[0021] S3. Establish the mapping relationship between monitoring data in deep-water jacket structures and the overall horizontal force of the platform; S4. Utilize a physical feature-based intelligent prediction algorithm for the overall horizontal force of the deep-water jacket platform to accurately predict the overall horizontal force. This step specifically includes the following sub-steps: S4.1 Construct a dataset of the overall performance characteristics of the platform into a database, and divide the total dataset into a training set, a validation set, and a test set; S4.2 uses the combined loads of wind, waves, and currents in the marine environment as model inputs and the overall horizontal force of the deep-water jacket as model outputs; S4.3 Construct a CNN prediction model structure that includes an input layer, convolutional layer, Dropout layer, fully connected layer, and output layer; S4.4 Combines the prediction model and the database to iteratively train the CNN prediction model, including steps such as parameter initialization, backpropagation, parameter update, and cross-validation. S4.5 The above steps are used to evaluate and optimize the overall horizontal force prediction model of the deep-water jacket platform to obtain the optimal hyperparameters of the model. S4.6 Using a trained overall horizontal force prediction model for deep-water jacket platforms, the overall horizontal force of the deep-water jacket platform under marine environmental loads such as wind, waves, and currents is evaluated and tested using MAE, RMSE, and MAPE evaluation indicators, proving the rationality of the designed model. Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the construction of the physical characteristic dataset of the overall horizontal force of the platform. By building a high-precision overall index prediction model, accurate prediction of the overall horizontal force of the deep-water jacket platform under marine environmental loads such as wind, waves, and currents is achieved. In the implementation process, the collected data of the deep-water jacket platform under different marine environmental loads are first normalized to adapt to the input requirements of the CNN model. Next, the overall performance characteristic dataset of the platform, specifically the overall horizontal force, is extracted.
[0022] The CNN model architecture consists of an input layer, two convolutional layers, two dropout layers, one fully connected layer, and an output layer. The convolutional layers use one-dimensional convolutions with a kernel size of 1*3 to adapt to the scale of the data features. Within the convolutional layers, local features are extracted from the data by sliding the convolutional kernel across the input feature map. To improve the model's generalization ability, two dropout layers are added instead of pooling layers.
[0023] After training, the trained CNN model is used to predict data on the test set, and the predicted values are compared with the actual values to evaluate the model's prediction accuracy. Model performance is tested and evaluated using metrics such as MAE and RMSE. Based on the evaluation results, the model structure or hyperparameters are adjusted to improve prediction accuracy.

Combining the structural characteristics of the deep-water jacket platform with the monitoring data from sensors (wind, waves, currents, and axial force information of the rods, etc.), after analysis, sensors with stable data quality were selected for analysis and modeling, and their data were processed. S2. Combining the calculation methods and formulas for the horizontal force of the deep-water jacket support, and using the axial forces of the 8 diagonal braces and 4 legs at the base of Liuhua 11-1, the overall horizontal force F of the platform is calculated. w S3. Establish the mapping relationship between monitoring data (environmental load data such as wind speed, wind direction, current velocity, current direction, wave direction, wave height, and period) and the overall horizontal force of the platform in the deep-water jacket; obtain the overall horizontal force characteristic dataset of the platform, and divide it into a 70% training set, a validation set, and a 30% test set. S4. By constructing a CNN structure containing an input layer, convolutional layer, dropout layer, fully connected layer and output layer, a smart prediction model for the overall horizontal force of deep-water jackets based on physical features is established. S5. Combining the above network prediction model and calling the database, iteratively train the CNN network model, including steps such as parameter initialization, backpropagation, parameter update, and cross-validation. The platform sensor network mapping model training process is as follows: Figure 2 As shown; S6. Through the training process of the evaluation and tuning of the sensor network mapping model, obtain the optimal hyperparameters of the model. The number of input features is 7, the number of convolutional neural network layers is 5, the number of hidden layers is 128, the batch size is 64, the number of training rounds is 1000, the number of early stopping rounds is 20, the learning rate is 0.001, the optimizer is Adam, and the loss function is mean squared error.
[0025] Predictions were made using untrained test set data on a pre-trained CNN-based model for predicting the overall horizontal force of a duct stent, and the predicted values were plotted as a fitted curve with the actual values. Figure 3 The fitting effect of the CNN prediction model on the test set data is demonstrated, including the fitting of the overall horizontal force Fx along the X direction and the horizontal force Fy along the Y direction of the platform, proving the reliability of the model. Validation results on the test set show that the CNN-based guide frame overall horizontal force prediction model achieves a prediction accuracy of 97.8% for the overall horizontal force of the platform.
