Abstract
Rotating machinery plays a critical role in transmission systems, while the scarcity of fault samples and labeled data limits the performance of existing diagnostic methods under few-shot conditions. This paper proposes a few-shot fault diagnosis method for rotating machinery based on a time-frequency dual-stream Mamba architecture and joint metric learning. Raw vibration signals and multi-scale short-time Fourier transform time-frequency views are constructed to characterize transient impacts and frequency-band energy distributions from complementary perspectives. A dual-stream feature extraction network is developed, where the time-domain branch captures impulsive fault patterns, and the time-frequency spatial Mamba and channel attention branches extract spatial dependencies and fault-sensitive responses. Moreover, a hierarchical selective fusion mechanism is introduced to adaptively integrate complementary features across different domains. Finally, a covariance-based joint metric learning module is designed to model class distributions using second-order statistics of support samples and classify query samples through local similarity aggregation. Experimental results show that the proposed method consistently outperforms comparison methods under different rotational speeds, training sample scales, and 8-way 1-shot/5-shot tasks, validating its effectiveness and robustness for few-shot rotating machinery fault diagnosis.
A four-branch multi-modal unsupervised domain-adaptive fault diagnosis framework, termed CRG-DA Net, based on ConvNeXt and ResNet1D, aimed at enabling cross-condition fault diagnosis under unlabeled target data is proposed.

Reliable fault diagnosis in rotating machinery is challenging due to the nonlinear and non-stationary nature of vibration signals. Although time–frequency analysis is widely used, it cannot capture the cross-scale coupling between amplitude-modulated (AM) and frequency-modulated (FM) components that carry essential diagnostic information. This study applies Holo-Hilbert Spectrum Analysis (HHSA) to extract amplitude–frequency modulation features and integrates them with six machine learning classifiers to identify four fault conditions. Random Forest, K-Nearest Neighbors, and Logistic Regression achieve accuracies of up to 99.95%, yielding higher accuracy than Fast Fourier Transform-based features. The proposed framework employs an HHSA-based feature extraction pipeline that effectively captures AM–FM coupling in nonlinear vibration signals. It also provides higher discriminative capability than traditional spectral approaches and maintains robustness across multiple classifiers. This method offers high diagnostic accuracy and strong potential for industrial predictive maintenance. Future work will focus on improving computational efficiency and evaluating the framework under more diverse and realistic operating conditions.
