1 Introduction
Due to the randomicity and complexity of undergroundgeological conditions assessment of shearer health conditionwould present the characteristics of complexity fuzzinessand uncertainty and this may affect the coal production oreven endanger the operatorrsquos life Moreover because of thepoormining environment and complex component structureof shearer the shearer operator cannot accurately estimate theworking status of shearer which may lead to some problemsof poor coal quality and low mining efficiency Furthermorean increasing number of safety accidents in collieries arecaused frequently Therefore it is necessary to assess thedynamic health condition of shearer which has become achallenging and significant research subject [1]
Depending on the assessment of the health condition ofshearer this can reduce operating trouble and productionaccident of shearer and improve production efficiency fur-ther In recent years many researches have brought outsome achievement on shearer health condition diagnosis
The multiple fault classifier based on the improved supportvector machine theory is used to judge the fault types of coalshearer [2] In [3] a correct and timely diagnosis mechanismof shearer failures by knowledge acquisition through a fuzzyinference system is provided which can approximate expertexperience Althoughmany research achievements have beenproposed they have some common shortcomings summa-rized as follows Firstly most research cannot confirm thehealth degree clearly Moreover it costs long diagnosis timeand cannot be used in real-time health assessment
Dynamic health assessment was used in spacecraft prim-arily in the 1970s At present domestic and abroad researchershave worked on the modeling approaches for dynamic healthassessment and proposed several solutions The density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise has beenused for bearingsrsquo condition monitoring [4] and a novelonline method based on dynamic Bayesian networks (DBNs)for the estimation of the SOH of lithium- (Li-) ion bat-teries has been presented [5] and so on However due to

the complex component structure and bad working con-dition there has not been a health assessment concepton shearer and this paper tries to present it In the realmining condition some key index parameters have a strongrelationship with shearer health condition The relationshipis highly nonlinear in nature so that it is hard to developa comprehensive mathematic model The current methodsand mature assessment systems are hardly satisfied with theshearer health state assessment In this paper we try topropose a novel prediction approach for shearer dynamichealth assessment to identify the health state during coalmining
The first mathematical model in artificial immune systemwas proposed in 1974 which initiated subsequent researchesand discussions Artificial immune system (AIS) as a novelintelligent algorithm method inspired from the biologicalimmune system is an effective means for prediction [6ndash8] The AIS can acquire learning capability by learningthe biological protection principle According to the aboveanalysis a novel prediction approach for shearer dynamichealth assessment based on artificial immune algorithm isproposed and the assessment system is validated by thesample data of operating parameters from industrial pro-duction scene Moreover it will prove that artificial immunealgorithm is a better tool for classifying due to its classificationaccuracy than the classifiers based on back propagation-neural network (BP-NN) and support vectormachine (SVM)methods later
The remainder of this paper is organized as follows Somerelated works are outlined in Section 2 The key technologiessuch as system framework selecting the indicators for shearerdynamic health assessment and the proposed approach arepresented in Section 3 Section 4 provides a simulation exam-ple and an industrial application example for shearer dynamichealth assessment based on the proposed approach to specifythe application effect Our conclusions are summarized inSection 5

3 The Dynamic Health Assessment ApproachBased on Artificial Immune Algorithm
31 The Framework of the Proposed Approach Some real-time running indicators of shearer are usually used to classifythe health condition of shearer since the signals can describeits dynamic characteristics In order to identify the dynamichealth status of shearer the following three processes arerequiredThese processes are assessment indicators selectingdata acquisition and initialization and multiclass classifierstraining and testing The proposed condition classificationapproach for shearer dynamic health state is shown inFigure 1 The approach mainly consists of three critical stepsindicators selecting data initialization and data training andclassification Firstly choosing the most effective indicatorsto assess the health condition of shearer is important sinceexcessive assessment indicators will reduce the impact ofmain indicators and cause an incorrect result Then all theobject data in the schema object set are normalized so theattribute value is within the unit interval [0 1] and the sampledata are divided into four types Finally the artificial immune
algorithm is used to classify the dynamic health status ofshearer
32 Selecting the Assessment Indicators The system of sheareris made up by many subsystems Establishing a scientificand reasonable evaluation system is the foundation of thehealth state evaluation for shearer Depending on the actualoperation situation of shearer and referencing other healthassessment systems the assessment consequences for shearerhealth can be divided into four typical modes normal modetransition mode abnormal mode and danger mode Thedefinition of each type of operation is given as follows
Normal Mode During the working process the health indi-cators of shearer change a little and are all in normal rangeThe shearer works normally
Transition Mode During the working process one or twohealth indicators of shearer have a wide range change occa-sionally and are not up to the danger line The shearer worksnormally andmeanwhile the worker of shearermust discoverthe problem and solve it
Abnormal Mode During the working process some of thehealth indicators of shearer have a wide range change persis-tently and are not up to the danger lineTheworker of shearershould stop coal production before returning it to normal
Dangerous Mode During the working process some of thehealth indicators of shearer have a sudden change and areup to the danger line The worker of shearer should stop coalproduction immediately
By setting malfunction threshold value depending onoperation situation four modes of shearer health situationdecrease progressively Four different healthmodes can guidecoal worker adopting corresponding operation respectively
The system of shearer is made up by many subsystemsThe data from historical recording and real-time monitoringof the subsystems reflect the health status of shearer moreor less However in practical application we must choosethe most effective indicators to assess the health situationof shearer and eliminate subordinate indicators as excessiveassessment indicators will reduce the impact of the mainindicators causing an incorrect result According to theexpert experience and actual working condition of shearerthe dynamic health condition depends on the real-timemonitoring data In this paper the key content is the real-time health assessment of shearerThus to assess the dynamichealth situation of shearer we choose nine real-time runningindicators the pulling speed 119901

