The rapid development of intelligent algorithms has significantly expanded the range of algorithms available for Prognostics and Health Management (PHM). Selecting the appropriate algorithm for a specific task is crucial for effective PHM applications. Learning from past PHM cases is an effective way to automate algorithm recommendations, reducing reliance on expert experience. Human-AI collaboration provides new ideas for achieving this capability. However, in emerging fields or early-stage research, the limited number of cases—coupled with volatility and noise—often results in low recommendation accuracy and weak stability. To address this issue, we propose a multi-order random graph convolution network (MOR-GCN) within a case-learning paradigm. This method uses graphs to model and optimize case correlations, helping engineers narrow down algorithm choices to suitable candidates. We first develop a correlation modeling and optimization method based on a graph network, enhancing information aggregation between similar cases and reducing the impact of case noise on the recommendation model. Next, we design an ensemble recommender using MOR-GCN, which aggregates features of adjacent case nodes through a case correlation network graph (CCNG), further improving recommendation accuracy and stability through ensemble learning. Experimental results from a gearbox fault diagnosis case set demonstrate that the MOR-GCN model can automatically recommend fault diagnosis algorithms based on task attributes, achieving an average accuracy of 77.20 % for single recommendations and 89.90 % for fuzzy recommendations. This framework showcases the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) to assist human decision-making in PHM, minimizing the dependency on expert knowledge during the PHM design stage.

The application of object detection technology in the field of construction safety contributes significantly to on-site safety management and has already shown considerable progress. However, current research primarily focuses on detecting pre-defined classes annotated within single datasets. In-depth research in construction safety requires the detection of all influencing factors related to construction safety. The emergence of large language models offers new possibilities, and multimodal models that combine these with computer vision technology could break through the existing limitations. Therefore, this paper proposes the Grounding DINO multimodal model for the automatic detection of integrated construction elements, enhancing construction safety. First, this study reviews the literature to collect relevant datasets, summarizes their characteristics, and processes the data, including the processing of annotation files and the integration of classes. Subsequently, the Grounding DINO model is constructed, encompassing image and text feature extraction and enhancement, and a cross-modal decoder that fuses image and text features. Multiple dataset experimental strategies are designed to validate Grounding DINO’s capabilities in continuous learning, with a unified class system created based on integrated classes for model detection input text prompts. Finally, experiments involving zero-shot and fine-tuning evaluations, continuous learning validation, and effectiveness testing are conducted. The experimental results demonstrate the generalization capability and potential for continuous learning of the multimodal model.

Significant research progress has been made in intelligent fault diagnosis algorithms. However, these methods face challenges such as noise interference and untrustworthy diagnostic results in industrial practice, which limit their performance in practical applications. This paper proposes a new feature fusion and reinforcement network combined with swin-transformer (Swin-FFRN) for noise-resistant and trustworthy diagnosis, which combines a global feature extraction network and a staged convolutional fusion operation for fine-grained fault feature extraction and noise suppression in 2D time–frequency maps. The Swin-FFRN is used to analyze 2D time–frequency map data of different mechanical faults in a low signal-to-noise ratio environment by introducing a channel attention mechanism and a spatial attention mechanism to strengthen the critical fault features that are strongly correlated with the classification of the faults so that the model focuses on the crucial features. Moreover, the noise immunity performance is evaluated using the latest methods on two different datasets, and intuitive visual interpretability is provided to show model credibility. The results show that the noise-resistant diagnostic accuracy of the proposed method is improved by 5.43% on average with respect to the SOTA method. By enhancing the key input features, the proposed method can give diagnostic results with a reasonable decision basis.

Using marsupial unmanned cluster systems can significantly improve underwater unexploded ordnance (UXO) clearance through strategic planning. This study examines the planning method for these systems. Current geographic information databases provide limited insights on UXO targets, and neither coverage path planning (CPP) nor multi-robot task allocation (MRTA) alone can effectively tackle UXO clearance complexities. A target-driven planning approach is proposed to enhance the system’s performance by utilizing known target information while ensuring adequate area coverage. A multi-agent decision rule is proposed, focusing on pre-planning and agent empathy to assign new targets in scenarios with limited communication effectively. These two aspects form a target-driven dynamic coverage planning method, with simulation experiments designed to compare the time required for UXO clearance across various planning methods. The most important new thing that this study adds is a new planning method tailored to the marsupial cluster system. This method increases the effectiveness of removing underwater UXO by 0.86% to 8.96% when the target known rate is above 30.3%. In addition, the simulation results indicate a direct correlation between the utilization of known information and system efficiency improvements. The article can also further support that the more information is known, the more intelligent planning methods make sense.

