pretty_name: XJTU-SY Bearing Run-to-Failure — Envelope Spectrum (signal→VLM, Category C)

XJTU-SY — fault classification from the envelope spectrum (reasoning track)

Third signal dataset in the AI4Manufacturing FORGE corpus (Category C, task T-C1), from 15 accelerated run-to-failure tests. Each record is the envelope spectrum of a 1.28 s vibration snapshot with the characteristic fault frequencies marked — the representation for faithful compute-then-check CoT. reasoning is empty; a planned XJTU-annotated sibling will fill it (not yet published).

Records: 907 (splits {'train': 690, 'test': 217}); labels {'normal': 416, 'outer_race': 352, 'inner_race': 139}; evidence_tier {'confirmed': 907}.

Schema (7-field unified record)

field	meaning
query	the classification instruction (one of 30 deterministic paraphrases per representation)
image	the rendered signal image (bytes embedded)
annot	gold fault class: normal / inner_race / outer_race
reasoning	chain-of-thought (empty here; filled in the -annotated sibling)
cate / task	C / T-C1 (signal fault classification)
metadata	JSON string: representation, condition, bearing_id, file_number, time_frac, life_files, channel, bearing, rpm, fs, fr_nominal, fr_used, fr_source, features, fault_freqs, computed_verdict, computed_snr, evidence_tier, image_sha256, split

Gold = the documented teardown failure element (Table 3 of the dataset paper): outer_race = bearings 1_1/1_2/1_3/2_2/2_4/2_5/3_1/3_5, inner_race = 2_1/3_3/3_4. normal = early files (before min(30% of life, the data-driven degradation onset)); bearings whose onset is floor-bound (degrading from day one) contribute no normals. Each record was scored under both the nominal and a spectrum-refined shaft rate (rigs deviate 0.5–2% from nominal); the better envelope-pattern match won.

Caveats

• Evidence-gated, conflict-free release. The reasoning track keeps only confirmed records (the label-independent envelope-spectrum detector independently finds the documented fault). The perception tracks keep confirmed + non-conflicting weak; records where the detector confidently found a different pattern than the gold (e.g. bearing 2_5's healthy shaft harmonic aliasing into BPFI within 1.7%) are dropped — an image should never fight its own label.
• cage is EXCLUDED from this release. XJTU has two cage-failure bearings, but only 6/142 files confirm a cage (FTF-ladder) signature — and 57 fault files score as outer_race instead (a failing cage hammers the outer raceway; 8×FTF ≡ BPFO for this geometry). Retained in the raw form; the cage bearings' certified-healthy early files still serve as normal. Published classes: normal / inner_race / outer_race.
• TRUE bearing-wise split — the first run-to-failure set with enough bearings for it: test = whole held-out bearings (1_3, 2_5 outer; 3_3 inner; plus cage bearing 2_3, which after the cage exclusion contributes early-life normal records only), so evaluation is on unseen bearings; normal appears in both splits from disjoint bearings. Compound-failure bearings (1_5, 3_2) appear only as early-life normal.
• End-of-life masking — in the final ~3% of life, broadband breakdown can mask the discrete fault comb, so late windows are not uniformly confirmed. A property of the physics, not the converter.
