Abstract
Effective application of fault diagnosis models requires that new fault types can be recognized rapidly after they occur few times, even only one time. To this end, a self-adaptation graph attention network via meta-learning (SGANM) is proposed. Specifically, based on a collected large-scale labeled dataset containing abundant disjoint categories (i.e., any of the categories in the target diagnosis task is not contained), meta-learning is used to train a meta-learner across abundant randomly generated meta-tasks, and the meta-learner can rapidly generalize to the target fault diagnosis task containing only few labeled samples. To full exploitation of the relationships among the samples in the support set and query set of each meta-task, a self-adaptation graph attention network (SGAN) is designed to realize the meta-learner. The effective strategies including spatial-temporal graph-based node initial embedding, two-dimensional edge embedding, and multi-head masked attention mechanism-based embedding propagating make the proposed meta-learner have powerful meta-knowledge learning ability. Experiments are conducted on a benchmark dataset and a dataset collected from a practical experimental platform, and competitive performance has been achieved by the proposed SGANM compared to the other few-shot learning algorithms.
