Fault intensity diagnosis (FID) plays a pivotal role in intelligent manufacturing while neglecting dependencies among target classes hinders its practical deployment. This paper introduces a novel and general framework with deep hierarchical knowledge loss (DHK) to achieve hierarchical consistent representation and prediction. We develop a novel hierarchical tree loss to enable a holistic mapping of same-attribute classes, leveraging tree-based positive and negative hierarchical knowledge constraints. We further design a focal hierarchical tree loss to enhance its extensibility and devise two adaptive weighting schemes based on tree height. In addition, we propose a group tree triplet loss with hierarchical dynamic margin by incorporating hierarchical group concepts and tree distance to model boundary structural knowledge across classes. The joint two losses significantly improve the recognition of subtle faults. Extensive experiments are performed on four real-world datasets from various industrial domains (three cavitation datasets from SAMSON AG and one publicly available dataset) for FID, all showing superior results and outperforming recent state-of-the-art FID methods.

Fault intensity diagnosis (FID) plays a pivotal role in monitoring and maintaining mechanical devices within complex industrial systems. As current FID methods are based on chain of thought without considering dependencies among target classes. To capture and explore dependencies, we propose a hierarchical knowledge guided fault intensity diagnosis framework (HKG) inspired by the tree of thought, which is amenable to any representation learning methods. The HKG uses graph convolutional networks to map the hierarchical topological graph of class representations into a set of interdependent global hierarchical classifiers, where each node is denoted by word embeddings of a class. These global hierarchical classifiers are applied to learned deep features extracted by representation learning, allowing the entire model to be end-to-end learnable. In addition, we develop a re-weighted hierarchical knowledge correlation matrix (Re-HKCM) scheme by embedding inter-class hierarchical knowledge into a data-driven statistical correlation matrix (SCM) which effectively guides the information sharing of nodes in graphical convolutional neural networks and avoids over-smoothing issues. The Re-HKCM is derived from the SCM through a series of mathematical transformations. Extensive experiments are performed on four real-world datasets from different industrial domains (three cavitation datasets from SAMSON AG and one existing publicly) for FID, all showing superior results and outperform recent state-of-the-art FID methods.
