Cross-Modal Fusion Convolutional Neural Networks With Online Soft-Label Training Strategy for Mechanical Fault Diagnosis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Convolutional neural network (CNN)-based fault detection approaches based on multisource signals have attracted increasing interest from the research community and industrial practices, thanks to the powerful feature representation capability of CNN and the rapid development of sensor technology. Various strategies have been applied in existing CNN-based diagnostic models to learn features from 1-D real-valued multivariate data. However, the distribution gap and the intrinsic correlations among multisource mechanical signals during the learning process have been rarely considered, which may lead to suboptimal fault identification results. To tackle this issue, this article proposes a cross-modal fusion convolutional neural network (CMFCNN) for mechanical fault diagnosis, which performs modality-specific and cross-modal feature representation on multisource data. Specifically, CMFCNN adopts two parallel modality-specific networks and a cross-modal knowledge-sharing network to fully explore independent and shared features from the multisource mechanical signals. To achieve effective feature propagation and fusion, a cross-modal fusion module is introduced to integrate cross-modal features and pass the fused information to the next layer. Moreover, to alleviate overfitting and achieve a better diagnostic performance of the framework, an online soft-label training algorithm is adopted in the CMFCNN training phase. Extensive experimental results on the cylindrical rolling bearing dataset and the planetary gearbox dataset validate that the proposed CMFCNN outperforms seven state-of-the-art methods significantly, especially under strong noise conditions.

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.
