A Novel Deep Parallel Time-series Relation Network for Fault Diagnosis
share
Considering the models that apply the contextual information of time-series data could improve the fault diagnosis performance, some neural network structures such as RNN, LSTM, and GRU were proposed to model the industrial process effectively. However, these models are restricted by their serial computation and hence cannot achieve high diagnostic efficiency. Also the parallel CNN is difficult to implement fault diagnosis in an efficient way because it requires larger convolution kernels or deep structure to achieve long-term feature extraction capabilities. Besides, BERT model applies absolute position embedding to introduce contextual information to the model, which would bring noise to the raw data and therefore cannot be applied to fault diagnosis directly. In order to address the above problems, a fault diagnosis model named deep parallel time-series relation network(DPTRN) has been proposed in this paper. There are mainly three advantages for DPTRN: (1) Our proposed time relationship unit is based on full multilayer perceptron(MLP) structure, therefore, DPTRN performs fault diagnosis in a parallel way and improves computing efficiency significantly. (2) By improving the absolute position embedding, our novel decoupling position embedding unit could be applied on the fault diagnosis directly and learn contextual information. (3) Our proposed DPTRN has obvious advantage in feature interpretability. Our model outperforms other methods on both TE and KDD-CUP99 datasets which confirms the effectiveness, efficiency and interpretability of the proposed DPTRN model.
