The Artificial Neural Twin — Process optimization and continual learning in distributed process chains
Industrial process optimization and control is crucial to increase economic and ecologic efficiency. However, data sovereignty, differing goals, or the required expert knowledge for implementation impede holistic implementation. Further, the increasing use of data-driven AI-methods in process models and industrial sensory often requires regular fine-tuning to accommodate distribution drifts. We propose the Artificial Neural Twin, which combines concepts from model predictive control, deep learning, and sensor networks to address these issues. Our approach introduces decentral, differentiable data fusion to estimate the state of distributed process steps and their dependence on input data. By treating the interconnected process steps as a quasi neural-network, we can backpropagate loss gradients for process optimization or model fine-tuning to process parameters or AI models respectively. The concept is demonstrated on a virtual machine park simulated in Unity, consisting of bulk material processes in plastic recycling.
期刊介绍:
Neural Networks is a platform that aims to foster an international community of scholars and practitioners interested in neural networks, deep learning, and other approaches to artificial intelligence and machine learning. Our journal invites submissions covering various aspects of neural networks research, from computational neuroscience and cognitive modeling to mathematical analyses and engineering applications. By providing a forum for interdisciplinary discussions between biology and technology, we aim to encourage the development of biologically-inspired artificial intelligence.
