Domain graph attention neural network: A new mechanical fault diagnosis method with few samples.

Mechanical fault diagnosis is currently a highly trending topic, facing two significant challenges. Firstly, the acquisition of an ample number of fault samples proves to be difficult, thereby limiting access to sufficient data samples. Secondly, intricate and non-mathematically describable associations often exist among different faults. Most algorithms treat fault samples as isolated entities, consequently impacting the accuracy of fault diagnosis. This paper proposes a novel machine learning framework called Domain Graph Attention Neural Network (DGAT), which leverages the topological structure of graphs to effectively capture the interrelationships among fault samples. Additionally, this framework incorporates domain information during node updates to obtain richer embeddings, particularly in scenarios with limited available samples. It effectively overcomes the fixed receptive field limitation of the original Graph Attention Network (GAT). In order to validate the effectiveness of the model, we conducted extensive comparative experiments on diverse datasets, which demonstrated the superior performance of the proposed model.
