Abstract
Due to the extremely complex mechanism and strong non-linear characteristics of industrial processes, data-driven soft sensor technologies play a key role in the intelligent measurement of process industries. However, the information of the collected process data in the steady stage is quite limited and unreliable, causing the small sample problem. As a result, it becomes an intractable challenge to catch the nature of the process and build accurate soft sensor models. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a novel manifold learning based virtual sample generation method (Isomap-VSG) to generate feasible virtual samples in the information gaps for supplementing the original small sample space. To find data sparse regions reasonably, one kind of manifold learning methods called Isomap is used to visualize process data with high dimension. Then virtual samples can be generated by the interpolation method and extreme learning machine. The simulation results on a standard dataset and a real-world application demonstrate that, compared with other advanced methods, the proposed Isomap-VSG method can achieve better performance in terms of generating feasible virtual samples and improving the accuracy of soft sensor models using limited samples.
