    "456432": "I just found the same thing and enter to discussions to post it. \nParticularly signals 228,229,230. All of them has target=1 (e.g. PD) and they are from same line (id_measurement=76), but I see 228 and 229 very suspicious, it did not like PD, it is more RPI. Especially 228 is very 'clean'.",
    "456022": "Below discussion might be helpful for your analysis of signals. \nhttps://www.kaggle.com/c/vsb-power-line-fault-detection/discussion/75771\n\nIn his paper, there are some descriptions about PD pattern, DSI and RPI.\nAttached figure is from the above discussion, and it shows the patterns of several signals.\nSome regions of signals with several peaks (pulses), which you highlighted, may not contain exact PD patterns. They could be some interferences like DSI, RPI, and in that cases, they may not have target value 1.",
