Lightweight Transformer Models for On-Device Fault Detection: A Benchmark Study on Resource-Constrained Deployment

On-device fault detection enables real-time diagnostics without cloud dependency, but deploying machine learning models on resource-constrained hardware demands careful tradeoffs between accuracy, latency, and model size. We present a benchmark comparing traditional ML methods (Random Forest, XGBoost, SVM, Logistic Regression) against lightweight transformer architectures (DistilBERT, TinyBERT-6L, TinyBERT-4L, MobileBERT) for binary fault detection across three public datasets: NASA C-MAPSS turbofan degradation, SECOM semiconductor manufacturing, and UCI AI4I 2020 predictive maintenance. We evaluate classification performance (F1-score, AUC), model size, and CPU inference latency, and further assess INT8 dynamic quantization and a two-stage adaptive inference pipeline. Our results reveal that on well-separated sensor data (C-MAPSS), lightweight transformers match traditional ML at 87.8% F1 but at 100x the model size and 9000x the latency. TinyBERT-4L emerges as the most deployment-friendly transformer at 55 MB and 18 ms CPU latency. INT8 quantization reduces size by 25% while preserving 86.9% F1. Our adaptive pipeline, routing 97.9% of predictions through a quantized triage model and only 2.1% to a larger expert, achieves 87.6% F1 at 19.5 ms average latency. On severely imbalanced datasets (SECOM, UCI-PM), both traditional and transformer methods struggle significantly, highlighting fundamental limitations of current approaches for extreme class imbalance in fault detection. All code is publicly available.

LLM-Enhanced Log Anomaly Detection: A Comprehensive Benchmark of Large Language Models for Automated System Diagnostics

System log anomaly detection is critical for maintaining the reliability of large-scale software systems, yet traditional methods struggle with the heterogeneous and evolving nature of modern log data. Recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) offer promising new approaches to log understanding, but a systematic comparison of LLM-based methods against established techniques remains lacking. In this paper, we present a comprehensive benchmark study evaluating both LLM-based and traditional approaches for log anomaly detection across four widely-used public datasets: HDFS, BGL, Thunderbird, and Spirit. We evaluate three categories of methods: (1) classical log parsers (Drain, Spell, AEL) combined with machine learning classifiers, (2) fine-tuned transformer models (BERT, RoBERTa), and (3) prompt-based LLM approaches (GPT-3.5, GPT-4, LLaMA-3) in zero-shot and few-shot settings. Our experiments reveal that while fine-tuned transformers achieve the highest F1-scores (0.96-0.99), prompt-based LLMs demonstrate remarkablezero-shot capabilities (F1: 0.82-0.91) without requiring any labeled training data -- a significant advantage for real-world deployment where labeled anomalies are scarce. We further analyze the cost-accuracy trade-offs, latency characteristics, and failure modes of each approach. Our findings provide actionable guidelines for practitioners choosing log anomaly detection methods based on their specific constraints regarding accuracy, latency, cost, and label availability. All code and experimental configurations are publicly available to facilitate reproducibility.

Auto Tuning of Hadoop and Spark parameters

Data of the order of terabytes, petabytes, or beyond is known as Big Data. This data cannot be processed using the traditional database software, and hence there comes the need for Big Data Platforms. By combining the capabilities and features of various big data applications and utilities, Big Data Platforms form a single solution. It is a platform that helps to develop, deploy and manage the big data environment. Hadoop and Spark are the two open-source Big Data Platforms provided by Apache. Both these platforms have many configurational parameters, which can have unforeseen effects on the execution time, accuracy, etc. Manual tuning of these parameters can be tiresome, and hence automatic ways should be needed to tune them. After studying and analyzing various previous works in automating the tuning of these parameters, this paper proposes two algorithms - Grid Search with Finer Tuning and Controlled Random Search. The performance indicator studied in this paper is Execution Time. These algorithms help to tune the parameters automatically. Experimental results have shown a reduction in execution time of about 70% and 50% for Hadoop and 81.19% and 77.77% for Spark by Grid Search with Finer Tuning and Controlled Random Search, respectively.