rent 1199012and the left cuttingmotor current 119901

and the left pulling motor temperature 1199019 There are test data
showing that the pulling speed has a mapping relation withworking load of shearerMonitoring the change of the pullingspeed can reflect the working load in a degree Moreover asthemost important information on judging shearer operating

state the cuttingmotor current and the pullingmotor currentcan be influenced by the pulling speed the cutting drumheight the working load the coal-rock characteristic andso on The difference between the two currents is that thecutting motor current has a direct proportion with workingload while the pulling motor current can comprehensivelycharacterize the pulling resistance Finally the slow changeof the cutting motor temperature and the pulling motortemperature can represent the general state of working loadand pulling load over a period of time The nine indicatorscan reflect the shearer operation state clearly The assessmentindicators of dynamic health assessment model for shearercan be shown in Figure 2

by the 119894th detector (119877119894) excepting the self-class object (the

34 Establishing the Assessment Model In this section theflows for establishing the dynamic health assessment modelbased on artificial immune algorithm are provided in detailIt mainly includes three steps
341 Data Initialization This step can be regarded as a datapreprocessing stage Each schema object is represented as a9-dimensional vector (119901 119888) = (119901

object data of assessment indicators in the schema objectset are normalized so the attribute value is within the unit
interval [0 1] and 119901119894isin (0 1) To correspond to the four
patterns of shearer dynamic health assessment consequencesthe training data of schema object set are divided into fourtypes normal mode (119863
1) transition mode (119863
2) abnormal
mode (1198633) and danger mode (119863

342 Training Detectors Set The purpose of training stage isgenerating an effective detector for each schema object Thesteps for generating detector are given as follows
Step 1 Take preprocessed 119863119894as self-data set 119863self 119863self =
119863119894 so non-self-data set 119863nonself was made up by the other

Step 2 Generate random alternative detectors set 1198771015840
Step 3 Calculate affinity between 1198771015840 and 119863self if affinity(119901119894

Step 4 Calculate affinity between 1198771015840 and 119863nonself ifaffinity(119901

Step 5 Delete the individual from 119863nonself if it can berecognized by 1198771015840
Step 6 If 119863nonself = 0 detector 119877119894 is accomplished anditeration is finished 119877

randomly chosen to train the detectors set and the last 200groups were used to test the classification performance of thetrained detectors
After the assessment model based on artificial immunealgorithm was trained the multiclass classifiers of the assess-ment system were constituted by four detectors and eachdetector only could not recognize corresponding class objectof particular assessment consequence mode Actually if theinput schema object only could not be recognized by onedetector then the schema object belongs to this class object
After the training phase an assessment system could beobtained In order to verify the accuracy of the model theremaining 200 samples were utilized to test its performanceThe prediction consequence was given as in Figure 6 Asshown in Figure 6 only eight testing samples were mis-classified and circled in red The ordinate values 1 2 3and 4 corresponded to four assessment consequences ofshearer dynamic health modes and identification accuraciesof four detectors were 96 94 98 and 96 respectivelyThe overall average classification accuracy was 96 whichsatisfied the engineering requirement The testing resultsindicated that the proposed approach performed with lowerdeviation and could be applied in the assessment of shearerdynamic health
In order to indicate the meliority of assessment modelbased on artificial immune algorithm the assessment modelbased on back propagation-neural network (BP-NN) andsupport vector machine (SVM) was provided to solve theproblem of the above example The training samples andtesting samples were the same The configurations of simu-lation environment for three algorithms were uniform andthe relevant parameters were in common with the aboveexample The prediction consequence of the assessmentmodel based on BP-NN was given as in Figure 7 As shownin Figure 7 twenty-one testing samples were misclassifiedand some samples had a large deviation to real situationsThe classification accuracies for four health modes were90 86 90 and 92 and overall average classificationaccuracy was 895

Figure 8 Classification results of the classifier based on SVM
The prediction consequence of the assessment modelbased on SVM was given as in Figure 8 As shown inFigure 8 twenty-three testing samples were misclassifiedand some samples had a large deviation to real situationsThe classification accuracies for four health modes were92 86 88 and 90 and overall average classificationaccuracy was 885 It was observed that the proposedmethod had a better classification capability and performancethan the competing methods With the benefits of artificialimmune algorithm in uncertain fields the proposed classifiercould obtain higher classification accuracy than single BP-NN and SVM classifiers
42 Further Discussion In order to further compare andanalyze the overall performance of SVM BP-NN and AI thesame 1200 samples are experimented with In this examplea certain number of samples denoted by training size (119879size)are randomly selected from the data as the training samplesand 200 samples are randomly selected from the remaining1200 minus 119879size samples as the testing samples Each learningalgorithm is then trained and tested 200 times and theclassification error rate is recorded as the final result In this

Figure 9 The changes of classification error rate with different training sizes
study the training size of the example varies over 119879size =100 120 140 160 1000 That is to say we run severaltrials over the algorithms with training size ranging from100 to 1000 The classification error rate 119898119899 (where 119898 isthe classification error times and 119899 is the total test times) ischosen as the metric to express the result as a proportion ofthe optimal solution
Figure 9 plots themeans of thismetric (classification errorrate) for each trial as a function of problem size 119879size It canbe seen that for all trials the classification error rate decreasesnonlinearly with 119879size and the classification accuracy of AIoutperforms BP-NN and SVM for all 119879size
From Figure 9 it is obvious that the classification errorrate descent velocity of AI is the fastest across different train-ing sizes and owns stronger generalization ability than BP-NN and SVM regardless of the training size What is morethe classification accuracy of AI is more supernal and robustTherefore the AI algorithm can obtain a relatively highaccuracy to provide an effective support tool for dynamichealth assessment for shearer

