Abstract
Support vector machines (SVM) are applied to the prediction of key state variables in bioprocesses, such as product concentration and biomass concentration, which commonly play an important role in bioprocess monitoring and control. A so-called rolling learning-prediction procedure is used to deal with the time variant property of the process, and to establish the training database for the SVM predictor, which is characterized with the rolling update of the training database. As an example, product concentration in industrial penicillin production is predicted, and a comparison is also made with three different artificial neural network architectures (FBNN, RBFN, and RNN). The test results indicate that a prediction accuracy of 1-3 % can be obtained for 4-40h ahead prediction using the SVM, which is better than the best of the three artificial neural networks (ANNs). Moreover, for noise-added training highly noisy data or small-sample learning, the SVM also clearly outper-forms FBNN, RBFN, and RNN.
