  • VGAN: generalizing MSE GAN and WGAN-GP for robot fault diagnosis
    Publication . Pu, Ziqiang; Cabrera, Diego; Li, Chuan; Valente de Oliveira, JOSÉ
    Generative adversarial networks (GANs) have shown their potential for data generation. However, this type of generative model often suffers from oscillating training processes and mode collapse, among other issues. To mitigate these, this work proposes a generalization of both mean square error (mse) GAN and Wasserstein GAN (WGAN) with gradient penalty, referred to as VGAN. Within the framework of conditional WGAN with gradient penalty, VGAN resorts to the Vapnik V-matrix-based criterion that generalizes mse. Also, a novel early stopping-like strategy is proposed that keeps track during training of the most suitable model. A comprehensive set of experiments on a fault-diagnosis task for an industrial robot where the generative model is used as a data augmentation tool for dealing with imbalance datasets is presented. The statistical analysis of the results shows that the proposed model outperforms nine other models, including vanilla GAN, conditional WGAN with and without conventional regularization, and synthetic minority oversampling technique, a classic data augmentation technique.
  • A one-class generative adversarial detection framework for multifunctional fault diagnoses
    Publication . Pu, Ziqiang; Cabrera, Diego; Bai, Yun; Li, Chuan
    In this article, fault diagnosis is of great significance for system health maintenance. For real applications, diagnosis accuracy suffers from unbalanced data patterns, where normal data are usually abundant than anomaly ones, leading to tremendous diagnosis obstacles. Therefore, it is challenging to use only normal data for fault diagnosis under this imbalanced condition. In addition, a single fault diagnosis model can only conduct one fault diagnosis task in most of cases. Accordingly, a one-class generative adversarial detection (OCGAD) framework based on semisupervised learning is proposed to learn one-class latent knowledge for dealing with multiple semisupervised fault diagnosis tasks, i.e., fault detection using only normal knowledge learning, novelty detection from unknown conditional data, and fault classification with unlabeled data. A bi-directional generative adversarial network (Bi-GAN) is first trained with only normal data. A one-class support vector machine is then established using features exacted by Bi-GAN from signals acquired from an attitude sensor for multifunctional fault detection. The presented OCGAD model is validated using an industrial robot with experiments of three fault detection tasks. The results demonstrate that the present model has good performance for dealing with multiple semisupervised diagnosis problems.
