Abstract: Intelligent fault diagnosis can enhance the reliability of mechanical equipment. However, only a few labels are available in a large amount of fault data due to high labeling costs in practical engineering. The fault recognition capability of existing semi-supervised diagnosis methods is severely insufficient with limited labels, especially with extremely limited labels that only a single labeled sample available per fault type. To address this issue, a novel semi-supervised ensemble fault diagnosis framework termed ADAE-LFDM is proposed based on adversarial decoupled auto-encoder (ADAE) and low-dimensional feature distance metric (LFDM). Firstly, the locally selective combination in parallel outlier ensembles (LSCP) method is introduced to efficiently separate normal and fault samples. Subsequently, an ADAE with branching structure and latent space feature regularization strategy is proposed to decouple and capture the fault feature. Finally, a LFDM strategy that contains feature dimensionality reduction, and centroid-based metric is performed to achieve high-accuracy fault diagnosis. Experimental results based on two rotating machinery datasets have demonstrated that the proposed method achieves a diagnostic accuracy of over 97Â % when there is only a single labeled sample available per fault type, and an average diagnostic accuracy of 85Â % under cross-operating condition, showing the superiority compared to other methods.
