Supervised Parameter Optimization of a Modular Machine Learning System

Abstract

To model a complex manufacturing process effectively with commonly used machine learning methods (Rule Induction, MLP, ANFIS) further preprocessing steps of feature selection, feature value characterization and feature value smoothing are required. The model prediction error serves as the fitness measure. It depends strongly on the parameter settings of the processing modules. Qualitatively better processing parameter settings are found by iterative training process where these settings are modified based on the quality of the previous learning process, controlled by downhill algorithms (Evolutionary Strategy, Downhill Simplex). This enables us to find a suitable model describing a process with less effort. The traditional optimizing process of determining signal processing parameters with heuristics may be standardized and preserved through this mechanism.
