Machine learning applications in minerals processing: A review

McCoy, J.T., Auret, L.·2019·Minerals Engineering

Abstract

Abstract Machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques have an ever-increasing presence and impact on a wide-variety of research and commercial fields. Disappointed by previous hype cycles, researchers and industrial practitioners may be wary of overpromising and underdelivering techniques. This review aims at equipping researchers and industrial practitioners with structured knowledge on the state of machine learning applications in mineral processing: the supplementary material provides a searchable summary of all techniques reviewed, with fields including nature of case study data (synthetic/laboratory/industrial), level of success, area of application (e.g. milling, flotation, etc), and major problem category (data-based modelling, fault detection and diagnosis, and machine vision). Future directions are proposed, including suggestions on data collection, technique comparison, industrial participation, cost-benefit analyses and the future of mineral engineering training.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
