There is a great threat to the production safety of coal mines caused by mine water disasters. Traditional identification methods are not adapted to the efficiency of today’s coal mining and do not offer the advantage of accurate detection in real-time. In this study, the Mayfly Algorithm (MA) was used to optimize the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network, combined with laser-induced fluorescence technology, to apply it to the identification of mine water sources for the prevention of mine water disasters and post-disaster relief work. Taking sandstone water and goaf water as the original samples, five mixed water samples were also prepared by mixing the sandstone water and goaf water in different proportions, giving a total of seven water samples to be tested. Laser-induced fluorescence technology was used to obtain the fluorescence spectral data of water samples, and then the Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) dimensionality reduction algorithm and the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) dimensionality reduction algorithm were used to reduce the dimensions of the original spectral data. Then, three architectures, including LSTM, GA-LSTM (optimization of the LSTM by genetic algorithm) and MA-LSTM were designed to identify mine water sources. Finally, from the results’ analysis, MA-LSTM performs best in many aspects after PCA dimensionality reduction and has the best identification effect. These results supported the feasibility of the novel method.
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.
