Speech Title: AI-Powered Aero-engine Fault Diagnosis

Abstract: The new generation AI technology, especially deep learning, has shown great advantage in feature learning and knowledge mining, which provides a new way for intelligent diagnosis and prognosis in manufacturing. This talk first provides a brief overview of deep learning. Then applications of some typical deep network models in intelligent diagnosis and prognosis are discussed, followed by a newly designed wavelet kernel deep neural network for aero-engine fault diagnosis.
