Pseudo-Label-Guided Dual-Supervised Alignment for Bearing Fault Diagnosis
The inconsistency in bearing data distributions under diverse conditions often affects the representations of the faulty data and leads to indistinct decision boundaries and even negative transfer resulted from overlapping class distributions, greatly limiting the accuracy of the diagnosis model. To cope with the challenge, a pseudo-label-guided dual-supervised alignment (PDSA) method is developed for bearing fault diagnosis across diverse operating scenarios in this paper. To address the fixed alignment strategy issue, an adaptive distribution alignment layer is incorporated to ResNet18 to achieve dynamic data distribution alignment under varying condition, To enhance classification performances, a dual-supervised mechanism, comprising shallow-layer supervised contrastive learning is introduced through target domain pseudo-labels in target domain and deep-layer regularization class consistency. Experiments on two publicly available bearing datasets demonstrated this model realizes refined class-level alignment, strengthens fault states representation, and shows notable superiority in both accuracy and robustness.
