MCSANet: Cross-Modal Semantic Alignment in Multi-Attribute Learning for Zero-Shot Bearing Fault Diagnosis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Zero-shot fault diagnosis (ZSFD) faces significant challenges in aligning time-series signal features and contextual semantic information. Direct projection from feature space to semantic space may suffer from domain bias, while mutual projection approaches require complex tradeoffs among multiple objective functions. This article proposes a multiattribute cross-modal semantic alignment network (MCSANet) for ZSFD. An enhanced feature extractor incorporating a conditional fault severity encoding mechanism is employed to extract discriminative fault features across multiple attributes. The time-series features, and contextual semantic information are then aligned using a novel cross-modal embedding approach, eliminating the need for complex tradeoffs among multiple objective functions. The proposed method was validated on both self-designed and open-source bearing experiments. Experimental results demonstrate that MCSANet achieves robust diagnosis performance even under nonstationary operational conditions and limited distributional diversity in the training phase. Comparative experiments confirm that MCSANet outperforms current state-of-the-art approaches.

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; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
