Leveraging systems' non-linearity to tackle the scarcity of data in the design of Intelligent Fault Diagnosis Systems

arXiv:2606.20323v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deep Transfer Learning (DTL) allows for the efficient building of Intelligent Fault Diagnosis Systems (IFDS). On the other hand, DTL methods still heavily rely on large amounts of labelled data. Obtaining such an amount of data can be challenging when dealing with machines or structures faults. This document proposes a novel approach to the design of vibration-based IFDS using DTL in condition of strong data scarcity. A periodic multi-excitation level procedure leveraging intrinsic non-linearities of real-world systems is used to produce images t
The increasing complexity and autonomy of systems necessitates robust fault diagnosis, while the challenges of data scarcity in specialized domains remain a critical barrier for AI adoption.
This development addresses a fundamental limitation in applying advanced AI techniques to real-world industrial and critical infrastructure, where data collection is often difficult or expensive.
The ability to develop Intelligent Fault Diagnosis Systems with limited data using intrinsic system non-linearities could significantly broaden AI's application in high-stakes environments.
