Class Imbalance
In practical engineering systems, there are often many fewer fault samples than normal samples, resulting in severe class imbalance. The BRB model cannot effectively distinguish minority faults, causing diagnostic results to be biased toward majority classes and seriously affecting the accuracy and reliability of fault identification. A single structure cannot accommodate all fault categories; thus, a multilayer structure is necessary to handle the class imbalance.
Multilayer Structure Incompatibility
When a multilayer structure is used, the incompatibility between the outputs of the first layer and the inputs of the second layer must be considered. Therefore, how to effectively connect the outputs and inputs becomes a critical problem to be solved.
Parameter Optimization Challenges
During the modeling process, the initial parameters of the model are influenced by expert knowledge and various external factors, which may prevent the model from perfectly identifying all categories during diagnosis. Therefore, how to improve the recognition accuracy for each category becomes a significant challenge.

Key Performance Improvement
99.66% Achieved Accuracy Post-Optimization (Bearing Dataset, up from 96.58%)Optimization of the ER fusion process significantly enhanced classification accuracy, increasing it from 96.58% to 99.66%. This demonstrates the critical role of the optimization strategy in reducing errors and improving diagnostic reliability.
Scalable & Efficient Fault Diagnosis
The proposed OvR-HBRB model is designed for scalability. While the training phase involves additional computational cost due to the decomposition of multiclass problems and CMA-ES optimization, the inference stage requires only limited computation, meeting practical diagnosis needs. Its architecture ensures an approximately linear increase in computational cost with the number of fault categories, highlighting its good scalability for complex multiclass fault diagnosis scenarios.