In order to illustrate the application effect of the proposedapproach the shearer was running in fully mechanized coalface from 1350m to 1500m by the manual operation Thedynamic health assessment curve based on the proposedclassifier was shown in Figure 11 and the ordinate valuesof 1 2 3 and 4 denoted four health classes normal modetransition mode abnormal mode and danger mode Thecurve showed two obvious changes in segments A and BTheordinate values were leaped from 1 to 3 which means thatthe shearer health status had a sudden change from normalmode to abnormal mode The changes of some operationalparameters were plotted in Figure 12 The cutting motorcurrent had a noticeable increasewhen the right cutting drumcut the floor between 1350m and 1385m and the left cuttingdrum cut the roof between 1460m and 1480m The resultsof shearer dynamic health assessment based on the proposedsystem were almost completely consistent with the actualcutting status of shearer

the complex component structure and bad working con-dition there has not been a health assessment concepton shearer and this paper tries to present it In the realmining condition some key index parameters have a strongrelationship with shearer health condition The relationshipis highly nonlinear in nature so that it is hard to developa comprehensive mathematic model The current methodsand mature assessment systems are hardly satisfied with theshearer health state assessment In this paper we try topropose a novel prediction approach for shearer dynamichealth assessment to identify the health state during coalmining
The first mathematical model in artificial immune systemwas proposed in 1974 which initiated subsequent researchesand discussions Artificial immune system (AIS) as a novelintelligent algorithm method inspired from the biologicalimmune system is an effective means for prediction [6ndash8] The AIS can acquire learning capability by learningthe biological protection principle According to the aboveanalysis a novel prediction approach for shearer dynamichealth assessment based on artificial immune algorithm isproposed and the assessment system is validated by thesample data of operating parameters from industrial pro-duction scene Moreover it will prove that artificial immunealgorithm is a better tool for classifying due to its classificationaccuracy than the classifiers based on back propagation-neural network (BP-NN) and support vectormachine (SVM)methods later

23 Discussion According to the above researches manyhealth assessment methods such as density-based spatialclustering and dynamic Bayesian networks have been appliedin the bearingsrsquo condition monitoring network devicedynamic health monitoring and so on But there are still norelevant studies on the dynamic health assessment methodsfor shearer Considering the superiority and universality ofartificial immune algorithm this paper prepares to use thisAI algorithm to predict the dynamic health status of shearerA simulation experiment and an application example arecarried out and the proposed approach is proved to be feasibleand efficient
3 The Dynamic Health Assessment ApproachBased on Artificial Immune Algorithm
31 The Framework of the Proposed Approach Some real-time running indicators of shearer are usually used to classifythe health condition of shearer since the signals can describeits dynamic characteristics In order to identify the dynamichealth status of shearer the following three processes arerequiredThese processes are assessment indicators selectingdata acquisition and initialization and multiclass classifierstraining and testing The proposed condition classificationapproach for shearer dynamic health state is shown inFigure 1 The approach mainly consists of three critical stepsindicators selecting data initialization and data training andclassification Firstly choosing the most effective indicatorsto assess the health condition of shearer is important sinceexcessive assessment indicators will reduce the impact ofmain indicators and cause an incorrect result Then all theobject data in the schema object set are normalized so theattribute value is within the unit interval [0 1] and the sampledata are divided into four types Finally the artificial immune
algorithm is used to classify the dynamic health status ofshearer
32 Selecting the Assessment Indicators The system of sheareris made up by many subsystems Establishing a scientificand reasonable evaluation system is the foundation of thehealth state evaluation for shearer Depending on the actualoperation situation of shearer and referencing other healthassessment systems the assessment consequences for shearerhealth can be divided into four typical modes normal modetransition mode abnormal mode and danger mode Thedefinition of each type of operation is given as follows
Normal Mode During the working process the health indi-cators of shearer change a little and are all in normal rangeThe shearer works normally
Transition Mode During the working process one or twohealth indicators of shearer have a wide range change occa-sionally and are not up to the danger line The shearer worksnormally andmeanwhile the worker of shearermust discoverthe problem and solve it
Abnormal Mode During the working process some of thehealth indicators of shearer have a wide range change persis-tently and are not up to the danger lineTheworker of shearershould stop coal production before returning it to normal
Dangerous Mode During the working process some of thehealth indicators of shearer have a sudden change and areup to the danger line The worker of shearer should stop coalproduction immediately
By setting malfunction threshold value depending onoperation situation four modes of shearer health situationdecrease progressively Four different healthmodes can guidecoal worker adopting corresponding operation respectively
The system of shearer is made up by many subsystemsThe data from historical recording and real-time monitoringof the subsystems reflect the health status of shearer moreor less However in practical application we must choosethe most effective indicators to assess the health situationof shearer and eliminate subordinate indicators as excessiveassessment indicators will reduce the impact of the mainindicators causing an incorrect result According to theexpert experience and actual working condition of shearerthe dynamic health condition depends on the real-timemonitoring data In this paper the key content is the real-time health assessment of shearerThus to assess the dynamichealth situation of shearer we choose nine real-time runningindicators the pulling speed 119901

state the cuttingmotor current and the pullingmotor currentcan be influenced by the pulling speed the cutting drumheight the working load the coal-rock characteristic andso on The difference between the two currents is that thecutting motor current has a direct proportion with workingload while the pulling motor current can comprehensivelycharacterize the pulling resistance Finally the slow changeof the cutting motor temperature and the pulling motortemperature can represent the general state of working loadand pulling load over a period of time The nine indicatorscan reflect the shearer operation state clearly The assessmentindicators of dynamic health assessment model for shearercan be shown in Figure 2
33 Defining Detectors Set According to the nine indicatorsof shearer dynamic health assessment approach definedabove we can determine the unknown schema object 1199011015840for nine-dimensional attribute space shown in detail inDefinition 1 Corresponding to the four modes of shearerdynamic health assessment consequences multiclass classi-fiers are constituted by four detectors normal mode (119862

by the 119894th detector (119877119894) excepting the self-class object (the
schema object of class 119862119894) In other words each detector only
cannot recognize the corresponding class object of particularassessment consequence modeThe immune classifier modelof dynamic health assessment for shearer is shown in Figure 3
Before establishing the dynamic health assessment modelbased on artificial immune algorithm the related definitionsof multiclass classifiers are given as follows

