Predicting Remaining Useful Life of Rolling Bearings Based on Deep Feature Representation and Transfer Learning
Bibliographic record
Abstract
For the data-driven remaining useful life (RUL) prediction for rolling bearings, the traditional machine learning-based methods generally provide insufficient feature representation and adaptive extraction. Although deep learning-based RUL prediction methods can solve these problems to some extent, they still do not yield satisfactory predictive results due to less degradation data and inconsistent data distribution among different bearings. To solve these problems, a new RUL prediction method based on deep feature representation and transfer learning is proposed in this paper. This method includes an off-line stage and an online stage. In the off-line stage, the Hilbert-Huang transform marginal spectra of the raw vibration signal of auxiliary bearings are first calculated as the input, and then contractive denoising autoencoder is introduced to extract deep features with good and stable fault representation. Second, by using the obtained deep features and Pearson's correlation coefficient, a new health condition assessment method is proposed to divide the whole life of each bearing into a normal state and a fast-degradation state. Finally, using the extracted deep features and their RUL values, an RUL prediction model for the fast-degradation state is trained by means of a least-square support vector machine. In the online stage, a kind of transfer learning algorithm, i.e., transfer component analysis, is introduced to sequentially adjust the features of target bearing from auxiliary bearings, and then the corresponding RUL is predicted using the corrected features. Results using the PHM Challenging 2012 data set show a significant performance improvement when using the proposed method in terms of predictive accuracy and numerical stability.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
