Aeroengine, served by gas turbine, is a highly sophisticated system. It is a hard task to analyze the location and cause of gas-path faults by computational-fluid-dynamics software or thermodynamic functions. Thus, artificial intelligence technologies rather than traditional thermodynamics methods are widely used to tackle this problem. Among them, methods based on neural networks, such as CNN and BPNN, cannot only obtain high classification accuracy but also favorably adapt to aeroengine data of various specifications. CNN has superior ability to extract and learn the attributes hiding in properties, whereas BPNN can keep eyesight on fitting the real distribution of original sample data. Inspired by them, this paper proposes a multimodal method that integrates the classification ability of these two excellent models, so that complementary information can be identified to improve the accuracy of diagnosis results. Experiments on several UCR time series datasets and aeroengine fault datasets show that the proposed model has more promising and robust performance compared to the typical and the state-of-the-art methods.
Time series classification (TSC) task is one of the most significant topics in data mining. Among all methods for this issue, the deep-learning-based shows superior performance for its good adaption to raw series data and automatic extraction of features. However, rare eyes are kept on composing ensembles of these superior individual classifiers to achieve further breakthroughs. The existing deep learning ensembles NNE did a heavy work of combining 60 individuals but did not maximize the deserving improvement, since it merely pays attention to the diversity of individuals but ignores their accuracy. In this paper, we propose to construct an ensemble of Full Convolutional Neural Networks (FCN) by Random Subspace Method (RSM), named RSM-FCN. FCN is a simple but outstanding individual classifier and RSM is suitable for high dimensional data such as time series, but there are few instances. Thus, the combination of these strengths, RSM-FCN provides a highly cost-effective approach to yield promising results. Experiments on the UCR dataset demonstrate the effectiveness and reasonability of the proposed method.
