Previous domain adaptation approaches generally assume identical label spaces in the source and target domains, however, such an assumption may be no longer legitimate in a more realistic situation that requires adaptation from a larger and more diverse source domain to a smaller target domain with less number of fault classes. To address the above deficiencies, we propose a partial transfer fault diagnosis model based on a weighted subdomain adaptation network (WSAN) in this paper. Our method pays more attention to the local data distribution while aligning the global distribution. An auxiliary classifier is introduced to obtain the class-level weights of the source samples, so the network can avoid negative transfer caused by unique fault classes in the source domain. Furthermore, a weighted local maximum mean discrepancy (WLMMD) is proposed to capture the fine-grained transferable information and obtain sample-level weights. Finally, relevant distributions of domain-specific layer activations across different domains are aligned. Experimental results show that our method could assign appropriate weights to each source sample and realize efficient partial transfer fault diagnosis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e23040424","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,1]],"date-time":"2021-04-01T10:44:01Z","timestamp":1617273841000},"page":"424","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["A Weighted Subdomain Adaptation Network for Partial Transfer Fault Diagnosis of Rotating Machinery"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8207-1045","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sixiang","family":"Jia","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Mechanical and Electronic Engineering, Shandong University of Science and Technology, Qingdao 266590, China"}]},{"given":"Jinrui","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Mechanical and Electronic Engineering, Shandong University of Science and Technology, Qingdao 266590, China"}]},{"given":"Xiao","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Mechanical and Electronic Engineering, Shandong University of Science and Technology, Qingdao 266590, China"}]},{"given":"Baokun","family":"Han","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Mechanical and Electronic Engineering, Shandong University of Science and Technology, Qingdao 266590, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"327","DOI":"10.1016\/j.neucom.2018.06.078","article-title":"A survey on deep learning based bearing fault diagnosis","volume":"335","author":"Hoang","year":"2019","journal-title":"Neurocomputing"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"295","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ymssp.2016.12.040","article-title":"A fault diagnosis scheme for planetary gearboxes using modified multi-scale symbolic dynamic entropy and mRMR feature selection","volume":"91","author":"Li","year":"2017","journal-title":"Mech.
