Factorized axis convolutional gated recurrent unit with dynamic adaptive pooling for remaining useful life prediction of rolling bearings

The paper presents a factorized-axis convolutional gated recurrent unit (GRU) with dynamic adaptive pooling (DAP) for predicting the remaining useful life (RUL) of rolling bearings from time‑frequency representations (TFRs). It introduces multiscale anisotropic convolution, a dual‑axis convolution block attention module, and Monte Carlo dropout for uncertainty estimation, addressing the directional structure challenges in TFRs. Experiments on two public bearing datasets show that this approach outperforms existing RUL prediction methods and that the factorized axis design and adaptive pooling contribute to lower mean errors.

FreqCondNorm: Towards Cross-domain Predictive Maintenance through a Frequency-Conditioned Transformer Foundation Model

The paper introduces FreqCondNorm, a Transformer-based architecture that adds a frequency-conditioned normalization layer to unify heterogeneous time-series data for predictive maintenance. The model is pretrained on five public datasets using masked auto‑encoding and contrastive learning, achieving 99.2% accuracy on CWRU and 82.1% zero‑shot accuracy on MFPT, showing strong transfer across sampling frequencies. However, it does not improve remaining useful life prediction, indicating a mismatch between pretraining and RUL objectives that requires further study.