Definition 5 120597detection is a testing threshold for detectors setThe value of testing threshold is the key to correctly classifydetectors as it decides which detectors should be activated inthe step of testing
34 Establishing the Assessment Model In this section theflows for establishing the dynamic health assessment modelbased on artificial immune algorithm are provided in detailIt mainly includes three steps
341 Data Initialization This step can be regarded as a datapreprocessing stage Each schema object is represented as a9-dimensional vector (119901 119888) = (119901
1 1199012 119901
9 119888) 119901 isin 119875 All
object data of assessment indicators in the schema objectset are normalized so the attribute value is within the unit
interval [0 1] and 119901119894isin (0 1) To correspond to the four
patterns of shearer dynamic health assessment consequencesthe training data of schema object set are divided into fourtypes normal mode (119863
1) transition mode (119863
2) abnormal
mode (1198633) and danger mode (119863

342 Training Detectors Set The purpose of training stage isgenerating an effective detector for each schema object Thesteps for generating detector are given as follows
Step 1 Take preprocessed 119863119894as self-data set 119863self 119863self =
119863119894 so non-self-data set 119863nonself was made up by the other
preprocessed data sets 119863nonself = 1198631 cup sdot sdot sdot cup 119863119894minus1 cup 119863119894+1 cupsdot sdot sdot cup 119863

119894= 0
Step 2 Generate random alternative detectors set 1198771015840
Step 3 Calculate affinity between 1198771015840 and 119863self if affinity(119901119894
119903119895) gt 120597selection delete 119903119895 from 119877
1015840 (negative selection)
Step 4 Calculate affinity between 1198771015840 and 119863nonself ifaffinity(119901
119894 119903119895) lt 120597selection delete 119903
119895from 1198771015840 (positive
selection)
Step 5 Delete the individual from 119863nonself if it can berecognized by 1198771015840
Step 6 If 119863nonself = 0 detector 119877119894 is accomplished anditeration is finished 119877
119894= 119877119894cup 1198771015840 otherwise turn back to

randomly chosen to train the detectors set and the last 200groups were used to test the classification performance of thetrained detectors
After the assessment model based on artificial immunealgorithm was trained the multiclass classifiers of the assess-ment system were constituted by four detectors and eachdetector only could not recognize corresponding class objectof particular assessment consequence mode Actually if theinput schema object only could not be recognized by onedetector then the schema object belongs to this class object
After the training phase an assessment system could beobtained In order to verify the accuracy of the model theremaining 200 samples were utilized to test its performanceThe prediction consequence was given as in Figure 6 Asshown in Figure 6 only eight testing samples were mis-classified and circled in red The ordinate values 1 2 3and 4 corresponded to four assessment consequences ofshearer dynamic health modes and identification accuraciesof four detectors were 96 94 98 and 96 respectivelyThe overall average classification accuracy was 96 whichsatisfied the engineering requirement The testing resultsindicated that the proposed approach performed with lowerdeviation and could be applied in the assessment of shearerdynamic health
In order to indicate the meliority of assessment modelbased on artificial immune algorithm the assessment modelbased on back propagation-neural network (BP-NN) andsupport vector machine (SVM) was provided to solve theproblem of the above example The training samples andtesting samples were the same The configurations of simu-lation environment for three algorithms were uniform andthe relevant parameters were in common with the aboveexample The prediction consequence of the assessmentmodel based on BP-NN was given as in Figure 7 As shownin Figure 7 twenty-one testing samples were misclassifiedand some samples had a large deviation to real situationsThe classification accuracies for four health modes were90 86 90 and 92 and overall average classificationaccuracy was 895

Figure 8 Classification results of the classifier based on SVM
The prediction consequence of the assessment modelbased on SVM was given as in Figure 8 As shown inFigure 8 twenty-three testing samples were misclassifiedand some samples had a large deviation to real situationsThe classification accuracies for four health modes were92 86 88 and 90 and overall average classificationaccuracy was 885 It was observed that the proposedmethod had a better classification capability and performancethan the competing methods With the benefits of artificialimmune algorithm in uncertain fields the proposed classifiercould obtain higher classification accuracy than single BP-NN and SVM classifiers
42 Further Discussion In order to further compare andanalyze the overall performance of SVM BP-NN and AI thesame 1200 samples are experimented with In this examplea certain number of samples denoted by training size (119879size)are randomly selected from the data as the training samplesand 200 samples are randomly selected from the remaining1200 minus 119879size samples as the testing samples Each learningalgorithm is then trained and tested 200 times and theclassification error rate is recorded as the final result In this

