“…Among deep learning artificial neural networks, CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) is one of the effective algorithms in representing and extracting spatial patterns. Because of the efficiency and high accuracy in image classification, the CNN algorithm is widely used in plant disease diagnosis [ 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 ] and medical fields [ 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 ], as well as fault diagnosis of mechanical systems [ 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 ]. Typically, bearings are the biggest cause of motor failures, so plenty of CNN-based fault diagnosis studies have been conducted for monitoring the bearing condition [ 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 ].…”
