Abstract
Due to the challenge of collecting a substantial amount of production-quality data in real-world industrial settings, the implementation of production quality prediction models based on deep learning is not effective. To achieve the goal of predicting production quality with limited data and address the issue of model degradation in the training process of deep learning networks, we propose Meta-Learning based on Residual Network (MLRN) models for production quality prediction with limited data. Firstly, the MLRN model is trained on a variety of learning tasks to acquire knowledge for predicting production quality. Furthermore, to obtain more features with limited data and avoid the issues of gradient disappearing or exploding in deep network training, the enhanced residual network with the effective channel attention (ECA) mechanism is chosen as the basic network structure of MLRN. Additionally, a multi-batch and multi-task data input approach is implemented to prevent overfitting. Finally, the availability of the MLRN model is demonstrated by comparing it with other models using both numerical and graphical datasets.
