Effective non-intrusive load monitoring of buildings based on a novel multi-descriptor fusion with dimensionality reduction حسب Yassine Himeur (14158821)

"…This paper presents an efficient non-intrusive load monitoring framework that consists of the following main components: (i) a novel fusion of multiple time-domain features is proposed to extract appliance fingerprints; (ii) a dimensionality reduction scheme is introduced to be applied to the fused time-domain features, which relies on fuzzy-neighbors preserving analysis based QR-decomposition. …"
