mRMR-DNN with Transfer Learning for IntelligentFault Diagnosis of Rotating Machines
share
In recent years, intelligent condition-based monitoring of rotary machinery systems has become a major research focus of machine fault diagnosis. In condition-based monitoring, it is challenging to form a large-scale well-annotated dataset due to the expense of data acquisition and costly annotation. Along with that, the generated data have a large number of redundant features which degraded the performance of the machine learning models. To overcome this, we have utilized the advantages of minimum redundancy maximum relevance (mRMR) and transfer learning with deep learning model. In this work, mRMR is combined with deep learning and deep transfer learning framework to improve the fault diagnostics performance in term of accuracy and computational complexity. The mRMR reduces the redundant information from data and increases the deep learning performance, whereas transfer learning, reduces a large amount of data dependency for training the model. In the proposed work, two frameworks, i.e., mRMR with deep learning and mRMR with deep transfer learning, have explored and validated on CWRU and IMS rolling element bearings datasets. The analysis shows that the proposed frameworks are able to obtain better diagnostic accuracy in comparison of existing methods and also able to handle the data with a large number of features more quickly.
