Domain adaptation-based models for fault classification under variable working conditions have become a research focus in recent years. Previous domain adaptation approaches generally assume identical label spaces in the source and target domains, however, such an assumption may be no longer legitimate in a more realistic situation that requires adaptation from a larger and more diverse source domain to a smaller target domain with less number of fault classes. To address the above deficiencies, we propose a partial transfer fault diagnosis model based on a weighted subdomain adaptation network (WSAN) in this paper. Our method pays more attention to the local data distribution while aligning the global distribution. An auxiliary classifier is introduced to obtain the class-level weights of the source samples, so the network can avoid negative transfer caused by unique fault classes in the source domain. Furthermore, a weighted local maximum mean discrepancy (WLMMD) is proposed to capture the fine-grained transferable information and obtain sample-level weights. Finally, relevant distributions of domain-specific layer activations across different domains are aligned. Experimental results show that our method could assign appropriate weights to each source sample and realize efficient partial transfer fault diagnosis.

WiFi-based Device-free Passive (DfP) indoor localization systems liberate their users from carrying dedicated sensors or smartphones, and thus provide a non-intrusive and pleasant experience. Although existing fingerprint-based systems achieve sub-meter-level localization accuracy by training location classifiers/regressors on WiFi signal fingerprints, they are usually vulnerable to small variations in an environment. A daily change, e.g., displacement of a chair, may cause a big inconsistency between the recorded fingerprints and the real-time signals, leading to significant localization errors. In this paper, we introduce a Domain Adaptation WiFi (DAFI) localization approach to address the problem. DAFI formulates this fingerprint inconsistency issue as a domain adaptation problem, where the original environment is the source domain and the changed environment is the target domain. Directly applying existing domain adaptation methods to our specific problem is challenging, since it is generally hard to distinguish the variations in the different WiFi domains (i.e., signal changes caused by different environmental variations). DAFI embraces the following techniques to tackle this challenge. 1) DAFI aligns both marginal and conditional distributions of features in different domains. 2) Inside the target domain, DAFI squeezes the marginal distribution of every class to be more concentrated at its center. 3) Between two domains, DAFI conducts fine-grained alignment by forcing every target-domain class to better align with its source-domain counterpart. By doing these, DAFI outperforms the state of the art by up to 14.2% in real-world experiments.

In current research works, a number of intelligent fault diagnosis methods have been proposed with the assistance of domain adaptation approach, which attempt to distinguish the health modes for target domain data using the diagnostic knowledge learned from source domain data. An important assumption for these methods is that the label information for the source domain data should be known in advance. However, the high-quality condition monitoring data with sufficient label information is difficult to be acquired in the actual field, which can greatly hinder the effectiveness of domain adaptation–based fault diagnosis methods. The simulation model of the rotating machine is an effective approach to provide an insight into the characteristics of the mechanical equipment, which can also easily carry the sufficient label information for the mechanical equipment under various operating conditions. In this study, a simulation data–driven domain adaptation approach is proposed for the intelligent fault diagnosis of mechanical equipment. The simulation data from a rotor-bearing system are used to build the source domain data set, and the diagnostic knowledge learned from the simulation data is used to realize the healthy mode identification of mechanical equipment in the actual field. The proposed domain adaption approach consists of two parts. The first part is to achieve the conditional distribution alignment between source domain data and target domain supervised data in an alternative way. The second part is to achieve the marginal distribution alignment between source domain data and target domain unsupervised data in an adversarial training process. The proposed domain adaptation method is evaluated on two case studies, the diagnostic results on two case studies indicate that the proposed domain adaptation method is capable of realizing the fault diagnosis of mechanical equipment using the diagnostic knowledge learned from simulation data.

Deep learning techniques have been widely used to achieve promising results for fault diagnosis. In many real-world fault diagnosis applications, labeled training data (source domain) and unlabeled test data (target domain) have different distributions due to the frequent changes of working conditions, leading to performance degradation. This study proposes an end-to-end unsupervised domain adaptation bearing fault diagnosis model that combines domain alignment and discriminative feature learning on the basis of a 1D convolutional neural network. Joint training with classification loss, center-based discriminative loss, and correlation alignment loss between the two domains can adapt learned representations in the source domain for application to the target domain. Such joint training can also guarantee domain-invariant features with good intraclass compactness and interclass separability. Meanwhile, the extracted features can efficiently improve the cross-domain testing performance. Experimental results on the Case Western Reserve University bearing datasets confirm the superiority of the proposed method over many existing methods.

Effective fault diagnosis methods can ensure the safe and reliable operation of the machines. In recent years, deep learning technology has been applied to diagnose various mechanical equipment faults. However, in real industries, the data distribution under different working conditions is often different, which leads to serious degradation of diagnostic performance. In order to solve the issue, this study proposes a new deep convolutional domain adaptation network (DCDAN) method for bearing fault diagnosis. This method implements cross-domain fault diagnosis by using the labeled source domain data and the unlabeled target domain data as training data. In DCDAN, firstly, a convolutional neural network is applied to extract features of source domain data and target domain data. Then, the domain distribution discrepancy is reduced through minimizing probability distribution distance of multiple kernel maximum mean discrepancies (MK-MMD) and maximizing the domain recognition error of domain classifier. Finally, the source domain classification error is minimized. Extensive experiments on two rolling bearing datasets verify that the proposed method can implement accurate cross-domain fault diagnosis under different working conditions. The study may provide a promising tool for bearing fault diagnosis under different working conditions.

