Neural Networks can be used for the prognosis of important quality measures in industrial processes to complement or reduce costly laboratory analysis. Problems occur if the system dynamics change over time (concept drift). We survey different approaches to handle concept drift and to ensure good prognosis quality over long time ranges. Two main approaches -data accumulation and ensemble learning -are explained and implemented. We compare the concepts on artificial datasets and on industrial data from three cement production plants and analyse strengths and weaknesses of different approaches.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
