A Deep Learning Approach to Soft Sensor Design and Process Optimization for an Industrial Nickel Extraction Process$75.0Kvalue2018start2019end

The objective of this project is to use artificial intelligence (AI) approaches to solve complex industrial problems. The two biggest advantages of AI-based approaches are the ability to continuously learn and also learn adequately from historical data. Traditionally, many process information are unmeasurable during live operations because of instrumentation limitations. Also, plants are not sufficiently optimized to maximize production quality, while minimizing waste. Using AI-based approaches, we can develop complex non-linear models from historical to predict the unmeasurable process inf
