Abstract
In industrial environments, slurry density detection models often suffer from performance degradation due to concept drift. To address this, this article proposes an intelligent detection method tailored for slurry density in concept drift data streams. The method begins by building a model using Gaussian process regression (GPR) combined with regularized stochastic configuration. A sliding window-based online GPR is then applied to update the linear model's parameters, while a forgetting mechanism enables online recursive updates for the nonlinear model. Network pruning and stochastic configuration techniques dynamically adjust the nonlinear model's structure. These approaches enhance the mechanistic model's ability to capture dynamic relationships and reduce the data-driven model's reliance on outdated data. By focusing on recent data to reflect current operating conditions, the method effectively mitigates concept drift in complex process data. Additionally, the method is applied in industrial settings through collaborative computing, ensuring real-time slurry density detection and model adaptability. Experimental results on industrial data show that the proposed method outperforms other algorithms in all density estimation metrics, significantly improving slurry density detection accuracy.
