Traditional rolling bearing fault diagnosis approaches require a large amount of fault data in advance, while some specific fault data is difficult to obtain in engineering scenarios. This imbalanced fault data problem seriously affects the accuracy of fault diagnosis. To improve the accuracy under imbalanced data conditions, we propose a novel data augmentation method of Enhanced Generative Adversarial Networks with Data Selection Module (EGAN-DSM). Firstly, a network enhancement module is designed, which quantifies antagonism between the generator and discriminator through loss value. And the module determines whether to iteratively enhance the networks with weak adversarial ability. Secondly, a Data Selected Module (DSM) is constructed using Hilbert space distance for screening generated data, and the screened data is mixed with original imbalanced data to reconstruct balanced data sets. Then, Deep Convolutional Neural Networks with Wide First-layer Kernels (WDCNN) is used for fault diagnosis. Finally, the method is verified by data measured on a rotating machine experimental platform. The results show that our method has high fault diagnosis accuracy under the condition of imbalanced data.
