Models trained with one system fail to identify other systems accurately because of domain shifts. To perform domain adaptation, numerous studies have been conducted in many fields and have successfully aligned different domains into one domain. The domain shift problem is caused by the difference of distributions between two domains, which is solved by reducing this difference. Source domain data are labeled and used for training the models to extract the features while the target domain data are unlabeled or partially labeled and only used for aligning. Bearings play important roles in rotating machines, so many artificial intelligent models have been developed to diagnose bearings. Bearing diagnosis has also faced a domain shift problem due to various operating conditions such as experimental environment, number of balls, degree of defects, and rotational speed. Cross-domain fault diagnosis has been successfully performed when the systems are the same but operating conditions are different. However, the results are poor when diagnosing different bearing systems because the characteristics of the signals such as specific frequencies depend on the specifications. In this paper, the pre-processing method was used for improving the diagnosis without prior knowledge such as fault frequencies. The signals were first transformed to a common pattern space before entering the models. To develop and to validate the proposed method for different domains, vibration signals measured from two ball-bearing systems (Case Western Reserve University datasets and Paderborn University datasets) were used. One dimensional CNN models were utilized for verification of the proposed method and the results of the models using raw datasets and pre-processed datasets were compared. Even though each of the ball-bearing systems have their own specifications, using the proposed method was very helpful for domain adaptation, and cross-domain fault diagnosis was performed with high accuracy.

In unsupervised domain adaptation, distributions of visual representations are mismatched across domains, which leads to the performance drop of a source model in the target domain. Therefore, distribution alignment methods have been proposed to explore cross-domain visual representations. However, most alignment methods have not considered the difference in distribution structures across domains, and the adaptation would subject to the insufficient aligned cross-domain representations. To avoid the misclassification/misidentification due to the difference in distribution structures, this paper proposes a novel unsupervised graph alignment method that aligns both data representations and distribution structures across the source and target domains. An adversarial network is developed for unsupervised graph alignment, which maps both source and target data to a feature space where data are distributed with unified structure criteria. Experimental results show that the graph-aligned visual representations achieve good performance on both crossdataset recognition and cross-modal re-identification.

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.

As the key component to transmit power and torque, the fault diagnosis of rotating machinery is crucial to guarantee the reliable operation of mechanical equipment. Regrettably, sample class imbalance is a common phenomenon in industrial applications, which causes large cross-domain distribution discrepancies for domain adaptation (DA) and results in performance degradation for most of the existing mechanical fault diagnosis approaches. To address this issue, a novel DA approach that simultaneously reduces the cross-domain distribution difference and the geometric difference is proposed, which is defined as MRMI. This work contains three parts to improve the sample class imbalance issue: (1) A novel distance metric method (MVD) is proposed and applied to improve the performance of marginal distribution adaptation. (2) Manifold regularization is combined with instance reweighting to simultaneously explore the intrinsic manifold structure and remove irrelevant source-domain samples adaptively. (3) The ℓ2-norm regularization is applied as the data preprocessing tool to improve the model generalization performance. The gear and rolling bearing datasets with class imbalanced samples are applied to validate the reliability of MRMI. According to the fault diagnosis results, MRMI can significantly outperform competitive approaches under the condition of sample class imbalance.

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.

Domain adaptation manages to learn a robust classifier for target domain, using the source domain, but they often follow different distributions. To bridge distribution shift between the two domains, most of previous works aim to align their feature distributions through feature transformation, of which optimal transport for domain adaptation has attract researchers’ interest, as it can exploit the local information of the two domains in the process of mapping the source instances to the target ones by minimizing Wasserstein distance between their feature distributions. However, it may weaken the feature discriminability of source domain, thus degrade domain adaptation performance. To address this problem, this paper proposes a two-stage feature-based adaptation approach, referred to as optimal transport with dimensionality reduction (OTDR). In the first stage, we apply the dimensionality reduction with intradomain variant maximization but source intraclass compactness minimization, to separate data samples as much as possible and enhance the feature discriminability of the source domain. In the second stage, we leverage optimal transport-based technique to preserve the local information of the two domains. Notably, the desirable properties in the first stage can mitigate the degradation of feature discriminability of the source domain in the second stage. Extensive experiments on several cross-domain image datasets validate that OTDR is superior to its competitors in classification accuracy.

Recently, deep learning methods are becomingincreasingly popular in the field of fault diagnosis and achieve great success. However, since the rotation speeds and load conditions of rotating machines are subject to change during operations, the distribution of labeled training dataset for intelligent fault diagnosis model is different from the distribution of unlabeled testing dataset, where domain shift occurs. The performance of the fault diagnosis may significantly degrade due to this domain shift problem. Unsupervised domain adaptation has been proposed to alleviate this problem by aligning the distribution between labeled source domain and unlabeled target domain. In this paper, we propose triplet loss guided adversarial domain adaptation method (TLADA) for bearing fault diagnosis by jointly aligning the data-level and class-level distribution. Data-level alignment is achieved using Wasserstein distance-based adversarial approach, and the discrepancy of distributions in feature space is further minimized at class level by the triplet loss. Unlike other center loss-based class-level alignment approaches, which hasto compute the class centers for each class and minimize the distance of same class center from different domain, the proposed TLADA method concatenates 2 mini-batches from source and target domain into a single mini-batch and imposes triplet loss to the whole mini-batch ignoring the domains. Therefore, the overhead of updating the class center is eliminated. The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated on CWRU dataset and Paderborn dataset through extensive transfer fault diagnosis experiments.

Most of the existing domain adaptation (DA) methods proposed in the context of remote sensing imagery assume the presence of the same land-cover classes in the source and target domains. Yet, this assumption is not always realistic in practice as the target domain may contain additional classes unknown to the source leading to the so-called open set DA. Under this challenging setting, the problem turns to reducing the distribution discrepancy between the shared classes in both domains besides the detection of the unknown class samples in the target domain. To deal with the openset problem, we propose an approach based on adversarial learning and pareto-based ranking. In particular, the method leverages the distribution discrepancy between the source and target domains using min-max entropy optimization. During the alignment process, it identifies candidate samples of the unknown class from the target domain through a pareto-based ranking scheme that uses ambiguity criteria based on entropy and the distance to source class prototype. Promising results using two cross-domain datasets that consist of very high resolution and extremely high resolution images, show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