Figure 9 The changes of classification error rate with different training sizes
study the training size of the example varies over 119879size =100 120 140 160 1000 That is to say we run severaltrials over the algorithms with training size ranging from100 to 1000 The classification error rate 119898119899 (where 119898 isthe classification error times and 119899 is the total test times) ischosen as the metric to express the result as a proportion ofthe optimal solution
Figure 9 plots themeans of thismetric (classification errorrate) for each trial as a function of problem size 119879size It canbe seen that for all trials the classification error rate decreasesnonlinearly with 119879size and the classification accuracy of AIoutperforms BP-NN and SVM for all 119879size
From Figure 9 it is obvious that the classification errorrate descent velocity of AI is the fastest across different train-ing sizes and owns stronger generalization ability than BP-NN and SVM regardless of the training size What is morethe classification accuracy of AI is more supernal and robustTherefore the AI algorithm can obtain a relatively highaccuracy to provide an effective support tool for dynamichealth assessment for shearer
43 Industrial Application In this section a system based onthe proposed approach had been developed and applied inthe field of shearer dynamic health assessment as shown inFigure 10
As Figure 10 showed the ldquogateway controllerrdquo andldquoground monitoring centerrdquo were used to control and moni-tor the shearer running parameters The system based on theproposed approach was uploaded into the gateway controllerThe pulling speed the left cutting motor current the rightcuttingmotor current the left pullingmotor current the right
pulling motor current the left cutting motor temperaturethe right cutting motor temperature the left pulling motortemperature and the right pulling motor temperature werecollected every 1Hz from the shearer controller and thecollected data were transmitted to the gateway controllerThen the changes of shearer dynamic health assessmentconsequence were identified and showed on ldquomonitoringinterface for shearer dynamic health assessmentrdquo
In order to illustrate the application effect of the proposedapproach the shearer was running in fully mechanized coalface from 1350m to 1500m by the manual operation Thedynamic health assessment curve based on the proposedclassifier was shown in Figure 11 and the ordinate valuesof 1 2 3 and 4 denoted four health classes normal modetransition mode abnormal mode and danger mode Thecurve showed two obvious changes in segments A and BTheordinate values were leaped from 1 to 3 which means thatthe shearer health status had a sudden change from normalmode to abnormal mode The changes of some operationalparameters were plotted in Figure 12 The cutting motorcurrent had a noticeable increasewhen the right cutting drumcut the floor between 1350m and 1385m and the left cuttingdrum cut the roof between 1460m and 1480m The resultsof shearer dynamic health assessment based on the proposedsystem were almost completely consistent with the actualcutting status of shearer

23 Discussion According to the above researches manyhealth assessment methods such as density-based spatialclustering and dynamic Bayesian networks have been appliedin the bearingsrsquo condition monitoring network devicedynamic health monitoring and so on But there are still norelevant studies on the dynamic health assessment methodsfor shearer Considering the superiority and universality ofartificial immune algorithm this paper prepares to use thisAI algorithm to predict the dynamic health status of shearerA simulation experiment and an application example arecarried out and the proposed approach is proved to be feasibleand efficient
3 The Dynamic Health Assessment ApproachBased on Artificial Immune Algorithm
31 The Framework of the Proposed Approach Some real-time running indicators of shearer are usually used to classifythe health condition of shearer since the signals can describeits dynamic characteristics In order to identify the dynamichealth status of shearer the following three processes arerequiredThese processes are assessment indicators selectingdata acquisition and initialization and multiclass classifierstraining and testing The proposed condition classificationapproach for shearer dynamic health state is shown inFigure 1 The approach mainly consists of three critical stepsindicators selecting data initialization and data training andclassification Firstly choosing the most effective indicatorsto assess the health condition of shearer is important sinceexcessive assessment indicators will reduce the impact ofmain indicators and cause an incorrect result Then all theobject data in the schema object set are normalized so theattribute value is within the unit interval [0 1] and the sampledata are divided into four types Finally the artificial immune
algorithm is used to classify the dynamic health status ofshearer
32 Selecting the Assessment Indicators The system of sheareris made up by many subsystems Establishing a scientificand reasonable evaluation system is the foundation of thehealth state evaluation for shearer Depending on the actualoperation situation of shearer and referencing other healthassessment systems the assessment consequences for shearerhealth can be divided into four typical modes normal modetransition mode abnormal mode and danger mode Thedefinition of each type of operation is given as follows
Normal Mode During the working process the health indi-cators of shearer change a little and are all in normal rangeThe shearer works normally
Transition Mode During the working process one or twohealth indicators of shearer have a wide range change occa-sionally and are not up to the danger line The shearer worksnormally andmeanwhile the worker of shearermust discoverthe problem and solve it
Abnormal Mode During the working process some of thehealth indicators of shearer have a wide range change persis-tently and are not up to the danger lineTheworker of shearershould stop coal production before returning it to normal
Dangerous Mode During the working process some of thehealth indicators of shearer have a sudden change and areup to the danger line The worker of shearer should stop coalproduction immediately
By setting malfunction threshold value depending onoperation situation four modes of shearer health situationdecrease progressively Four different healthmodes can guidecoal worker adopting corresponding operation respectively
The system of shearer is made up by many subsystemsThe data from historical recording and real-time monitoringof the subsystems reflect the health status of shearer moreor less However in practical application we must choosethe most effective indicators to assess the health situationof shearer and eliminate subordinate indicators as excessiveassessment indicators will reduce the impact of the mainindicators causing an incorrect result According to theexpert experience and actual working condition of shearerthe dynamic health condition depends on the real-timemonitoring data In this paper the key content is the real-time health assessment of shearerThus to assess the dynamichealth situation of shearer we choose nine real-time runningindicators the pulling speed 119901
1 the right cutting motor cur-
rent 1199012and the left cuttingmotor current 119901
3 the right pulling
motor current 1199014and the left pulling motor current 119901

right cuttingmotor temperature 1199016and the left cuttingmotor
temperature 1199017 and the right pulling motor temperature 119901

and the left pulling motor temperature 1199019 There are test data
showing that the pulling speed has a mapping relation withworking load of shearerMonitoring the change of the pullingspeed can reflect the working load in a degree Moreover asthemost important information on judging shearer operating

