Abstract:

Accurate and in-time performance monitoring plays a great role in industrial processes. However, since the labeled performances are usually measured by some special devices with a relatively long-time interval, the current deep neural networks for the performance monitoring always treat them only as an output. But actually, in the industrial process like froth flotation, labeled performance at the previous moment could also offer valuable information for performance monitoring at the current moment, especially under unstable working conditions. Therefore, we propose a Siamese time series and difference network (STS-D net), which integrates input features at different time steps and labeled performance at the previous moment effectively. In this article, the proposed STS-D net includes two sub-networks. One is the Siamese time series network, which aims to extract effective and uniform feature representations for the input time series at the current and previous moments; the other is the difference network, which integrates the feature representations of the two input time series with labeled performance at the previous moment to predict the performance at the current moment in an incremental way. Effectiveness of the proposed STS-D net is validated in a real-world froth flotation process.
