Ballistocardiograms (BCG) is a passive, non-contact heart rate detection technology that requires no action on the part of the individual. However, during the BCG signal acquisition process, the surface pressure generated by cardiac contraction is easily disturbed by external factors, and as people's health deteriorates, the j-peak (the main peak of the BCG signal) is no longer prominent. Our aim is to establish a non-contact, self-supervised heart rate detection method based on physiological information, to improve the accuracy and robustness of BCG heart rate detection under wider and more adverse conditions. The algorithm is guided by the heart rate estimation based on BCG itself, thereby reconstructing a signal with physiological significance. We also propose a heartbeat mapping algorithm based on Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory Network (BiLSTM) for extracting global deep features, achieving real-time heartbeat prediction, and eliminating local deviations brought about by reconstruction. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, this paper evaluated 40 young subjects and 4 elderly subjects. Compared with the existing state-of-the-art methods, beat-to-beat heart rate estimation and heartbeat detection both performed excellently, surpassing most methods using precise labels. The experimental results show that the proposed method achieves effective heartbeat detection, demonstrating robustness and effectiveness in the face of unavoidable noise and variations.

Fault intensity diagnosis (FID) plays a pivotal role in monitoring and maintaining mechanical devices within complex industrial systems. As current FID methods are based on chain of thought without considering dependencies among target classes. To capture and explore dependencies, we propose a hierarchical knowledge guided fault intensity diagnosis framework (HKG) inspired by the tree of thought, which is amenable to any representation learning methods. The HKG uses graph convolutional networks to map the hierarchical topological graph of class representations into a set of interdependent global hierarchical classifiers, where each node is denoted by word embeddings of a class. These global hierarchical classifiers are applied to learned deep features extracted by representation learning, allowing the entire model to be end-to-end learnable. In addition, we develop a re-weighted hierarchical knowledge correlation matrix (Re-HKCM) scheme by embedding inter-class hierarchical knowledge into a data-driven statistical correlation matrix (SCM) which effectively guides the information sharing of nodes in graphical convolutional neural networks and avoids over-smoothing issues. The Re-HKCM is derived from the SCM through a series of mathematical transformations. Extensive experiments are performed on four real-world datasets from different industrial domains (three cavitation datasets from SAMSON AG and one existing publicly) for FID, all showing superior results and outperform recent state-of-the-art FID methods.
