Self-Learning and Its Application to Laminar Cooling Model of Hot Rolled Strip

The mathematical model for online controlling hot rolled steel cooling on run-out table （ROT for abbreviation） was analyzed, and water cooling is found to be the main cooling mode for hot rolled steel. The calculation of the drop in strip temperature by both water cooling and air cooling is summed up to obtain the change of heat transfer coefficient. It is found that the learning coefficient of heat transfer coefficient is the kernel coefficient of coiler temperature control （CTC） model tuning. To decrease the deviation between the calculated steel temperature and the measured one at coiler entrance, a laminar cooling control self-learning strategy is used. Using the data acquired in the field, the results of the self-learning model used in the field were analyzed. The analyzed results show that the self-learning function is effective.

Self-Learning of Multivariate Time Series Using Perceptually Important Points

In machine learning,positive-unlabelled(PU)learning is a special case within semi-supervised learning.In positiveunlabelled learning,the training set contains some positive examples and a set of unlabelled examples from both the positive and negative classes.Positive-unlabelled learning has gained attention in many domains,especially in time-series data,in which the obtainment of labelled data is challenging.Examples which originate from the negative class are especially difficult to acquire.Self-learning is a semi-supervised method capable of PU learning in time-series data.In the self-learning approach,observations are individually added from the unlabelled data into the positive class until a stopping criterion is reached.The model is retrained after each addition with the existent labels.The main problem in self-learning is to know when to stop the learning.There are multiple,different stopping criteria in the literature,but they tend to be inaccurate or challenging to apply.This publication proposes a novel stopping criterion,which is called Peak evaluation using perceptually important points,to address this problem for time-series data.Peak evaluation using perceptually important points is exceptional,as it does not have tunable hyperparameters,which makes it easily applicable to an unsupervised setting.Simultaneously,it is flexible as it does not make any assumptions on the balance of the dataset between the positive and the negative class.

SELF-LEARNING FUZZY CONTROL RULES USING GENETIC ALGORITHMS

This papcr presents a new genetic algorithms(GAs)-based method for self-learniag fuzzy control rules. An improved GA is used to learn to optimally select the fuzzy membership functions of the linguistic labels in the condition portion of each rule, and to automatically generate fuzzy control actions under each condition. The dynamics of the controlled system is unknown to the GA. The only information for evaluating performance is a failure signal indicating that the controlled system is out of control. We compare its performance with that of other learning methods for the same problem. We also examine the ability of the algorithm to adapt to changing conditions. Simulation results show that such an approach for self-learning fuzzy control rules is both effective and robust.

The article describes an approach to building a self-learning diagnostic algorithm. The self-learning algorithm creates models of the object under consideration. The models are formed periodically through a certain time period.

The Self-Learning Gate for Quantum Computing

Self-learning is one of the most important scientific methods that helps develop sciences, as it derives from the desire and interests of the individual. However, self-learning loses importance if it does not follow the scientific methodology for building and organizing information. The case becomes harder if the science is new and few scientific sources are available. Quantum computing is one of the new sciences in computer science and needs the support of specialists to develop it. Quantum computing overlaps with many sciences such as physics, chemistry, and mathematics, so any student in one of the previous disciplines may lose the correct self-learning path to find themselves learning the details of another discipline that does not achieve their goals. This article motivates students and those interested in computer science to begin studying the science of quantum computing and choose the same specialization that suits their interests. The article also provides a roadmap for self-learning steps to protect the learner from losing the correct learning path. I have categorized the stages of learning quantum computing into four steps through which all the essential basics can be learned, provided the goals mentioned in each stage which should be achieved. The learning strategy proposed in this article corresponds with individuals’ self-learning rules. Through my personal experience, the proposed learning strategy has proven its effectiveness in building information in an enjoyable scientific way.

A novel self-learning approach to overcome incompatibility on TripAdvisor reviews

Among social media networks,TripAdvisor acts as the main role because everyone is eager to share and review their thoughts on their travel experiences in different destinations.Sentiment analysis is amethod that can be used to analyze people's behaviors and opinions onpublic and socialmedia platforms.In this study,hotel reviews are extracted fromthe five most attractive Sri Lankan cities,and user-written reviews are compared over user bubble ratings,which define overall travelers'experiences as a numerical scale that ranks from 1 to 5.We find that the compatibility between userwritten reviews and bubble ratings has a low correlation because bubble ratings may not represent the overall idea of users'genuine opinions expressed in their reviews.To address this problem,a two-phase approach is proposed:(1)the ensemblemethod to improve the performance of lexicon-based outputs and identify the correctlymatching user review and bubble rating;(2)the self-learning approach to finding the sentiment of a review that does not properly label by the user.The performance is studied by considering reviews incompatible with the sentiment of user bubble rating and the sentiment generated by the proposedmodel.For example,regardless of bigram“not good”,the average percentages of the word“good”for each negatively identified review from the proposed model and bubble rating are 25.63%and 38.85%,respectively.Thereby,it is apparent that the negative sentiments derived by bubble rating have significantly more positive words compared to the proposed model.

HYDRAULIC PRESSURE SIGNAL DENOISING USING THRESHOLD SELF-LEARNING WAVELET ALGORITHM

A pre-filter combined with threshold self-learning wavelet algorithm is proposed for hydraulic pressure signals denoising. The denoising threshold is self-learnt in the steady flow state, and then modified under a given limit to make the mean square errors between reconstruction signals and desirable outputs minimum, so the corresponding optimal denoising threshold in a single operating case can be obtained. These optimal thresholds are used for the whole signal denoising and are different in various cases. Simulation results and comparative studies show that the present approach has an obvious effect of noise suppression and is superior to those of traditional wavelet algorithms and back-propagation neural networks. It also provides the precise data for the next step of pipeline leak detection using transient technique.

Sensorimotor Self-Learning Model Based on Operant Conditioning for Two-Wheeled Robot

Traditional control methods of two-wheeled robot are usually model-based and require the robot’s precise mathematic model which is hard to get. A sensorimotor self-learning model named SMM TWR is presented in this paper to handle these problems. The model consists of seven elements: the discrete learning time set, the sensory state set, the motion set, the sensorimotor mapping, the state orientation unit, the learning mechanism and the model’s entropy. The learning mechanism for SMM TWR is designed based on the theory of operant conditioning (OC), and it adjusts the sensorimotor mapping at every learning step. This helps the robot to choose motions. The leaning direction of the mechanism is decided by the state orientation unit. Simulation results show that with the sensorimotor model designed, the robot is endowed the abilities of self-learning and self-organizing, and it can learn the skills to keep itself balance through interacting with the environment. © 2017, Shanghai Jiaotong University and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
