KAN-HyperMP: An Enhanced Fault Diagnosis Model for Rolling Bearings in Noisy Environments.

Rolling bearings often produce non-stationary signals that are easily obscured by noise, particularly in high-noise environments, making fault detection a challenging task. To address this challenge, a novel fault diagnosis approach based on the Kolmogorov-Arnold Network-based Hypergraph Message Passing (KAN-HyperMP) model is proposed. The KAN-HyperMP model is composed of three key components: a neighbor feature aggregation block, a feature fusion block, and a KANLinear block. Firstly, the neighbor feature aggregation block leverages hypergraph theory to integrate information from more distant neighbors, aiding in the reduction of noise impact, even when nearby neighbors are severely affected. Subsequently, the feature fusion block combines the features of these higher-order neighbors with the target node's own features, enabling the model to capture the complete structure of the hypergraph. Finally, the smoothness properties of B-spline functions within the Kolmogorov-Arnold Network (KAN) are employed to extract critical diagnostic features from noisy signals. The proposed model is trained and evaluated on the Southeast University (SEU) and Jiangnan University (JNU) Datasets, achieving accuracy rates of 99.70% and 99.10%, respectively, demonstrating its effectiveness in fault diagnosis under both noise-free and noisy conditions.
