Exploring the Relationship between Preprocessing and Hyperparameter Tuning for Vibration-Based Machine Fault Diagnosis Using CNNs
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This paper demonstrates the differences between popular transformation-based input representations for vibration-based machine fault diagnosis. This paper highlights the dependency of different input representations on hyperparameter selection with the results of training different configurations of classical convolutional neural networks (CNNs) with three common benchmarking datasets. Raw temporal measurement, Fourier spectrum, envelope spectrum, and spectrogram input types are individually used to train CNNs. Many configurations of CNNs are trained, with variable input sizes, convolutional kernel sizes and stride. The results show that each input type favors different combinations of hyperparameters, and that each of the datasets studied yield different performance characteristics. The input sizes are found to be the most significant determiner of whether overfitting will occur. It is demonstrated that CNNs trained with spectrograms are less dependent on hyperparameter optimization over all three datasets. This paper demonstrates the wide range of performance achieved by CNNs when preprocessing method and hyperparameters are varied as well as their complex interaction, providing researchers with useful background information and a starting place for further optimization.

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.
