Bearing Fault Classification Using Improved Antlion Optimizer and Extreme Learning Machine by Zhuanzhe Zhao, Yu Zhang, Qiang Ma, Yujian Rui, Guowen Ye, Mengxian Wang, Yongming Liu, Zhen Zhang, Neng Wei, Zhijian Tu

“…Finally, the bearing data of 8 patterns from Western Reserve University are decomposed by local mean decomposition (LMD), and then the symbolic entropy (SE) of the first three product function (PF) components signals is extracted and used as the input eigenvectors. Compared with the standard ELM and ALO-ELM models, the ELALO-ELM model has better generalization and stronger robustness and it can effectively improve the efficiency of network training and the accuracy of early fault pattern classification in bearing fault diagnosis. …”