state the cuttingmotor current and the pullingmotor currentcan be influenced by the pulling speed the cutting drumheight the working load the coal-rock characteristic andso on The difference between the two currents is that thecutting motor current has a direct proportion with workingload while the pulling motor current can comprehensivelycharacterize the pulling resistance Finally the slow changeof the cutting motor temperature and the pulling motortemperature can represent the general state of working loadand pulling load over a period of time The nine indicatorscan reflect the shearer operation state clearly The assessmentindicators of dynamic health assessment model for shearercan be shown in Figure 2
33 Defining Detectors Set According to the nine indicatorsof shearer dynamic health assessment approach definedabove we can determine the unknown schema object 1199011015840for nine-dimensional attribute space shown in detail inDefinition 1 Corresponding to the four modes of shearerdynamic health assessment consequences multiclass classi-fiers are constituted by four detectors normal mode (119862

(1198624) Any one of the non-self-class objects (the schema
object of classes 1198621 119862

by the 119894th detector (119877119894) excepting the self-class object (the
schema object of class 119862119894) In other words each detector only
cannot recognize the corresponding class object of particularassessment consequence modeThe immune classifier modelof dynamic health assessment for shearer is shown in Figure 3
Before establishing the dynamic health assessment modelbased on artificial immune algorithm the related definitionsof multiclass classifiers are given as follows
Definition 1 Each schema object can be represented as a 119896-dimensional vector (119901 119888) = (119901

Definition 5 120597detection is a testing threshold for detectors setThe value of testing threshold is the key to correctly classifydetectors as it decides which detectors should be activated inthe step of testing
34 Establishing the Assessment Model In this section theflows for establishing the dynamic health assessment modelbased on artificial immune algorithm are provided in detailIt mainly includes three steps
341 Data Initialization This step can be regarded as a datapreprocessing stage Each schema object is represented as a9-dimensional vector (119901 119888) = (119901

9 119888) 119901 isin 119875 All
object data of assessment indicators in the schema objectset are normalized so the attribute value is within the unit
interval [0 1] and 119901119894isin (0 1) To correspond to the four
patterns of shearer dynamic health assessment consequencesthe training data of schema object set are divided into fourtypes normal mode (119863
1) transition mode (119863
2) abnormal
mode (1198633) and danger mode (119863

342 Training Detectors Set The purpose of training stage isgenerating an effective detector for each schema object Thesteps for generating detector are given as follows
Step 1 Take preprocessed 119863119894as self-data set 119863self 119863self =
119863119894 so non-self-data set 119863nonself was made up by the other
preprocessed data sets 119863nonself = 1198631 cup sdot sdot sdot cup 119863119894minus1 cup 119863119894+1 cupsdot sdot sdot cup 119863

Step 2 Generate random alternative detectors set 1198771015840
Step 3 Calculate affinity between 1198771015840 and 119863self if affinity(119901119894

Step 4 Calculate affinity between 1198771015840 and 119863nonself ifaffinity(119901

Step 5 Delete the individual from 119863nonself if it can berecognized by 1198771015840
Step 6 If 119863nonself = 0 detector 119877119894 is accomplished anditeration is finished 119877
119894= 119877119894cup 1198771015840 otherwise turn back to

The sample data were acquired from the shearer in22210 fully mechanized coal face of Zhong Ping EnergyChemical Group No 6 Mine Depending on the assessmentmodel of prediction approach of shearer dynamic healthassessment the acquired data were normalized so that theobject data were represented as a 9-dimensional vector

Figure 6 Classification results of the classifier based on artificialimmune algorithm
randomly chosen to train the detectors set and the last 200groups were used to test the classification performance of thetrained detectors
After the assessment model based on artificial immunealgorithm was trained the multiclass classifiers of the assess-ment system were constituted by four detectors and eachdetector only could not recognize corresponding class objectof particular assessment consequence mode Actually if theinput schema object only could not be recognized by onedetector then the schema object belongs to this class object
After the training phase an assessment system could beobtained In order to verify the accuracy of the model theremaining 200 samples were utilized to test its performanceThe prediction consequence was given as in Figure 6 Asshown in Figure 6 only eight testing samples were mis-classified and circled in red The ordinate values 1 2 3and 4 corresponded to four assessment consequences ofshearer dynamic health modes and identification accuraciesof four detectors were 96 94 98 and 96 respectivelyThe overall average classification accuracy was 96 whichsatisfied the engineering requirement The testing resultsindicated that the proposed approach performed with lowerdeviation and could be applied in the assessment of shearerdynamic health
In order to indicate the meliority of assessment modelbased on artificial immune algorithm the assessment modelbased on back propagation-neural network (BP-NN) andsupport vector machine (SVM) was provided to solve theproblem of the above example The training samples andtesting samples were the same The configurations of simu-lation environment for three algorithms were uniform andthe relevant parameters were in common with the aboveexample The prediction consequence of the assessmentmodel based on BP-NN was given as in Figure 7 As shownin Figure 7 twenty-one testing samples were misclassifiedand some samples had a large deviation to real situationsThe classification accuracies for four health modes were90 86 90 and 92 and overall average classificationaccuracy was 895

Figure 8 Classification results of the classifier based on SVM
The prediction consequence of the assessment modelbased on SVM was given as in Figure 8 As shown inFigure 8 twenty-three testing samples were misclassifiedand some samples had a large deviation to real situationsThe classification accuracies for four health modes were92 86 88 and 90 and overall average classificationaccuracy was 885 It was observed that the proposedmethod had a better classification capability and performancethan the competing methods With the benefits of artificialimmune algorithm in uncertain fields the proposed classifiercould obtain higher classification accuracy than single BP-NN and SVM classifiers
42 Further Discussion In order to further compare andanalyze the overall performance of SVM BP-NN and AI thesame 1200 samples are experimented with In this examplea certain number of samples denoted by training size (119879size)are randomly selected from the data as the training samplesand 200 samples are randomly selected from the remaining1200 minus 119879size samples as the testing samples Each learningalgorithm is then trained and tested 200 times and theclassification error rate is recorded as the final result In this