As industrial automation and intelligence advance, equipment complexity rises, leading to diverse fault patterns. In fine-grained fault diagnosis, sample scarcity causes a significant long-tail effect, where main fault categories dominate. High intra-class variance and inter-class similarity in fine-grained categories impede the performance of traditional supervised contrastive learning, particularly for underrepresented tail categories in feature space. To address the above problems, a novel supervised contrast learning method for long-tailed fine-grained fault diagnosis, OC-SupCon, is proposed to improve the feature representations through the online complement strategy. Supervised contrastive learning is used as the model framework to ensure that each batch contains the inherent features of all fine-grained categories by introducing a class-centered prototype. Then, data augmentation is dynamically complemented by assessing the neighborhood sparsity of the samples to reduce the unfavorable influence on the features of the tail categories. Finally, the dominance of the head category is mitigated by balancing the gradient contributions of different fine-grained categories. In addition, Logit compensation technique is used in the classifier branch to adjust the category boundaries, and the class center prototypes are dynamically updated during the training process. The experimental results show that the proposed method exhibits significant performance in long-tailed fine-grained fault diagnosis tasks compared to existing state-of-the-art methods. The code is available from https://github.com/zhiqan/OC-Supcon.

Multi-scale dynamic graph mutual information network for planet bearing health monitoring under imbalanced data

In engineering, imbalanced data collected from planet bearings causes most intelligent models to shrink the decision boundary of minor classes and degrade diagnostic accuracy. Different from these models under the assumption of data balance, graph-based methods focus on the relationship between data to alleviate the issue of data imbalance, but they have restrictions on single-feature propagation and only rely on the feature extraction capability of convolutional operations. As such, a multi-scale dynamic graph mutual information network (MDGMIN) is proposed for the health monitoring of planet bearings with imbalanced data. First, a dual spatial–temporal graph generation algorithm is designed to construct dynamic and distance graphs via the gated convolution in the temporal dimension and the cosine similarity and Top-k sorting mechanism in the spatial dimension. Second, multi-scale dynamic edge graph convolutional layers are constructed to extract specific and similar features, and they are weighted fused via an attention mechanism. Finally, mutual information learning is developed to foster the model in capturing graph features in-depth through commonality and discrepancy constraints, and a new loss-driven function based on two constraints is proposed to update the training objective. Experimental analysis on an imbalanced planet bearing dataset verifies that the developed MDGMIN reaches the diagnostic accuracy of 92.80%, exceeding that of state-of-the-art methods on the dataset with an imbalanced ratio of 20:1. In addition, the generalizability of the MDGMIN is validated in another bearing dataset from the planetary gearbox.

Neural ODE powered model for bearing remaining useful life predictions with intra- and inter-domain shifts

In bearing remaining useful life (RUL) predictions, current domain adaptation (DA) and domain generalization (DG) methods are typically concerned with mitigating inter-domain shifts (DSs)—a type of DSs existing across the bearing degradation data sequences. Yet, intra-DSs along the bearing degradation data sequences, which are another type of DSs governing inter-DSs, have not attracted sufficient attention, thus hindering the applicability of existing methods. Moreover, many existing DG methods are developed based on multi-source domains, while bearing RUL predictions in reality often expect models of single-source DG capability. This study investigates the potential of the neural ordinary differential equation (ODE) for filling the aforementioned research gaps, leading to a novel neural ODE powered modeling (NOMI) scheme. First, the ODE characteristic of time invariance is utilized to address intra-DSs for learning time-invariant latent features from a single source bearing degradation data domain. Then, the gained time consistency could reduce heterogeneous intra-DS patterns, thereby decreasing inter-DSs and promoting model generalizability. The designed ODE module can be conveniently employed under DA and DG scenarios. Additionally, with a further gradient manipulation technique, the proposed model can be trained efficiently. Theoretical analyses demonstrate the benefits of intra-domain minimization for solving the data distribution problem. The experimental results based on multiple bearing datasets also verify the superiority of our proposed method compared with state-of-the-art approaches.

