contents Unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) has achieved remarkable success in fault diagnosis, bringing significant benefits to diverse industrial applications. While most UDA methods focus on cross-working condition scenarios where the source and target domains are notably similar, real-world applications often grapple with severe domain shifts. We coin the term `distant domain adaptation problem' to describe the challenge of adapting from a labeled source domain to a significantly disparate unlabeled target domain. This problem exhibits the risk of negative transfer, where extraneous knowledge from the source domain adversely affects the target domain performance. Unfortunately, conventional UDA methods often falter in mitigating this negative transfer, leading to suboptimal performance. In response to this challenge, we propose a novel Online Selective Adversarial Alignment (OSAA) approach. Central to OSAA is its ability to dynamically identify and exclude distant source samples via an online gradient masking approach, focusing primarily on source samples that closely resemble the target samples. Furthermore, recognizing the inherent complexities in bridging the source and target domains, we construct an intermediate domain to act as a transitional domain and ease the adaptation process. Lastly, we develop a class-conditional adversarial adaptation to address the label distribution disparities while learning domain invariant representation to account for potential label distribution disparities between the domains. Through detailed experiments and ablation studies on two real-world datasets, we validate the superior performance of the OSAA method over state-of-the-art methods, underscoring its significant utility in practical scenarios with severe domain shifts.
