Machine Learning In Python For Process Systems Engineering

Machine Learning in Python for Process Systems Engineering

This book provides an application-focused exposition of modern ML tools that have proven useful in process industry and hands-on illustrations on how to develop ML-based solutions for process monitoring, predictive maintenance, fault diagnosis, inferential modeling, dimensionality reduction, and process control. This book considers unique characteristics of industrial process data and uses real data from industrial systems for illustrations. With the focus on practical implementation and minimal programming or ML prerequisites, the book covers the gap in available ML resources for industrial practitioners. The authors of this book have drawn from their years of experience in developing data-driven industrial solutions to provide a guided tour along the wide range of available ML methods and declutter the world of machine learning. The readers will find all the resources they need to deal with high-dimensional, correlated, noisy, corrupted, multimode, and nonlinear process data. The book has been divided into four parts. Part 1 provides a perspective on the importance of ML in process systems engineering and lays down the basic foundations of ML. Part 2 provides in-detail presentation of classical ML techniques and has been written keeping in mind the various characteristics of industrial process systems. Part 3 is focused on artificial neural networks and deep learning. Part 4 covers the important topic of deploying ML solutions over web and shows how to build a production-ready process monitoring web application. Broadly, the book covers the following: Varied applications of ML in process industry Fundamentals of machine learning workflow Practical methodologies for pre-processing industrial data Classical ML methods and their application for process monitoring, fault diagnosis, and soft sensing Deep learning and its application for predictive maintenance Reinforcement learning and its application for process control Deployment of ML solution over web

Machine Learning in Python for Dynamic Process Systems

This book is designed to help readers gain a working-level knowledge of machine learning-based dynamic process modeling techniques that have proven useful in process industry. Readers can leverage the concepts learned to build advanced solutions for process monitoring, soft sensing, inferential modeling, predictive maintenance, and process control for dynamic systems. The application-focused approach of the book is reader friendly and easily digestible to the practicing and aspiring process engineers, and data scientists. The authors of this book have drawn from their years of experience in developing data-driven industrial solutions to provide a guided tour along the wide range of available ML methods and declutter the world of machine learning for dynamic process modeling. Upon completion, readers will be able to confidently navigate the system identification literature and make judicious selection of modeling approaches suitable for their problems. This book has been divided into three parts. Part 1 of the book provides perspectives on the importance of ML for dynamic process modeling and lays down the basic foundations of ML-DPM (machine learning for dynamic process modeling). Part 2 provides in-detail presentation of classical ML techniques and has been written keeping in mind the different modeling requirements and process characteristics that determine a model’s suitability for a problem at hand. These include, amongst others, presence of multiple correlated outputs, process nonlinearity, need for low model bias, need to model disturbance signal accurately, etc. Part 3 is focused on artificial neural networks and deep learning. The following topics are broadly covered: · Exploratory analysis of dynamic dataset · Best practices for dynamic modeling · Linear and discrete-time classical parametric and non-parametric models · State-space models for MIMO systems · Nonlinear system identification and closed-loop identification · Neural networks-based dynamic process modeling
