Abstract

The traditional deep learning-based bearing fault diagnosis approaches assume that the training and test data follow the same distribution. This assumption, however, is not always true for the bearing data collected in practical scenarios, leading to a significant decline in fault diagnosis performance. In order to satisfy this assumption, the transfer learning concept is introduced in deep learning by transferring the knowledge learned from other data or models. Due to the excellent capability of feature learning and domain transfer, deep transfer learning methods have gained widespread attention in bearing fault diagnosis in recent years. This review presents a comprehensive review of the development of deep transfer learning-based bearing fault diagnosis approaches since 2016. In this review, a novel taxonomy of deep transfer learning-based bearing fault diagnosis methods is proposed from the perspective of target domain data properties divided by labels, machines, and faults. By covering the whole life cycle of deep transfer learning-based fault diagnosis and discussing the research challenges and opportunities, this review provides a systematic guideline for researchers and practitioners to efficiently identify suitable deep transfer learning models based on the actual problems encountered in bearing fault diagnosis.
