This paper proposes an intelligent simultaneous fault diagnosis model based on a hierarchical multi-label classification strategy and sparse Bayesian extreme learning machine. The intelligent diagnosis model compares the similarity between an unknown sample to be diagnosed and each single fault mode, then outputs the probability of each fault mode occurring. First, multiple two-class sub-classifiers based on SBELM are trained by using single-fault samples to extract the correlation between various pairs of single-fault, and the sub-classifiers are integrated with the proposed hierarchical multi-label classification (HMLC) strategy to form the diagnostic model based on HMLC-SBELM. Then, samples of single faults and simultaneous faults are used to generate the optimal discriminative thresholds by using optimization algorithms. Finally, the probabilistic output generated by the HMLC-SBELM-based model is transformed into the final fault modes by using the optimal discriminative threshold. The model performance is evaluated by using actual vibration signals of the main reducer and is compared with several classical models. The contrastive results indicate that the proposed model is more accurate, efficient, and stable.

Detecting objects such as aircraft and ships is a fundamental research area in remote sensing analytics. Owing to the prosperity and development of CNNs, many previous methodologies have been proposed for object detection within remote sensing images. Despite the advance, using the object detection datasets with a more complex structure, i.e., datasets with hierarchically multi-labeled objects, is limited to the existing detection models. Especially in remote sensing images, since objects are obtained from bird’s-eye view, the objects are captured with restricted visual features and not always guaranteed to be labeled up to fine categories. We propose a hierarchical multi-label object detection framework applicable to hierarchically partial-annotated datasets. In the framework, an object detection pipeline called Decoupled Hierarchical Classification Refinement (DHCR) fuses the results of two networks: (1) an object detection network with multiple classifiers, and (2) a hierarchical sibling classification network for supporting hierarchical multi-label classification. Our framework additionally introduces a region proposal method for efficient detection on vain areas of the remote sensing images, called clustering-guided cropping strategy. Thorough experiments validate the effectiveness of our framework on our own object detection datasets constructed with remote sensing images from WorldView-3 and SkySat satellites. Under our proposed framework, DHCR-based detections significantly improve the performance of respective baseline models and we achieve state-of-the-art results on the datasets.

Gene function prediction is a complicated and challenging hierarchical multi-label classification (HMC) task, in which genes may have many functions at the same time and these functions are organized in a hierarchy. This paper proposed a novel HMC algorithm for solving this problem based on the Gene Ontology (GO), the hierarchy of which is a directed acyclic graph (DAG) and is more difficult to tackle. In the proposed algorithm, the HMC task is firstly changed into a set of binary classification tasks. Then, two measures are implemented in the algorithm to enhance the HMC performance by considering the hierarchy structure during the learning procedures. Firstly, negative instances selecting policy associated with the SMOTE approach are proposed to alleviate the imbalanced data set problem. Secondly, a nodes interaction method is introduced to combine the results of binary classifiers. It can guarantee that the predictions are consistent with the hierarchy constraint. The experiments on eight benchmark yeast data sets annotated by the Gene Ontology show the promising performance of the proposed algorithm compared with other state-of-the-art algorithms.
