A Semi-supervised Temporal Convolutional Network with Residual Denoising and Additive Self-attention Mechanism for Bearing and Turbofan Engine RUL Prediction
摘要
The accurate remaining useful life (RUL) prediction is crucial for predictive maintenance of mechanical equipment. Traditional deep learning models are difficult to extract deep spatio-temporal degradation features in the case of noise interference and limited annotated data.
MethodsTo address this problem, we propose a novel semi-supervised residual denoising temporal convolutional additive self-attention network (RD-TCN-ASAM). In terms of unsupervised, we introduced a residual denoising (RD) module to learn the differences between noise and original data, extracting clean data from noisy datasets. For supervised learning, we designed an additive self-attention mechanism (ASAM) for modeling long sequence data, which is integrated into a temporal convolutional network (TCN) to form the TCN-ASAM architecture. The core advantage of TCN-ASAM is to capture the deep global degradation features and strengthen the dependence between sequence features to improve model performance.
ResultsThe RD-TCN-ASAM adopts a two-phase semi-supervision process to significantly improve the accuracy of RUL prediction by identifying the trend of spatio-temporal degradation in data.
ConclusionComparative experiments on bearing and turbofan engine datasets with the state-of-the-art methods demonstrate that the proposed method excels in extracting spatio-temporal degradation features and predicting RUL under complex operating conditions and noise interference.
