Abstract
En 中文
Energy disaggregation, or Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring (NILM), is a technique that predicts the consumption levels of individual appliances from only the main signal in the building. Various methods have been proposed to solve this problem, including sparse coding (SC), which offers great advantages due to its ability to capture complex patterns in data. However, a challenging aspect of NILM is that data containing appliance-level information is scarce. Moreover, the houses that the models are tested on might be from a different population than the training data, thus resulting in a domain shift. Therefore, we need to develop approaches that are adapted to training data scarcity through the use of transfer learning (TL). In this paper, we test several TL approaches on SC models with the aim of discriminative energy disaggregation (DD). We propose four TL SC models: Transfer SC+DD, SC source, DD target, Transfer Deep SC and Transfer Variational SC. We compare these models with 4 models that do not apply domain adaptation. We show that TL-based models achieve similar and sometimes better results than the regular models. We also show that further training on only the aggregate signal of some target domain houses improves the performance of a SC model trained only on the source.
