Fault diagnosis model of rolling bearings based on the M-YOLO network by NING Shaohui, ZHANG Shaopeng, WU Yukun, DU Yue, FAN Xiaoning

“…Finally, the traditional Dropout structure was replaced by Dropblock, and more refined optimization was carried out from the spatial and temporal levels to improve the robustness and diagnostic accuracy of the model.ResultsThe test results show that the diagnosis results of the M-YOLO diagnostic model are significantly higher than those of the traditional fault diagnosis methods, and the frequency-domain conversion feature image has better robustness than the time-domain image, which is more suitable for the training and classification of the object detection model.…”

Effective defense against physically embedded backdoor attacks via clustering-based filtering by Mohammed Kutbi

“…Unlike most existing methods that address digitally added triggers, our approach specifically targets physically embedded triggers (e.g., a bandage placed on a face), which closely resemble real-world occlusions and are therefore harder to detect. We first extract high-level features from a trusted, pre-trained model, reduce the feature dimensionality via Principal Component Analysis (PCA), and then fit Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs) to cluster suspicious samples. …”
