Aero-engine RUL prediction, crucial for flight safety and economic maintenance, has seen data-driven methods like LSTM and Transformer gain prominence. However, existing studies based on single-condition datasets struggle with the complex, varying conditions of real flights. This paper introduces a novel RUL prediction method combining causal association and dynamic weighting by large language models (LLMs). It decomposes the information entropy between operating conditions and sensor data into redundant, unique, and synergistic parts, supplements feature information via correlation analysis, and converts these into natural language for LLM-generated dynamic weights. An improved Transformer encoder captures dynamic degradation features, fusing with LLM weights through gated residual fusion. The training involves main model pre-training and joint fine-tuning with physical constraints and regularization. Experiments on C-MAPSS datasets show our method’s superiority, achieving RMSE of 17.19 and Score of 1642.64 on FD002, outperforming other methods.

摘要

Aero-engine RUL prediction, crucial for flight safety and economic maintenance, has seen data-driven methods like LSTM and Transformer gain prominence. However, existing studies based on single-condition datasets struggle with the complex, varying conditions of real flights. This paper introduces a novel RUL prediction method combining causal association and dynamic weighting by large language models (LLMs). It decomposes the information entropy between operating conditions and sensor data into redundant, unique, and synergistic parts, supplements feature information via correlation analysis, and converts these into natural language for LLM-generated dynamic weights. An improved Transformer encoder captures dynamic degradation features, fusing with LLM weights through gated residual fusion. The training involves main model pre-training and joint fine-tuning with physical constraints and regularization. Experiments on C-MAPSS datasets show our method’s superiority, achieving RMSE of 17.19 and Score of 1642.64 on FD002, outperforming other methods.
