The document describes a project using one-class support vector machines to detect inflight engine shutdown abnormalities. The team analyzed flight data containing 200 variables from 35,000 flights provided by NASA, selecting 14 variables. They tested a two-class SVM approach but found it did not perform well with abundant normal data. Therefore, they used a one-class SVM for novelty detection, which trains only on normal data. Their best model used a Laplace kernel, 800 normal training samples, and hyperparameters tuned for high accuracy on both normal and abnormal test flights.
