This application discloses a
process time prediction method and related apparatus, relating to the field of iron and steel
smelting. This application obtains the
steelmaking parameter set, refining parameter set, and
continuous casting parameter set corresponding to the three processes of
steelmaking, refining, and
continuous casting for the target steel grade. The
semantic vector of the target steel grade is obtained collaboratively based on the gradients of the
steelmaking model, refining model, and
continuous casting model, which can integrate the process
semantic information of the three processes. The steelmaking parameter set, refining parameter set, and continuous
casting parameter set, along with the
semantic vector of the target steel grade, are respectively input into pre-constructed steelmaking, refining, and continuous
casting time prediction models. This achieves accurate matching between the model corresponding to each process and its own process characteristics, allowing each model to focus on capturing the unique and most critical process features of the corresponding process without needing to learn complex
hybrid mapping functions. This effectively avoids the
internal logic confusion caused by a
single model predicting the time of multiple processes, significantly improving the accuracy of time prediction for each process in steelmaking, refining, and continuous
casting.
