Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of computer technology, specifically relating to a test-time adaptive method for predicting the ash content of clean coal in latent space concept drift assessment. Background Technology

[0002] Ash content in clean coal is a core indicator for evaluating the quality of coal products. Effective control and accurate prediction of ash content in clean coal are of paramount importance for improving product quality, optimizing resource utilization, reducing production costs, and enhancing production stability.

[0003] Current technologies for determining the ash content of clean coal mainly rely on laboratory chemical analysis methods, which calculate the ash content by burning coal samples and measuring the mass of residual minerals. While this method offers high accuracy, it is complex, time-consuming, and exhibits significant time lag, making it difficult to meet the demands of modern coal preparation systems for real-time online monitoring and rapid control.

[0004] Existing data-driven prediction methods are mostly based on direct modeling of collected samples, but this method faces three challenges: First, the internal mechanism of the model is difficult to explain, resulting in a serious "black box" problem; second, the non-stationary nature of the heavy media coal preparation process makes it difficult for the model to guarantee prediction accuracy in the early stages of changes in operating conditions and when the amount of data is insufficient; third, there are significant differences in coal quality characteristics and process parameters among different coal preparation plants, making it difficult to directly transfer and apply high-precision models trained in a single scenario.

[0005] Concept drift, or the change in the mapping relationship between input features and target variables, is an important cause of the above problems; the same process parameters may lead to drastically different sorting results in different coal preparation plants, which directly restricts the model's cross-scenario generalization ability. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems in existing technologies, this invention proposes a test-time adaptive method for predicting the ash content of clean coal using latent space concept drift evaluation. By constructing a time-shift driven sample-offset sample pair drift pattern for learning samples, it achieves accurate prediction of the ash content of clean coal, solving the problems of traditional methods being sensitive to changes in operating conditions and having insufficient cross-scenario transfer performance.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution;

[0020] Preferably, in step 4, latent space features in the samples and offset samples are extracted based on the LSTNet model. The LSTNet model consists of three stages: a convolutional neural network layer, a recurrent neural network layer, and a recurrent skip neural network layer. The specific steps are as follows.

[0023] Step 4.3: Use a recurrent skip neural network to model long-term dependencies on the local features extracted by the convolutional neural network.

[0044] Preferably, in step 6, in practical applications, the model adds the offset output by the model at the current moment to the ash content of the clean coal at the previous moment to obtain the accurate ash content value at the current moment.

[0045] The beneficial technical effects brought about by this invention;

[0046] 1. Enhanced model interpretability. Traditional clean coal ash content prediction models struggle to trace the specific causes of fluctuations in predicted values, limiting their practical guidance in actual production. This invention, by predicting the dynamic change patterns of clean coal ash content, visually presents the key factors influencing ash content fluctuations, significantly improving the model's interpretability and thus enhancing its guidance for on-site operations and process adjustments.

[0047] 2. Enhanced proactive adaptability to non-stationary processes. When concept drift occurs, traditional models often require accumulating a large number of new samples to complete parameter adjustments, making it difficult to guarantee prediction accuracy in the early stages of drift. This invention extends the modeling object from static mapping to dynamic learning of drift patterns. Through forward-looking prediction of drift trends, it achieves rapid response to new operating conditions, significantly improving the accuracy and stability of ash content prediction during periods of changing operating conditions, bringing better economic benefits to coal preparation plants.

[0048] 3. Achieving cross-condition knowledge transfer and few-sample learning. Traditional methods are limited by the significant differences in coal quality characteristics, equipment parameters, and process conditions among different coal preparation plants, making effective cross-scenario transfer difficult. This invention utilizes the similarity of the clean coal ash drift mechanism across scenarios, and by modeling the inherent laws of ash change, it achieves model adaptation with only a small number of samples under new operating conditions. This feature effectively improves the model's generalization ability and transfer efficiency, providing strong support for the intelligent promotion and deployment of coal preparation plants.

[0055] A test-time adaptive method for predicting clean coal ash content based on implicit space concept drift assessment, the process of which is as follows: Figure 1 As shown; the accurate prediction of the target ash offset is achieved using sample-offset sample pairs, including the following steps;

[0056] Step 1: Collect heavy media coal preparation data and construct a coal preparation dataset;

[0089] Step 6: Evaluation and application of the model.

[0090] In practical applications, the model adds the offset output by the model at the current moment to the ash content of the clean coal at the previous moment to obtain the accurate ash content value at the current moment.

[0091] The specific implementation is as follows.

[0092] Step 1: Collect heavy medium coal preparation data and construct a coal preparation dataset.