Abstract Deep learning-based mechanical fault diagnosis method has made great achievements. A high-performance neural network model requires sufficient labelled data for training to obtain accurate classification results. Desired results mainly depends on assumption that training and testing data are collected under the same working conditions, environment and operating conditions, where the data have the same probability distribution. However, in the practical scenarios, training data and the testing data follow different distributions to some degree, and the newly collected testing data are usually unlabeled. In order to solve the problems above, a model based on transfer learning and domain adaptation is proposed to achieve efficient fault diagnosis under different data distributions. The proposed framework adapts the features extracted by multiple dynamic convolutional layers, and creatively utilizes correlation alignment(CORAL) to perform a non-linear transformation to align the second-order statistics of the two distributions for fault diagnosis, which greatly improves the accuracy of fault classification in the target domain under unlabeled data. Finally, experimental verifications have been carried out among two different datasets.

Domain adaptation aims to solve the problems of lacking labels. Most existing works of domain adaptation mainly focus on aligning the feature distributions between the source and target domain. However, in the field of Natural Language Processing, some of the words in different domains convey different sentiment. Thus not all features of the source domain should be transferred, and it would cause negative transfer when aligning the untransferable features. To address this issue, we propose a Correlation Alignment with Attention mechanism for unsupervised Domain Adaptation (CAADA) model. In the model, an attention mechanism is introduced into the transfer process for domain adaptation, which can capture the positively transferable features in source and target domain. Moreover, the CORrelation ALignment (CORAL) loss is utilized to minimize the domain discrepancy by aligning the second-order statistics of the positively transferable features extracted by the attention mechanism. Extensive experiments on the Amazon review dataset demonstrate the effectiveness of CAADA method.

To identify rolling bearing faults under variable load conditions, a method named DISA-KNN is proposed in this paper, which is based on the strategy of feature extraction-domain adaptation-classification. To be specific, the time-domain and frequency-domain indicators are used for feature extraction. Discriminative and domain invariant subspace alignment (DISA) is used to minimize the data distributions’ discrepancies between the training data (source domain) and testing data (target domain). K-nearest neighbor (KNN) is applied to identify rolling bearing faults. DISA-KNN’s validation is proved by the experimental signal collected under different load conditions. The identification accuracies obtained by the DISA-KNN method are more than 90% on four datasets, including one dataset with 99.5% accuracy. The strength of the proposed method is further highlighted by comparisons with the other 8 methods. These results reveal that the proposed method is promising for the rolling bearing fault diagnosis in real rotating machinery.

In mechanical fault diagnosis, it is impossible to collect massive labeled samples with the same distribution in real industry. Transfer learning, a promising method, is usually used to address the critical problem. However, as the number of samples increases, the interdomain distribution discrepancy measurement of the existing method has a higher computational complexity, which may make the generalization ability of the method worse. To solve the problem, we propose a deep transfer learning method based on 1D-CNN for rolling bearing fault diagnosis. First, 1-dimension convolutional neural network (1D-CNN), as the basic framework, is used to extract features from vibration signal. The CORrelation ALignment (CORAL) is employed to minimize marginal distribution discrepancy between the source domain and target domain. Then, the cross-entropy loss function and Adam optimizer are used to minimize the classification errors and the second-order statistics of feature distance between the source domain and target domain, respectively. Finally, based on the bearing datasets of Case Western Reserve University and Jiangnan University, seven transfer fault diagnosis comparison experiments are carried out. The results show that our method has better performance.

Domain adaptation (DA) has achieved a resounding success to learn a good classifier by leveraging labeled data from a source domain to adapt to an unlabeled target domain. However, in a general setting when the target domain contains classes that are never observed in the source domain, namely in Open Set Domain Adaptation (OSDA), existing DA methods failed to work because of the interference of the extra unknown classes. This is a much more challenging problem, since it can easily result in negative transfer due to the mismatch between the unknown and known classes. Existing researches are susceptible to misclassification when target domain unknown samples in the feature space distributed near the decision boundary learned from the labeled source domain. To overcome this, we propose Joint Partial Optimal Transport (JPOT), fully utilizing information of not only the labeled source domain but also the discriminative representation of unknown class in the target domain. The proposed joint discriminative prototypical compactness loss can not only achieve intra-class compactness and inter-class separability, but also estimate the mean and variance of the unknown class through backpropagation, which remains intractable for previous methods due to the blindness about the structure of the unknown classes. To our best knowledge, this is the first optimal transport model for OSDA. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our proposed model can significantly boost the performance of open set domain adaptation on standard DA datasets.

Deep sleep staging networks have reached top performance on large-scale datasets. However, these models perform poorer when training and testing on small sleep cohorts due to data inefficiency. Transferring well-trained models from large-scale datasets (source domain) to small sleep cohorts (target domain) is a promising solution but still remains challenging due to the domain-shift issue. In this work, an unsupervised domain adaptation approach, domain statistics alignment (DSA), is developed to bridge the gap between the data distribution of source and target domains. DSA adapts the source models on the target domain by modulating the domain-specific statistics of deep features stored in the Batch Normalization (BN) layers. Furthermore, we have extended DSA by introducing cross-domain statistics in each BN layer to perform DSA adaptively (AdaDSA). The proposed methods merely need the well-trained source model without access to the source data, which may be proprietary and inaccessible. DSA and AdaDSA are universally applicable to various deep sleep staging networks that have BN layers. We have validated the proposed methods by extensive experiments on two state-of-the-art deep sleep staging networks, DeepSleepNet+ and U-time. The performance was evaluated by conducting various transfer tasks on six sleep databases, including two large-scale databases, MASS and SHHS, as the source domain, four small sleep databases as the target domain. Thereinto, clinical sleep records acquired in Huashan Hospital, Shanghai, were used. The results show that both DSA and AdaDSA could significantly improve the performance of source models on target domains, providing novel insights into the domain generalization problem in sleep staging tasks.<br>
