Abstract
Data distribution shift usually deteriorates the performance of traditional supervised learning-based fault diagnosis models. Such issue can be well addressed by domain generalization fault diagnosis methods even if the test data are unavailable in training stage. However, most of these methods are designed and validated only for a single device, and also require the domain labels being provided, which hampers their further application. Therefore, this paper focuses a more realistic scenario, where the source training set is a mixture of data from multiple operation conditions and devices with domain information unavailable. First, a causal analysis is made for the task of domain generalization fault diagnosis, and a structural causal model (SCM) that describes the data generation process is constructed based on the relationships among different variables. A new learning rule for domain generalization, named object-conditional domain invariant (Obj-DI) rule, is also elicited. Then, to achieve domain generalization fault diagnosis, a three-stage based method named LOODG is proposed. Potential domains are mined and samples are given domain labels in latent domain discovery stage. Samples belonging to same object but different domains are explored in object discovery stage. In Obj-DI based causal feature learning stage, generalizable causal features are learned to finally obtain a generalized model. Experiments are conducted on tasks designed from three datasets, and the results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method.