Figure 9 The changes of classification error rate with different training sizes
study the training size of the example varies over 119879size =100 120 140 160 1000 That is to say we run severaltrials over the algorithms with training size ranging from100 to 1000 The classification error rate 119898119899 (where 119898 isthe classification error times and 119899 is the total test times) ischosen as the metric to express the result as a proportion ofthe optimal solution
Figure 9 plots themeans of thismetric (classification errorrate) for each trial as a function of problem size 119879size It canbe seen that for all trials the classification error rate decreasesnonlinearly with 119879size and the classification accuracy of AIoutperforms BP-NN and SVM for all 119879size
From Figure 9 it is obvious that the classification errorrate descent velocity of AI is the fastest across different train-ing sizes and owns stronger generalization ability than BP-NN and SVM regardless of the training size What is morethe classification accuracy of AI is more supernal and robustTherefore the AI algorithm can obtain a relatively highaccuracy to provide an effective support tool for dynamichealth assessment for shearer
43 Industrial Application In this section a system based onthe proposed approach had been developed and applied inthe field of shearer dynamic health assessment as shown inFigure 10
As Figure 10 showed the ldquogateway controllerrdquo andldquoground monitoring centerrdquo were used to control and moni-tor the shearer running parameters The system based on theproposed approach was uploaded into the gateway controllerThe pulling speed the left cutting motor current the rightcuttingmotor current the left pullingmotor current the right
pulling motor current the left cutting motor temperaturethe right cutting motor temperature the left pulling motortemperature and the right pulling motor temperature werecollected every 1Hz from the shearer controller and thecollected data were transmitted to the gateway controllerThen the changes of shearer dynamic health assessmentconsequence were identified and showed on ldquomonitoringinterface for shearer dynamic health assessmentrdquo
In order to illustrate the application effect of the proposedapproach the shearer was running in fully mechanized coalface from 1350m to 1500m by the manual operation Thedynamic health assessment curve based on the proposedclassifier was shown in Figure 11 and the ordinate valuesof 1 2 3 and 4 denoted four health classes normal modetransition mode abnormal mode and danger mode Thecurve showed two obvious changes in segments A and BTheordinate values were leaped from 1 to 3 which means thatthe shearer health status had a sudden change from normalmode to abnormal mode The changes of some operationalparameters were plotted in Figure 12 The cutting motorcurrent had a noticeable increasewhen the right cutting drumcut the floor between 1350m and 1385m and the left cuttingdrum cut the roof between 1460m and 1480m The resultsof shearer dynamic health assessment based on the proposedsystem were almost completely consistent with the actualcutting status of shearer

by the 119894th detector (119877119894) excepting the self-class object (the
schema object of class 119862119894) In other words each detector only
cannot recognize the corresponding class object of particularassessment consequence modeThe immune classifier modelof dynamic health assessment for shearer is shown in Figure 3
Before establishing the dynamic health assessment modelbased on artificial immune algorithm the related definitionsof multiclass classifiers are given as follows

object data of assessment indicators in the schema objectset are normalized so the attribute value is within the unit
interval [0 1] and 119901119894isin (0 1) To correspond to the four
patterns of shearer dynamic health assessment consequencesthe training data of schema object set are divided into fourtypes normal mode (119863

Figure 6 Classification results of the classifier based on artificialimmune algorithm
randomly chosen to train the detectors set and the last 200groups were used to test the classification performance of thetrained detectors
After the assessment model based on artificial immunealgorithm was trained the multiclass classifiers of the assess-ment system were constituted by four detectors and eachdetector only could not recognize corresponding class objectof particular assessment consequence mode Actually if theinput schema object only could not be recognized by onedetector then the schema object belongs to this class object
After the training phase an assessment system could beobtained In order to verify the accuracy of the model theremaining 200 samples were utilized to test its performanceThe prediction consequence was given as in Figure 6 Asshown in Figure 6 only eight testing samples were mis-classified and circled in red The ordinate values 1 2 3and 4 corresponded to four assessment consequences ofshearer dynamic health modes and identification accuraciesof four detectors were 96 94 98 and 96 respectivelyThe overall average classification accuracy was 96 whichsatisfied the engineering requirement The testing resultsindicated that the proposed approach performed with lowerdeviation and could be applied in the assessment of shearerdynamic health
In order to indicate the meliority of assessment modelbased on artificial immune algorithm the assessment modelbased on back propagation-neural network (BP-NN) andsupport vector machine (SVM) was provided to solve theproblem of the above example The training samples andtesting samples were the same The configurations of simu-lation environment for three algorithms were uniform andthe relevant parameters were in common with the aboveexample The prediction consequence of the assessmentmodel based on BP-NN was given as in Figure 7 As shownin Figure 7 twenty-one testing samples were misclassifiedand some samples had a large deviation to real situationsThe classification accuracies for four health modes were90 86 90 and 92 and overall average classificationaccuracy was 895

