According to further embodiments, the pre-processing of the historical processing data comprises selecting the historical processing data by low variance filter, which removes historical processing data with variance lower than a predetermined threshold (that is, features with same value), such data carries little information and has small influence on processing result of materials, therefore removing them can simplify scale of data and improve running speed.


According to further embodiments, the pre-processing of the historical processing data comprises selecting the historical processing data by high correlation filter, which removes historical processing data with collinearity, such data carries similar information, therefore removing such data simplifies data scale and improves running speed.


According to further embodiments, the pre-processing of the historical processing data comprises selecting the historical processing data by F_regression, which removes historical processing data with low correlation with the processing results of the materials.


It should be noted that, in further embodiments, the pre-processing comprises selecting the historical processing data by at least one of low variance filter, high correlation filter, and F_regression, specifically, the character of the historical processing data is determined firstly, such as correlations between the multiple types of historical processing data, then the method of pre-processing can be determined according to the character, such as historical processing data with high correlation coefficients should be processed by high correlation filter.


S103: creating a trained regression algorithm using the sample data.


Specifically, the trained regression algorithm is created by training an algorithm with the sample data, that is, the regression algorithm is created by performing machine learning with the historical processing data.


S104: obtaining preliminary emulated processing data by using the regression algorithm.


The preliminary emulated processing data comprises a preliminary emulated objective parameter and a plurality of emulated reference parameters.


Scale of the training data for training the algorithm is greatly increased by the preliminary emulated processing data obtained hereby and the historical processing data, which improves the accuracy of the algorithm. In further embodiments, the historical reference parameters of the historical processing data are processed by the regression algorithm to obtain the preliminary emulated objective parameters, and the historical reference parameters can be set as the emulated reference parameters, then the preliminary emulated objective parameter and the emulated reference parameters constitute the preliminary emulated processing data.


In further embodiments, new reference parameters different from the reference parameters of the historical processing data are included, for example, the new reference parameters and the reference parameters of the historical processing data are generated by the equipment of the same anodizing tank at different times, or the new reference parameters and the reference parameters of the historical processing data are generated by the equipments of different anodizing tanks. The regression mode is input with the new reference parameters for outputting the preliminary emulated objective parameters, and the new reference parameters can be regarded as the emulated reference parameters, then the preliminary emulated processing data comprised of the preliminary emulated objective parameters and the emulated reference parameters is obtained.


In further embodiments, the preliminary emulated processing data can be obtained by combining the above-mentioned two methods to obtain the preliminary emulated processing data by the regression algorithm. Firstly, the regression algorithm is input with the historical reference parameters for outputting a first preliminary emulated objective parameter, and the historical reference parameters can be set as first emulated reference parameters;


Secondly, new reference parameters are obtained and input into the regression algorithm for a second preliminary emulated objective parameter, the first emulated reference parameters and the second emulated reference parameters can be set as the emulated reference parameters and the first preliminary emulated objective parameters and the second preliminary emulated objective parameters can be set as the preliminary emulated objective parameter, then the preliminary emulated processing data is obtained by the preliminary emulated objective parameter and the emulated reference parameters.


In the preliminary processing data, the first preliminary emulated objective parameters are configured to correspond to the first emulated reference parameters, the second preliminary emulated objective parameters are configured to correspond to the second emulated reference parameters.


S105: receiving a predetermined objective parameter inputted by a user; adjusting the preliminary emulated objective parameters according to the predetermined objective parameter to obtain emulated objective parameters, the emulated reference parameters and the emulated objective parameter cooperatively constituting emulated processing data.


Wherein the preliminary emulated objective parameter is a preliminary estimated value obtained from the regression algorithm, which requires adjustment for improving accuracy, then the accuracy of the algorithm trained by these data can be improved.


In further embodiments, referring to FIG. 2, S105 further comprises:


S201: receiving a predetermined objective parameter inputted by a user;


S202: adjusting the preliminary emulated objective parameter according to the predetermined objective parameter to obtain an emulated objective parameter.


The predetermined objective parameter inputted by the user is a standard objective parameter, which is obtained according to experiences of experts or multiple tests or by debugging. The accuracy of the emulated objective parameter can be improved by combining the predetermined objective parameter inputted by the users and preliminary emulated objective parameters output by the regression algorithm.


In further embodiments, referring to FIG. 3, S202 further comprises:


S2021: acquiring preliminary processing results corresponding to the preliminary emulated objective parameter;


S2022: acquiring suggested processing results corresponding to the predetermined objective parameter;


S2023: determining a correction coefficient ‘a’ according to formula a = (predetermined objective parameter*preliminary processing result)/(preliminary emulated objective parameter*suggested processing result);


S2024: calculating the emulated objective parameter according to formula the emulated objective parameter=a* preliminary emulated objective parameter.


