Unsupervised learning, high adaptability, no need for large amounts of labeled data

Suitable for unsupervised learning tasks, particularly when labeled data is limited, enabling effective feature extraction through dimensionality reduction.

Q-Transform and HOG feature extraction31

Strong feature engineering, model diversity, high interpretability

Ideal for applications requiring high-quality feature extraction and model selection, especially when model decision processes need to be explained.

Data generated from 3D simulation32

Enhanced synthetic data, benefits of deep learning

Appropriate for fault diagnosis tasks with limited labeled data, particularly when obtaining real-world data is challenging, by generating synthetic data through simulations.

Proposed

Capable of handling open-set problems, cross-domain fault diagnosis

Suitable for scenarios involving open-set problems, requiring cross-domain learning and fault detection, especially in complex environments.
