Industrial Transfer Learning: Boosting Machine Learning in Production

Tercan, Hasan, Guajardo, Alexandro, Meisen, Tobias·2019·2019 IEEE 17th International Conference on Industrial Informatics (INDIN)

Abstract

In the field of production, machine learning offers great potentials to develop innovative solutions for optimization or automation. However, it faces challenges with regard to the availability of data and the high training effort of the learning models in the event of changes in the production process. In this paper, we address these challenges by introducing deep transfer learning for production. We demonstrate its potentials and benefits in a real application for predictive quality in injection molding and propose a novel approach for the continual training of neural networks across manufactured products. By creating a neural network that leverages knowledge from previous products without forgetting them, the approach shows better learning rates and more accurate predictions while requiring much less data for training. Our code is publicly available1to reproduce our results and build upon them.

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.
