Drift-Aware Gas Concentration Estimation and Health Risk Assessment in Mining Environments Using Feature and Instance-Level Domain Adaptation
摘要
The deployment of gas sensors in industrial and mining environments is greatly affected by sensor drift, which leads to false gas concentration estimation and unreliable safety assessment. Traditional models trained under ideal conditions often fail to generalize this drift, thus highlighting the need for adaptive learning models that can work under limited or absent target-domain labels. This paper proposes a drift-aware gas sensing framework that integrates feature-level and instance-level domain adaptation to mitigate the impact of sensor drift, thereby providing reliable health-oriented decision support with a predicted Modified Health Quality Index value. The proposed model utilizes CORrelation ALignment to mitigate covariate shift, and TrAdaBoost.R2 is employed to perform instance reweighting and suppress misleading source-domain instances. The framework is evaluated using a publicly available gas-sensor-array-drift dataset. The baseline regression models attain high values of predictive accuracy, but they suffer greatly during drift conditions, revealing negative
