Pre-trained network-based transfer learning: A small-sample machine learning approach to nuclear power plant classification problem

Some research topics belonging to classification problems in the nuclear industry, such as fault diagnosis and accident identification, can be solved by feature extraction and subsequent application of statistical machine learning classifiers. Recently, deep neural network-based methods with automatic feature extraction and high accuracy have gained wide attention. They usually require large-scale training data, however, plant fault or accident data are scarce or difficult to obtain. Here this paper proposes a convolutional network (CNN)-based transfer learning method to solve this problem. The network's shallow layer is derived from a pre-trained CNN based on the ImageNet database to automatically extract features, and the deep layer is customized to match the classification problem. Data in non-image formats are converted to image formats and subsequently used to train the network. Case studies of rotating machines fault diagnosis show that the proposed method requires only limited training data to achieve high accuracy.
