In this method, the CNN is used to extract deep features from the time-series signal as an input, and then the BiLSTM network with a symmetric structure is constructed to learn the time-series information between the feature vectors. The attention mechanism is introduced to self-adaptively perceive the network weights associated with the classification results of the wear state and distribute the weights reasonably. Finally, the signal features of different weights are sent to a Softmax classifier to classify the tool wear state. In addition, a data acquisition experiment platform is developed with a high-precision CNC milling machine and an acceleration sensor to collect the vibration signals generated during tool processing in real time. The original data are directly fed into the depth neural network of the model for analysis, which avoids the complexity and limitations caused by a manual feature extraction. The experimental results show that, compared with other deep learning neural networks and traditional machine learning network models, the model can predict the tool wear state accurately in real time from original data collected by sensors, and the recognition accuracy and generalization have been improved to a certain extent.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym11101233","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,10,3]],"date-time":"2019-10-03T03:41:27Z","timestamp":1570074087000},"page":"1233","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":62,"title":["Research on a Real-Time Monitoring Method for the Wear State of a Tool Based on a Convolutional Bidirectional LSTM Model"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Qipeng","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Advanced Manufacturing Technology, Ministry of Education, Guizhou University, Guiyang 550025, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qingsheng","family":"Xie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Advanced Manufacturing Technology, Ministry of Education, Guizhou University, Guiyang 550025, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qingni","family":"Yuan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Advanced Manufacturing Technology, Ministry of Education, Guizhou University, Guiyang 550025, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Haisong","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Advanced Manufacturing Technology, Ministry of Education, Guizhou University, Guiyang 550025, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yiting","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Advanced Manufacturing Technology, Ministry of Education, Guizhou University, Guiyang 550025, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,10,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"94","DOI":"10.3901\/JME.2018.05.094","article-title":"Opportunities and Challenges of Machinery Intelligent Fault Diagnosis in Big Data Era","volume":"54","author":"Lei","year":"2018","journal-title":"J.
