Abstract

Kernel extreme learning machine (KELM) has been widely studied in the field of aircraft engine fault diagnostics due to its easy implementation. However, because its computational complexity is proportional to the training sample size, its application in time-sensitive scenarios is limited. Therefore, in the case of largescale samples, the original KELM is difficult to meet the real-time requirements of aircraft engine onboard condition. To address this shortcoming, a novel distributed kernel extreme learning machines (DKELMs) algorithm is proposed in this paper. The distributed subnetwork is adopted to reduce the computational complexity, and then the likelihood probability and Dempster-Shafer (DS) evidence theory is used to design the fusion scheme to ensure the accuracy after fusion is not reduced. Afterwards, the verification on the benchmark datasets shows that the algorithm can greatly reduce the computational complexity and improve the real-time performance of the original KELM algorithm without sacrificing the accuracy of the model. Finally, the performance estimation and fault pattern recognition experiments of an aircraft engine show that, compared with the original KELM algorithm and support vector machine (SVM) algorithm, the proposed algorithm has the best performance considering both real-time capability and model accuracy.