Therefore, the preliminary emulated objective parameters can be modified by the correction coefficient ‘a’ (which is the value of difference between the preliminary objective parameter and the predetermined objective parameter) for the emulated objective parameters.


In further embodiments, each regression algorithm outputs sub-objective parameter and each respective weight can be obtained, then the regression algorithms can be ranked by their weights and a certain number of regression algorithms with greater weights can be selected, then the predetermined objective parameter is inputted by the user, and the difference values between the predetermined objective parameter and the sub-objective parameters corresponding to the certain number of regression algorithms can be calculated, and the sub-objective parameter corresponding to the smallest difference value is determined as the preliminary objective parameter.


In further embodiments, each regression algorithm outputs respective sub-objective parameter and probability value, then the regression algorithms can be ranked by their probability values and a certain number of regression algorithms with greater probability values can be selected, then the predetermined objective parameter is inputted by the user, and the difference values between the predetermined objective parameter and the sub-objective parameters corresponding to the certain number of regression algorithms can be calculated, and the sub-objective parameter corresponding to the smallest difference value is determined as the preliminary objective parameter.


The certain number above-mentioned can be selected from 2, 3, or any number over 3.


S106: training a reinforcement learning algorithm by using the historical processing data and the emulated processing data.


Therefore, scale of training data for reinforcement learning process is increased by the emulated processing data, which is formed by adjusting the preliminary emulated processing data obtained from the regression algorithm. The reinforcement learning algorithm can be trained by the historical processing data and the new emulated processing data, and the accuracy of the reinforcement learning algorithm can be improved as the scale of the training data becomes greater.


In further embodiments, each historical reference parameter and emulated reference parameter comprises processing parameters and resulting parameters, wherein the processing parameters comprise setting parameters of the anodizing tank, such as concentration, pH value, and temperature of the dye in the anodizing tank, the resulting parameters comprises processing results of the materials in the anodizing tank, such as color value of the processed materials, whether the color of the processed material is qualified when compared to a predetermined color value, the yield rate of multiple racks of materials on one flybar, and so on. In correlations between the processing parameters, the resulting parameters, and the objective parameter, where two of the three parameters can be determined, the remaining one can also be determined.


According to a further embodiment, the objective parameter is associated with time duration of dyeing, the processing parameters are associated with the temperature and concentration of the dye, which can affect the time duration of dyeing.


Referring to FIG. 4, the method of training the reinforcement learning algorithm comprises:


S401: determining a state space according to the processing parameters of the historical reference parameters and the emulated reference parameters;


S402: determining an action space according to the historical objective parameter and the emulated objective parameter;


According to an embodiment, a discretized time duration of dyeing is taken as the action space.


S403: determining ranges of threshold values according to the resulting parameters of the historical reference parameters and the emulated reference parameters;


S404: determining a weight of each range of the threshold values and determining a reward space according to the weight of each range.


Exemplarily, the ranges of threshold values comprise (0, 3), (3, 5), (5, 8), wherein the range of (0, 3) has a weight of 0.2, the range of (3, 5) has a weight of 0.5, and the range of (5, 8) has a weight of 0.3. The range of (3, 5) is for a range that the resulting parameter identifies as qualifying materials, the ranges of (0, 3) and (5, 8) refer to ranges that the resulting parameter identifies as non-qualifying materials. For example, if the resulting parameter is 1, which is outside of the qualifying range of (3, 5) and falls in the non-qualifying range of (0, 3), then the reward should be (1-3)*0.2=-0.4, that is, equal to a punishment of 0.4; if the resulting parameter is 4.5, which falls inside the qualifying range of (3, 5), then the reward should be ⅟|(4.5-(3+5)/2)|*0.5=4. If the resulting parameter is 7, which is outside of the qualifying range of (3, 5) and falls in the non-qualifying range of (5, 8), then the reward should be -(7-5)*0.3=-0.6, that is, equal to a punishment of 0.6. Therefore, the objective parameter can be determined as qualifying or non-qualifying by different threshold value ranges, as the threshold value ranges have different weights, the objective parameter in different ranges can be reward or can be punishment accordingly, and the reward and punishment constitutes the reward space. For example, the resulting parameter 7 gets a more severe punishment than the resulting parameter 1, although they have same difference from the qualifying range, that means, in processing, compared to resulting parameters which are too large, the technique in the art prefers resulting parameters which are smaller.


The reinforcement learning algorithm can be determined according to the state space, the action space, and the reward space.


