Advanced Industrial Fault Detection: A Comparative Analysis of Ultrasonic Signal Processing and Ensemble Machine Learning Techniques
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Modern condition monitoring and industrial fault prediction have advanced to include intelligent techniques, aiming to improve reliability, productivity, and safety. The integration of ultrasonic signal processing with various machine learning (ML) models can significantly enhance the efficiency of industrial fault diagnosis. In this paper, ultrasonic data are analyzed and applied to ensemble ML algorithms. Four methods for reducing dimensionality are employed to illustrate differences among acoustic faults. Different features in the time domain are extracted, and predictive ensemble models including a gradient boosting classifier (GB), stacking classifier (Stacking), voting classifier (Voting), Adaboost, Logit boost (Logit), and bagging classifier (Bagging) are implemented. To assess the model’s performance on new data during experiments, k-fold cross-validation (CV) was employed. Based on the designed workflow, GB demonstrated the highest performance, with less variation over 5 cross-folds. Finally, the real-time capability of the model was evaluated by deployment on an ARM Cortex-M4F microcontroller (MCU).

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 teacher head, not a consensus.
