description Extracting intuitive operating state features from vibration signals without prior knowledge is a prospective requirement for health monitoring and fault diagnosis in bearings. In this paper, a visualized stacked denoising auto-encoder (VSDAE) model is proposed for the unsupervised extraction and quantitative evaluation of bearings’ state features. First, the stacked denoising auto-encoder (SDAE) was used to reconstruct vibration signals. The intermediate vector of the SDAE, which is a high-information-density representation of vibration signals, was regarded as the pending state feature. Then, the dimension of the intermediate vector was reduced by the <i>t</i>-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (<i>t</i>-SNE) method to the two-dimensional visualization space. Finally, the silhouette coefficient of feature distribution was calculated to quantitatively evaluate the extracted features. The proposed model was evaluated using experimental bearing signals simulating various operating states. The results proved that the features, extracted and evaluated by the VSDAE, allowed the recognition of the operating states of the examined bearings.
