Failure diagnosis using deep belief learning based health state classification

Fault diagnosis of rotating machinery based on multiple ANFIS combination with GAs

Deep learning (DL) is a new machine learning (ML) methodology that has found successful implementations in many application domains. However, its usage in communications systems has not been well explored. This paper investigates the use of the DL in modulation classification, which is a major task in many communications systems. The DL relies on a massive amount of data and, for research and applications, this can be easily available in communications systems. Furthermore, unlike the ML, the DL has the advantage of not requiring manual feature selections, which significantly reduces the task complexity in modulation classification. In this paper, we use two convolutional neural network (CNN)-based DL models, AlexNet and GoogLeNet. Specifically, we develop several methods to represent modulated signals in data formats with gridlike topologies for the CNN. The impacts of representation on classification performance are also analyzed. In addition, comparisons with traditional cumulant and ML-based algorithms are presented. Experimental results demonstrate the significant performance advantage and application feasibility of the DL-based approach for modulation classification.

Modulation Classification Based on Signal Constellation Diagrams and Deep Learning

This paper presents a new approach to intelligent fault diagnosis based on statistics analysis, an improved distance evaluation technique and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). The approach consists of three stages. First, different features, including time-domain statistical characteristics, frequency-domain statistical characteristics and empirical mode decomposition (EMD) energy entropies, are extracted to acquire more fault characteristic information. Second, an improved distance evaluation technique is proposed, and with it, the most superior features are selected from the original feature set. Finally, the most superior features are fed into ANFIS to identify different abnormal cases. The proposed approach is applied to fault diagnosis of rolling element bearings, and testing results show that the proposed approach can reliably recognise different fault categories and severities. Moreover, the effectiveness of the proposed feature selection method is also demonstrated by the testing results.
