“…With the big data age arriving, deep learning technology has achieved excellent results in most mechanical fault diagnosis. Common fault diagnosis methods use the technology of signal processing to extract features in frequency-domain signal, time-domain signal, and time–frequency-domain signal, such as, time domain statistical analysis (Yan and Jia, 2018), Fourier spectrum analysis (Feng et al, 2018), wavelet transform (Wang et al, 2018), feature drop dimension (Yuan et al, 2017), etc. These signal processing methods need to remove useless and unimportant information during feature extraction and principal component analysis (PCA) (Gu et al, 2018), and then some of intelligent classifiers, including support vector machine (SVM) (Santos et al, 2015), multi-layer perceptron neural network (MLP) (Jedliski and Jonak, 2015), k-nearest neighbor (Guo et al, 2018), deep neural network (DNN) (Duong and Kim, 2018), and other classifiers, are used for auxiliary diagnosis.…”
