Deep Clustering Bearing Fault Diagnosis Method Based on Local Manifold Learning of an Autoencoded Embedding

In many practical fault diagnosis applications, the acquisition of fault data labels requires substantial manpower and resources, which are sometimes impossible to achieve. To address this, an unsupervised bearing fault diagnosis method based on deep clustering is proposed. In this method, an autoen...
