Research in this area remains fragmented, with comparisons limited by the use of unrealistic datasets and insufficient exploration of the exploitation of temporal information. This work investigates how to recover component-level health indicators from operational sensor data under realistic degradation and maintenance patterns. To support this study, Hugging Face Daily Papers introduces a new dataset that incorporates industry-oriented complexities such as maintenance events and usage changes. Using this dataset, Hugging Face Daily Papers establish an initial benchmark that compares steady-state and nonstationary data-driven models, and Bayesian filters, classic families of methods used to solve this problem. In addition to this benchmark, Hugging Face Daily Papers introduces self-supervised learning (SSL) approaches that learn latent representations without access to true health labels, a scenario reflective of real-world operational constraints. By comparing the downstream estimation performance of these unsupervised representations against the direct prediction baselines, Hugging Face Daily Papers establish a practical lower bound on the difficulty of solving this inverse…
