Hierarchical fusion learning architecture for desulfurization endpoint prediction and process guidance
摘要
The pursuit of high-quality steel production necessitates precise control of operational parameters, particularly in the pretreatment of hot metal (PHM), where traditional methods may lead to inefficiencies. Consequently, the hierarchical fusion learning architecture (HFLA), an innovative system leveraging statistical theory, machine learning, and intelligent optimization techniques, was presented for accurate sulfur content prediction in PHM. By employing a strategy-driven fusion approach, HFLA enhances feature extraction via stacked kernels, incorporating Tikhonov regularization to guide the meta-learner predictions. Validation results from steel mill production demonstrate an impressive 4.3% increase in the coefficient of determination (R2) compared to existing models, showcasing HFLA’s superiority. Furthermore, interpretability analysis reveals new insights into PHM, facilitating the development of a collaborative optimization system for injection flow and desulfurizer dosage. Implementation tests indicate this system yields approximately 10% in cost savings, positioning HFLA as a leading solution among current state-of-the-art approaches.
