A self-supervised temporal temperature prediction method based on dilated contrastive learning

Due to the scarcity of the labeled data, traditional supervised learning methods have a limited application scope, which caused the supervised-based model performance will greatly be decreased. In this paper, we propose a promising model based on self-supervised learning. To update the weight and the contrastive relation in the features, a new self-supervised loss, is introduced. First, the convolution neural network is used in the proposed network to extract the deep feature in the first processing. Second, the self-supervised long–short time memory (LSTM) sequential is constructed for further deal. At last, the teacher net and student net have coordinately fine-tuned the credibility of the temperature prediction. By the experimental comparison, our proposed CNN-SSDLSTM is competitive with other supervised and semi-supervised methods. The evaluation experiments achieve state-of-the-art performance in aluminum electrolysis temperature prediction applications.
