Fuzzy Classifier Design for Development Tendency of Hot Metal Silicon Content in Blast Furnace

Abstract

Since the hot metal silicon content simultaneously reflects the product quality and the thermal state of the blast furnace, accurately predicting the development tendency of hot metal silicon content has the immensely guiding role for blast furnace operators. This paper focuses on fuzzy classifier design for the development tendency of hot metal silicon content based on blast furnace operation data. The cross characteristic of binary classification problem was found via embedding high-dimensional blast furnace data into a two-dimensional space. Then, presented a nonparallel hyperplanes based fuzzy classifier, which conquered the cross classification still holding the interpretability advantage as fuzzy classifier. The proposed method was tested on No.2 blast furnace of Liuzhou Steel in China, that demonstrated the excellent performance compared with some other classifier algorithms.
