Few-Shot Learning Approaches for Fault Diagnosis Using Vibration Data: A Comprehensive Review
Fault detection and diagnosis play a crucial role in ensuring the reliability and safety of modern industrial systems. For safety and cost considerations, critical equipment and systems in industrial operations are typically not allowed to operate in severe fault states. Moreover, obtaining labeled samples for fault diagnosis often requires significant human effort. This results in limited labeled data for many application scenarios. Thus, the focus of attention has shifted towards learning from a small amount of data. Few-shot learning has emerged as a solution to this challenge, aiming to develop models that can effectively solve problems with only a few samples. This approach has gained significant traction in various fields, such as computer vision, natural language processing, audio and speech, reinforcement learning, robotics, and data analysis. Surprisingly, despite its wide applicability, there have been limited investigations or reviews on applying few-shot learning to the field of mechanical fault diagnosis. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive review of the relevant work on few-shot learning in mechanical fault diagnosis from 2018 to September 2023. By examining the existing research, we aimed to shed light on the potential of few-shot learning in this domain and offer valuable insights for future research directions
Comparison of different classification algorithms for fault detection and fault isolation in complex systems
Due to the lack of sufficient results seen in literature, feature extraction and classification methods of hydraulic systems appears to be somewhat challenging. This paper compares the performance of three classifiers (namely linear support vector machine (SVM), distance-weighted k-nearest neighbor (WKNN), and decision tree (DT) using data from optimized and non-optimized sensor set solutions. The algorithms are trained with known data and then tested with unknown data for different scenarios characterizing faults with different degrees of severity. This investigation is based solely on a data-driven approach and relies on data sets that are taken from experiments on the fuel system. The system that is used throughout this study is a typical fuel delivery system consisting of standard components such as a filter, pump, valve, nozzle, pipes, and two tanks. Running representative tests on a fuel system are problematic because of the time, cost, and reproduction constraints involved in capturing any significant degradation. Simulating significant degradation requires running over a considerable period; this cannot be reproduced quickly and is costly

State-of-the-art on research and applications of machine learning in the building life cycle
Fueled by big data, powerful and affordable computing resources, and advanced algorithms, machine learning has been explored and applied to buildings research for the past decades and has demonstrated its potential to enhance building performance. This study systematically surveyed how machine learning has been applied at different stages of building life cycle. By conducting a literature search on the Web of Knowledge platform, we found 9579 papers in this field and selected 153 papers for an in-depth review. The number of published papers is increasing year by year, with a focus on building design, operation, and control. However, no study was found using machine learning in building commissioning. There are successful pilot studies on fault detection and diagnosis of HVAC equipment and systems, load prediction, energy baseline estimate, load shape clustering, occupancy prediction, and learning occupant behaviors and energy use patterns. None of the existing studies were adopted broadly by the building industry, due to common challenges including (1) lack of large scale labeled data to train and validate the model, (2) lack of model transferability, which limits a model trained with one data-rich building to be used in another building with limited data, (3) lack of strong justification of costs and benefits of deploying machine learning, and (4) the performance might not be reliable and robust for the stated goals, as the method might work for some buildings but could not be generalized to others. Findings from the study can inform future machine learning research to improve occupant comfort, energy efficiency, demand flexibility, and resilience of buildings, as well as to inspire young researchers in the field to explore multidisciplinary approaches that integrate building science, computing science, data science, and social science
Modeling Fault Propagation Paths in Power Systems: A New Framework Based on Event SNP Systems With Neurotransmitter Concentration
To reveal fault propagation paths is one of the most critical studies for the analysis of
power system security; however, it is rather dif cult. This paper proposes a new framework for the fault
propagation path modeling method of power systems based on membrane computing.We rst model the fault
propagation paths by proposing the event spiking neural P systems (Ev-SNP systems) with neurotransmitter
concentration, which can intuitively reveal the fault propagation path due to the ability of its graphics models
and parallel knowledge reasoning. The neurotransmitter concentration is used to represent the probability
and gravity degree of fault propagation among synapses. Then, to reduce the dimension of the Ev-SNP
system and make them suitable for large-scale power systems, we propose a model reduction method
for the Ev-SNP system and devise its simpli ed model by constructing single-input and single-output
neurons, called reduction-SNP system (RSNP system). Moreover, we apply the RSNP system to the IEEE
14- and 118-bus systems to study their fault propagation paths. The proposed approach rst extends the
SNP systems to a large-scaled application in critical infrastructures from a single element to a system-wise
investigation as well as from the post-ante fault diagnosis to a new ex-ante fault propagation path prediction,
and the simulation results show a new success and promising approach to the engineering domain
Consistency Index-Based Sensor Fault Detection System for Nuclear Power Plant Emergency Situations Using an LSTM Network
A nuclear power plant (NPP) consists of an enormous number of components with complex interconnections. Various techniques to detect sensor errors have been developed to monitor the state of the sensors during normal NPP operation, but not for emergency situations. In an emergency situation with a reactor trip, all the plant parameters undergo drastic changes following the sudden decrease in core reactivity. In this paper, a machine learning model adopting a consistency index is suggested for sensor error detection during NPP emergency situations. The proposed consistency index refers to the soundness of the sensors based on their measurement accuracy. The application of consistency index labeling makes it possible to detect sensor error immediately and specify the particular sensor where the error occurred. From a compact nuclear simulator, selected plant parameters were extracted during typical emergency situations, and artificial sensor errors were injected into the raw data. The trained system successfully generated output that gave both sensor error states and error-free states
Domain Adaptive Transfer Learning for Fault Diagnosis
Thanks to digitization of industrial assets in fleets, the ambitious goal of
transferring fault diagnosis models fromone machine to the other has raised
great interest. Solving these domain adaptive transfer learning tasks has the
potential to save large efforts on manually labeling data and modifying models
for new machines in the same fleet. Although data-driven methods have shown
great potential in fault diagnosis applications, their ability to generalize on
new machines and new working conditions are limited because of their tendency
to overfit to the training set in reality. One promising solution to this
problem is to use domain adaptation techniques. It aims to improve model
performance on the target new machine. Inspired by its successful
implementation in computer vision, we introduced Domain-Adversarial Neural
Networks (DANN) to our context, along with two other popular methods existing
in previous fault diagnosis research. We then carefully justify the
applicability of these methods in realistic fault diagnosis settings, and offer
a unified experimental protocol for a fair comparison between domain adaptation
methods for fault diagnosis problems.Comment: Presented at 2019 Prognostics and System Health Management Conference