This work presents a novel approach, the large language model assisted hyper-heuristic optimization algorithm (LLMOA), tailored to address complex optimization challenges. Comprising two essential components – the high-level component and the low-level component – LLMOA leverages the LLM (i.e., Gemini) with prompt engineering in its high-level component to construct optimization sequences automatically and intelligently. Furthermore, we propose novel elite-based local search operators as low-level heuristics (LLHs), which draw inspiration from the proximate optimality principle (POP). These local search operators cooperated with well-known mutation and crossover operators from differential evolution (DE), at a total of ten efficient and versatile search operators, forming the whole LLHs. To assess the competitiveness of LLMOA, we conducted comprehensive numerical experiments across CEC2014, CEC2020, CEC2022, and ten engineering optimization problems, benchmarking against eleven state-of-the-art optimizers. Our experimental findings and statistical analyses underscore the powerfulness and effectiveness of LLMOA. Moreover, ablation experiments reveal the pivotal role of integrating the LLM Gemini and prompt engineering as the high-level component. Conclusively, this study provides a feasible avenue to introduce LLM to the evolutionary computation (EC) community. The research’s source code is available for download at https://github.com/RuiZhong961230/LLMOA.

Carbon emissions estimation of design schemes during the early design stage enables thorough consideration of environmental issues from the source, which holds critical significance for carbon reduction and emission mitigation. Nevertheless, the scarcity of life cycle inventory data, coupled with the intricacies involved in the collection, presents a formidable challenge to conducting precise carbon emissions assessment. To address this issue, this research proposes a product carbon emissions estimation method in the early design stage based on multi-perspective similarity matching of design scenarios, which utilizes the idea of knowledge reuse through case-based reasoning. Specifically, the case-based reasoning framework encompassing case base construction, case retrieval, reuse, and revision has been outlined, which standards the procedure for obtaining the most similar case. Moreover, the design scenario is defined to comprehensively describe all life cycle activities that influence product carbon emissions, and the design scenario-based multi-layer model is constructed that encompasses the product’s lifecycle-related design information pertinent to carbon emissions, along with its intricate interrelationships, serving as the input information for precise case retrieval. Subsequently, a multi-perspective similarity matching strategy that integrates both the attribute and correlation information of design scenarios is developed, which accurately identifies the most similar case in the case base, enabling the efficient reuse of historical data. An example of the wind turbine gearbox is given as an example, the results indicating that the proposed carbon emission estimation method aligns most closely with actual machining conditions, achieving a minimal error of 2.75%, thereby unequivocally validating its effectiveness and reliability. This work provides designers with a targeted strategy for obtaining carbon emissions during the early design stage, thereby facilitating optimized decision-making for low-carbon design.

Disassembly is one of the crucial aspects of green manufacturing. For the end-of-life products, an effective disassembly sequence planning method can enhance recovery value and mitigate the negative consequences of resource depletion and waste generation. However, both the uncertainty of product depreciation condition and the NP-hard characteristics (including the determination of disassembly sequences and the selection of recovering strategies of subassemblies) of the disassembly sequence planning results in difficulties to determine the optimal/near-optimal disassembly solutions. To address these challenges, this work establishes an extended Petri net that considers diversified recovering strategies of each subassembly caused by uncertain product depreciation condition. Then, a rollout heuristic-reinforcement learning hybrid algorithm that integrates a rollout decision rule into the reinforcement learning procedure is proposed to rapidly find the high-quality disassembly solutions based on the extended Petri net, in which the uncertainty of disassembly information is tackled by training disassembly samples and the global exploration capability of the learning procedure is significantly improved by using the rollout decision rule. Finally, three products with different complexities and sizes are used to verify the performance of the proposed algorithm, and the experimental results indicate that our proposed rollout heuristic-reinforcement learning hybrid algorithm can efficiently compute the high-quality disassembly sequences under various disassembly environments.
