Robust Prototypical Networks for Few-Shot Sensor Fault Diagnosis

The paper introduces Multi-Episode Prototypical Networks (MEPN), a variant of prototypical networks that aggregates class prototypes from multiple disjoint support episodes to reduce prototype variance in few-shot sensor fault diagnosis. MEPN is evaluated on the DeFACTO sensor dataset with synthetic fault injections, achieving significantly higher one-shot accuracy than single-episode baselines while matching ProtoNet performance under a 10-sample support budget. The approach demonstrates that prototype accumulation improves stability without altering the encoder architecture.

HiFiNet: Hierarchical Fault Identification in Wireless Sensor Networks via Edge-Based Classification and Graph Aggregation

HiFiNet is a hierarchical fault identification framework for Wireless Sensor Networks that uses edge-based LSTM stacked autoencoders for initial temporal feature extraction and a Graph Attention Network to aggregate neighboring node information for refined classification. The approach captures both local temporal patterns and network-wide spatial dependencies, leading to higher accuracy, F1-score, and precision compared to existing methods. Experiments on synthetic datasets derived from the Intel Lab Dataset and NASA's MERRA-2 reanalysis data demonstrate HiFiNet’s robustness and its ability to balance diagnostic performance with energy efficiency.

Evaluating deep learning models for fault diagnosis of a rotating machinery with epistemic and aleatoric uncertainty

arXiv:2412. 18980v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Uncertainty-aware deep learning (DL) models recently gained attention in fault diagnosis as a way to promote the reliable detection of faults when out-of-distribution (OOD) data arise from unseen faults (epistemic uncertainty) or the presence of noise (aleatoric uncertainty).

Two kinds of robustness are not the same: disentangling fault tolerance and low-SNR robustness in multi-domain event detection on real data

Reliable event detection underpins induced-seismicity monitoring for Carbon dioxide Capture and Storage (CCS) and geothermal operations, distributed acoustic sensing (DAS), and industrial condition monitoring. In each setting a detector must stay reliable both when sensors fail and when the signal is buried in noise.

Reliable Virtual Sensing: A Multi-Domain Benchmark for Robustness Under Sensor Failures

The paper introduces MuViS-C, a multi‑domain benchmark that evaluates the robustness of learning‑based virtual sensing models against ten common sensor failure modes, ranging from subtle drifts to catastrophic dropouts. It assesses models using average error, relative degradation, and worst‑case fragility across nine datasets from six domains, comparing six architectures (gradient‑boosted trees, convolution, recurrence, attention, and MLP‑mixing). The study finds that all models degrade under corruption, gradient‑boosted trees are most robust, and targeted robustification can improve attention models at the cost of nominal performance.

Leakage-Robust Evaluation and Data-Scale Sensitivity of Attention-Enhanced Multi-Task Learning for Joint Fault Diagnosis and Remaining Useful Life Estimation

arXiv:2607. 16493v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-task deep learning models that jointly perform fault classification and remaining useful life (RUL) regression are increasingly used in predictive maintenance, yet reported performance can be strongly affected by how sliding-window sequences are split into training and test sets.
