Uncertainty-Guided Label Rebalancing for CPS Safety Monitoring

arXiv:2603.25670v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Safety monitoring is essential for Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs). However, unsafe events are rare in real-world CPS operations, creating an extreme class imbalance that degrades safety predictors. Standard rebalancing techniques perform poorly on time-series CPS telemetry, either generating unrealistic synthetic samples or overfitting on the minority class. Meanwhile, behavioral uncertainty in CPS operations, defined as the degree of doubt or uncertainty in CPS decisions , is often correlated with safety outcomes but unexplored in safety moni

Why this matters
Why now

The increasing complexity and integration of AI into Cyber-Physical Systems necessitate robust safety monitoring, pushing research towards more effective anomaly detection techniques that address inherent data challenges.

Why it’s important

Improved safety monitoring for CPS is crucial for preventing catastrophic failures in critical infrastructure, autonomous systems, and industrial operations, directly impacting economic stability and public safety.
