Hybrid Model of Mathematical and Neural Network Formulations for Rolling Force and Temperature Prediction in Hot Rolling Processes

Abstract

Steelmaking requires precise calculation at several steps of the manufacturing processes. We focus on the hot rolling process using Steckel mills, almost the end step in steel coil manufacturing. The rolling process is a type of plastic working in which a slab passes between two rolls and is stretched to reach the target thickness. It is necessary to predetermine the exact rolling force to obtain a coil with an accurate thickness after the rolling process. First, we introduced a machine learning model for calculating the rolling force, which can be used in-line in real plants. However, a direct calculation of the rolling force can cause stability problems, because the model output directly affects the process. In order to avoid such a problem, we determined a special temperature of the coil by inverse calculation of the classical mechanical model of hot rolling and set it as the model output value. As learning models, deep neural networks (DNN) and gradient boosting-based decision tree models were used. We preprocessed the collected process history data and added artificial features to the model input by creating physical variables used in the classical models. Moreover, to supplement the black-box nature of DNN, feature importance was analyzed from the decision tree model, and utilization and interpretation of each feature in the process are presented. Thus, our methods take advantage of both the classical mathematical model and the deep neural network model.

Event Scene Method of Legal Domain Knowledge Map Based on Neural Network Hybrid Model

“…In the legal knowledge graph, there are many professional terms for related entities, the Chinese and English concepts are mixed, and the close correlation between knowledge points makes it necessary to define the ontology framework, optimize the entity and attribute extraction methods, and establish a new update supplement during the construction of the legal knowledge graph. The whole algorithm, although the scope of the knowledge graph is large, and the entity relationships are complex and diverse, but based on the scalability of knowledge, the knowledge graph needs to be continuously updated and maintained [ 13 , 14 ].…”

“…We used a tree-based gradient boosting machine learning model with binary logistic objectives, XGBoost (XGB) [18]. This model is a decision-tree-based ensemble machine learning model known for its powerful performance in classification problems in various fields [19,20]. Since this is a tree-based model, it has the advantage of being able to process data with missing values [21].…”

Prediction on the Distributions of the Strength and Toughness of Thick Steel Plates Based on Bayesian Neural Network

“…For a steelmaking process, several attempts have been made to predict the physical properties using machine learning techniques [1][2][3] and neural networks. [4][5][6][7] Recently, due to a reduction of data collection costs and rapid advances in the artificial intelligence technology, the prediction ability of neural network model has become more accurate. Although AI continues to improve, it is difficult to use the predictions made through AI, as there is still uncertainty around the accuracy and reliability of AI predictions.…”
