Artificial Rabbits Optimized Mamba State Space and Temporal Convolutional Network for Intelligent Marine Engine Fault Diagnosis

, Pradheep T Rajan B

Early diagnosis and accurate detection of Marine Engine Faults (MEF) is essential for improving vessel safety, operational reliability, maintenance efficiency, and reducing unexpected downtime. In this paper an Artificial Rabbits Optimized Mamba State Space and Temporal Convolutional Network (ARO-MSS–TCN) framework is proposed for intelligent MEF diagnosis. Data processing based on Min–Max normalization used to improve data consistency. Data visualization is then implemented to identify important patterns and variations in engine operating conditions, followed by training and testing data splitting. The proposed hybrid model combines the MSS model for efficiently learning long-range temporal dependencies with the TCN for extracting local and multiscale temporal features from engine signals. Furthermore, the ARO algorithm is used to optimize the model parameters, thereby improving classification performance as well as convergence. The proposed framework is implemented in Python software using marine engine performance & fault diagnosis dataset and it is estimated with accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, as well as ROC-AUC metrics of 98%. The resulting intelligent diagnostic framework provides an effective and computationally efficient approach for reliable MEF detection and support predictive maintenance and intelligent marine machinery management. Future work, focus on with larger datasets from different marine engines and vessels to develop its simplification in marine locations.
