Need for Optimisation Techniques to Select Neural Network Algorithms for Process Modelling of Reduction Cell

  • Conference paper

Abstract

While there exists a broad range of neural networks for a particular task, different neural network architectures are selected depending upon the nature of application in industry. The range of applications covers anything from performance estimation and pattern recognition to process modelling and control. The network selection can be carried out based on economic considerations, such as cost associated with neural network computation time and obtaining data for required model variables. While each of the selected models can be a possible solution, depending upon the performance criteria, they all can be ranked from most suitable to least suitable for a particular application. In this paper, appraisal of neural networks for three industrial applications, involving process modelling of reduction cells for aluminium production, is discussed. Regression analysis techniques and six neural network models are assessed for their performance, using specific assessment criteria. It is shown that there is no single model that is most appropriate for each of the assessment criteria considered in each instance, hence, the decision of which neural network model is most suitable for a specific application is complex, particularly as the assessment criteria are not fundamentally of equal significance. It is shown that optimisation techniques are necessary to select an appropriate model for an application.
