    Abstract: An explainer system includes a system-monitor machine learning model trained to predict states of a monitored system, a perturbator applying predetermined perturbations to original sample data collected from the monitored system to produce perturbed sample data. The system is configured to input the perturbed sample data to the prediction system. The explainer comprises a tester that receives model output from the prediction system, the model output comprising original model output produced by the system-monitor machine learning model based on the original sample data and deviated model output produced by the system-monitor machine learning model based on the perturbed sample data, the deviated model output comprising deviations from the original model output, the deviations resulting from the applied perturbations. An extractor receives data defining the perturbations and the resulting deviations and extracts therefrom important features for explaining the model output.

    Abstract: A method for generating a process model modeling a manual mode procedure instance of a plant process includes providing log events of operational actions; selecting related sequences of manual mode operational actions from the log events; filtering the related sequences according to an individual plant section; identifying a sequential order from the filtered related sequences; determining statistical properties of values of related process variables and/or statistical properties of values of related set point changes to each sequential ordered manual mode operational action from the filtered related sequences; generating the process model of the manual mode procedure instance by arranging related manual mode operational actions with the sequential order of each operational action assigned with the statistical properties of the values of related process variables and/or assigned with the statistical properties of the values of the related set point changes.