Therefore, reward/punishment for each objective parameter can be calculated according to the determined state space, action space, and reward space, then different actions can be performed in the action space for bigger reward, and the action with the biggest reward can be determined and regarded as the objective parameter.


According to further embodiments, the reinforcement learning algorithm is an integration of neural networks and Q-learning.


S107: obtaining actual reference parameters.


The actual reference parameters are parameters set and used during the processing of the anodizing tank, that is the aforementioned processing parameters.


S108: determining an actual objective parameter according to the actual reference parameters and the trained reinforcement learning algorithm.


Specifically, the reinforcement learning algorithm is inputted with the actual reference parameters for outputting the objective parameter, which can be set as the actual objective parameter.


Therefore, by creating the trained regression algorithm, the scale of the training data for the reinforcement learning algorithm is increased, and the accuracy of the reinforcement learning algorithm is improved.


The processing data of the equipment of the anodizing tank is unevenly distributed, such as being in several data groups, and if only one regression algorithm is used, the regression algorithm can fail to converge and will output low accuracy results. Therefore, in further embodiments, the method of training the regression algorithm by using the sample data comprises:


Classifying the sample data with an unsupervised clustering algorithm to obtain multiple sub-sample datasets;


Creating a regression algorithm for each sub-sample dataset using a supervised learning process and the data of multiple sub-sample.


The processing data can be clustered into multiple sub-sample datasets according to their distributions, the more clustered processing data is clustered into one cluster, then each of the multiple sub-sample datasets can be used for training a regression algorithm, the accuracy of the trained regression algorithms can be improved as each algorithm deals with only the corresponding cluster of sample datasets.


It should be noted that the unsupervised clustering algorithm is one type of clustering algorithm, in further embodiments, other unsupervised clustering algorithm can be used, such as K-means clustering algorithm, or DBSCAN (Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise) clustering algorithm. Sample data of different types may have overfitting or underfitting problems, and such issue can be overcome by clustering algorithm, further, since sample data of the anodizing tank has a small range of fluctuation and small scale, DBSCAN clustering algorithm can be used for recognizing outliers in the sample data.


The supervised algorithm trains a regression algorithm for each sub-sample dataset, and determines relationship between the reference parameters and the resulting parameters.


Optionally, the regression algorithms can be optimized by the supervised algorithm using a H2O AutoML equipment through automatic feature engineering and Bayesian search.


In further embodiments, the step of acquiring preliminary emulated processing data by the regression algorithm further comprises following steps.


Emulated reference parameters of the preliminary emulated processing data are obtained and similarities between the emulated reference parameters and the multiple sub-sample datasets are calculated.


The similarities indicate how similar the emulated reference parameters and the multiple sub-sample datasets are, which can be obtained by any one of methods such as Minkowski distance, Euclidean Distance, and Chebyshev distance.


The regression algorithms corresponding to the sub-sample datasets are selected according to the similarities.


Specifically, a threshold value of similarities is predetermined, the sub-sample datasets with similarities exceeding the threshold value can be selected. In further embodiments, users can select only the sub-sample dataset with the highest similarities or several sub-sample datasets with relatively high similarities.


Exemplarily, the threshold value of similarity is 0.3, the similarities between the emulated reference parameters and the 5 sub-sample datasets are 0.2, 0.3, 0.5, 0.4, and 0.2. In this case, the regression algorithm corresponding to the sub-sample datasets with similarities of 0.5 and 0.4 can be selected.


The preliminary emulated objective parameter is obtained according to the emulated reference parameters and the sub-sample datasets, the preliminary emulated objective parameter and the emulated reference parameters cooperatively constituting the preliminary emulated processing data.


In further embodiments, the historical processing data, the preliminary emulated processing data, and the emulated processing data is associated with anodic dyeing data; the historical reference parameters, the emulated reference parameters, and the actual reference parameters is associated with anodic dyeing parameter data; the historical objective parameters, the preliminary emulated objective parameters, and the actual objective parameter is associated with duration of dyeing data.


Optionally, the anodic dyeing parameter data comprises concentration of dyeing solution, temperature, pH value, and yield rate of the anodizing tank. It should be noted that, the resulting parameters of the historical reference parameters are existing data, and the resulting parameters of the actual reference parameters can be predetermined. For example, when the resulting data refers to yield rate, the actual objective parameter are output from the reinforcement learning algorithm, the resulting parameters of the actual reference parameters can be predetermined as a yield rate higher than 95%. In further embodiments, after inputting the emulated reference parameters and the actual reference parameters, instead of inputting the resulting parameters, the algorithm with better resulting parameters can be selected for calculating.