[0093] The data used in this invention all originate from the actual heavy media separation process of a coal preparation plant under Shandong Energy Zaozhuang Mining Group. The collected data covers the following three categories: First, key process parameters (as shown in Table 1), including sampling date, sampling time, magnetic content, coal slime content, separation density, hydrocyclone inlet pressure, and combined medium tank level, with a sampling frequency of once per minute; second, raw coal ash content and yield (as shown in Table 2), specifically including sampling date, sampling time, raw coal density classification, and the corresponding ash content and yield; third, clean coal ash content data (as shown in Table 3), specifically including sampling date, sampling time, and clean coal ash content value. In terms of production organization, a three-shift system (8 hours per shift) is adopted on-site. Each shift classifies raw coal according to density and conducts multiple raw coal float-sink experiments to obtain raw coal ash content as needed. Based on the above data, this invention systematically organizes and constructs a sample dataset for predicting the time-series offset of clean coal ash content.

[0099] .

[0100] Step 2: Preprocess the collected data and divide it into training and test sets.

[0101] To enhance the model's ability to extract information from the heavy media coal preparation process, this invention first systematically preprocesses the raw collected data. Through operations such as missing value handling, noise and distortion introduced during data acquisition are effectively eliminated, ensuring the accuracy and consistency of the input data. After cleaning and reconstruction, the raw data is transformed into a structured format suitable for modeling input requirements, providing a reliable foundation for the model to fully explore the potential features in the data. After preprocessing, the resulting data is divided into training and testing sets at a 9:1 ratio for model training and performance evaluation, respectively. This preprocessing step effectively reduces prediction bias caused by raw data quality issues, laying a solid foundation for improving the accuracy of clean coal ash content prediction.

[0102] Step 3: Construct time-shift driven sample-offset sample pairs.

[0103] After the data preprocessing in step 2 is completed, offset samples are extracted using the processed samples and time offsets to construct time-shift driven sample-offset sample pairs. The specific method for generating offset samples is as follows: First, a time offset is set; second, the samples are shifted backward using the obtained time offset to obtain offset samples; finally, the samples and offset samples are combined to form sample-offset sample pairs. The calculation process for generating sample-offset sample pairs is as follows;

[0106] Step 4: Extract the latent space features of the sample and the offset sample.

[0107] The latent space features of the samples and offset samples are constructed using the sample-offset pairs obtained in step 3 and combined with the LSTNet model. The structure of the LSTNet model is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, it mainly consists of three layers: a convolutional neural network layer, a training neural network layer, and a recurrent skipping neural network layer. The specific working process of this model is as follows:

[0108] Step 4.1: Input the obtained sample-offset sample pairs into the model and use a convolutional neural network (CNN) to extract their local features;

[0109] Step 4.2: Use a recurrent neural network (RNN) to model short-term dependencies on the local features extracted by the CNN.

[0110] Step 4.3: Use a recurrent skip neural network (Skip-RNN) to model long-term dependencies on the local features extracted by the CNN;

[0111] Step 4.4: Combine the short-term dependency modeling implemented by RNN with the long-term dependency modeling implemented by Skip-RNN to form the latent space features of the sample.

For the sigmoid function, The tanh activation function is used. This indicates the dot product operation.

[0124] Step 5: Calculate the reconstruction loss and target offset loss using the obtained latent space features.

[0125] The sample-offset sample pairs obtained in step 3 are used as model input, and the clean coal ash content offset is used as model output. The model is trained using the training set to improve its ability to predict the clean coal ash content offset at different times. The model combines the reconstruction loss and the target offset loss to form an overall loss function, which is used to calculate the difference between the predicted value and the actual value.

Based on the above experimental results, in this invention... and Take values ​​of 0.1 and 0.6 respectively.

[0140] Furthermore, to achieve optimal model performance, this invention adjusts the designed hyperparameters. Specifically, the learning rate is 0.001; the Adam optimizer is used; the batch size is 1024; and the number of training epochs is 200. Simultaneously, to prevent overfitting, this invention monitors the changes in various metric values ​​during training, and saves the current optimal model parameters when the loss decreases.

[0141] Step 6: Model Evaluation and Application.

[0142] After model training, the model is evaluated using a test set. This invention uses Mean Absolute Error (MAE) for performance evaluation on the test set, and the obtained MAE is 0.0241, indicating high prediction accuracy.

[0143] To further verify the superiority of the proposed method for predicting the ash content offset of clean coal compared to directly predicting the ash content, comparative experiments were conducted, and the results are listed in Table 4. The results show that the proposed method significantly outperforms existing methods in terms of prediction performance.

[0146] When applying the evaluated model to the actual coal preparation process, this invention does not directly predict the ash content of the clean coal, but rather predicts its offset. In specific application, the offset predicted at the current moment is added to the ash content of the clean coal at the previous moment to obtain the ash content of the clean coal at the current moment. The application process is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, this method effectively overcomes the problems of traditional prediction methods by predicting ash content offset, achieving accurate prediction of clean coal ash content, and improving the model's cross-scenario transferability, thereby further improving the overall efficiency of the heavy media coal preparation process.
