causal graph is constructed, and support is provided for
fault analysis. According to the method, the
time sequence causal relationship can be accurately determined in a heterogeneous variable scene, important reliable information is provided for
root cause traceability of process faults, accurate diagnosis of fault sources is assisted, and therefore the safety of actual production is effectively guaranteed.
