Some embodiments are associated with a receipt, at a feature learning platform, of sensor data associated with normal operation of an industrial asset, the sensor data including values for a plurality of sensors over a period of time. The feature learning platform may extract a plurality of features via hierarchically deep learning, which may capture characteristics of normal operation of the industrial asset and provide the learned features to a classification modeling platform. The classification modeling platform may then create classification models utilizing the learned features, and the classification models may be executed to automatically identify a potential anomaly for an operating industrial asset.
