Original Abstract

In industrial environments, it is often difficult and expensive to collect a good amount of data to adequately train expert systems for regression purposes. Therefore the usage of already available data, related to environments showing similar characteristics, could represent an effective approach to find a good balance between regression performance and the amount of data to gather for training. In this paper, the authors propose two alternative strategies for improving the regression performance by using heterogeneous data, i.e. data coming from diverse environments with respect to the one taken as reference for testing. These strategies are based on a standard machine learning algorithm, i.e. the Artificial Neural Network (ANN). The employed data came from measurements in industrial plants for energy production through the combustion of coal powder. The powder is transported in air within ducts and its size is detected by means of Acoustic Emissions (AE) produced by the impact of powder on the inner surface of the duct. The estimation of powder size distribution from AE signals is the task addressed in this work. Computer simulations show how the proposed strategies achieve a relevant improvement of regression performance with respect to the standard approach, using ANN directly on the dataset related to the reference plant.