Figure 8 Classification results of the classifier based on SVM
The prediction consequence of the assessment modelbased on SVM was given as in Figure 8 As shown inFigure 8 twenty-three testing samples were misclassifiedand some samples had a large deviation to real situationsThe classification accuracies for four health modes were92 86 88 and 90 and overall average classificationaccuracy was 885 It was observed that the proposedmethod had a better classification capability and performancethan the competing methods With the benefits of artificialimmune algorithm in uncertain fields the proposed classifiercould obtain higher classification accuracy than single BP-NN and SVM classifiers
42 Further Discussion In order to further compare andanalyze the overall performance of SVM BP-NN and AI thesame 1200 samples are experimented with In this examplea certain number of samples denoted by training size (119879size)are randomly selected from the data as the training samplesand 200 samples are randomly selected from the remaining1200 minus 119879size samples as the testing samples Each learningalgorithm is then trained and tested 200 times and theclassification error rate is recorded as the final result In this

Figure 9 The changes of classification error rate with different training sizes
study the training size of the example varies over 119879size =100 120 140 160 1000 That is to say we run severaltrials over the algorithms with training size ranging from100 to 1000 The classification error rate 119898119899 (where 119898 isthe classification error times and 119899 is the total test times) ischosen as the metric to express the result as a proportion ofthe optimal solution
Figure 9 plots themeans of thismetric (classification errorrate) for each trial as a function of problem size 119879size It canbe seen that for all trials the classification error rate decreasesnonlinearly with 119879size and the classification accuracy of AIoutperforms BP-NN and SVM for all 119879size
From Figure 9 it is obvious that the classification errorrate descent velocity of AI is the fastest across different train-ing sizes and owns stronger generalization ability than BP-NN and SVM regardless of the training size What is morethe classification accuracy of AI is more supernal and robustTherefore the AI algorithm can obtain a relatively highaccuracy to provide an effective support tool for dynamichealth assessment for shearer
43 Industrial Application In this section a system based onthe proposed approach had been developed and applied inthe field of shearer dynamic health assessment as shown inFigure 10
As Figure 10 showed the ldquogateway controllerrdquo andldquoground monitoring centerrdquo were used to control and moni-tor the shearer running parameters The system based on theproposed approach was uploaded into the gateway controllerThe pulling speed the left cutting motor current the rightcuttingmotor current the left pullingmotor current the right
pulling motor current the left cutting motor temperaturethe right cutting motor temperature the left pulling motortemperature and the right pulling motor temperature werecollected every 1Hz from the shearer controller and thecollected data were transmitted to the gateway controllerThen the changes of shearer dynamic health assessmentconsequence were identified and showed on ldquomonitoringinterface for shearer dynamic health assessmentrdquo
In order to illustrate the application effect of the proposedapproach the shearer was running in fully mechanized coalface from 1350m to 1500m by the manual operation Thedynamic health assessment curve based on the proposedclassifier was shown in Figure 11 and the ordinate valuesof 1 2 3 and 4 denoted four health classes normal modetransition mode abnormal mode and danger mode Thecurve showed two obvious changes in segments A and BTheordinate values were leaped from 1 to 3 which means thatthe shearer health status had a sudden change from normalmode to abnormal mode The changes of some operationalparameters were plotted in Figure 12 The cutting motorcurrent had a noticeable increasewhen the right cutting drumcut the floor between 1350m and 1385m and the left cuttingdrum cut the roof between 1460m and 1480m The resultsof shearer dynamic health assessment based on the proposedsystem were almost completely consistent with the actualcutting status of shearer

Definition 4 120597selection is a choosing threshold for selectedreceptor and the value lies between 0 and 1 The choosingthreshold is very important as it selects which receptorsshould be removed from detectors set in the step of training
Definition 5 120597detection is a testing threshold for detectors setThe value of testing threshold is the key to correctly classifydetectors as it decides which detectors should be activated inthe step of testing
34 Establishing the Assessment Model In this section theflows for establishing the dynamic health assessment modelbased on artificial immune algorithm are provided in detailIt mainly includes three steps
341 Data Initialization This step can be regarded as a datapreprocessing stage Each schema object is represented as a9-dimensional vector (119901 119888) = (119901
1 1199012 119901
9 119888) 119901 isin 119875 All
object data of assessment indicators in the schema objectset are normalized so the attribute value is within the unit
interval [0 1] and 119901119894isin (0 1) To correspond to the four
patterns of shearer dynamic health assessment consequencesthe training data of schema object set are divided into fourtypes normal mode (119863
1) transition mode (119863
2) abnormal
mode (1198633) and danger mode (119863

342 Training Detectors Set The purpose of training stage isgenerating an effective detector for each schema object Thesteps for generating detector are given as follows
Step 1 Take preprocessed 119863119894as self-data set 119863self 119863self =
119863119894 so non-self-data set 119863nonself was made up by the other

Step 2 Generate random alternative detectors set 1198771015840
Step 3 Calculate affinity between 1198771015840 and 119863self if affinity(119901119894

1015840 (negative selection)
Step 4 Calculate affinity between 1198771015840 and 119863nonself ifaffinity(119901
119894 119903119895) lt 120597selection delete 119903
119895from 1198771015840 (positive
selection)
Step 5 Delete the individual from 119863nonself if it can berecognized by 1198771015840
Step 6 If 119863nonself = 0 detector 119877119894 is accomplished anditeration is finished 119877
119894= 119877119894cup 1198771015840 otherwise turn back to

Figure 6 Classification results of the classifier based on artificialimmune algorithm
randomly chosen to train the detectors set and the last 200groups were used to test the classification performance of thetrained detectors
After the assessment model based on artificial immunealgorithm was trained the multiclass classifiers of the assess-ment system were constituted by four detectors and eachdetector only could not recognize corresponding class objectof particular assessment consequence mode Actually if theinput schema object only could not be recognized by onedetector then the schema object belongs to this class object
After the training phase an assessment system could beobtained In order to verify the accuracy of the model theremaining 200 samples were utilized to test its performanceThe prediction consequence was given as in Figure 6 Asshown in Figure 6 only eight testing samples were mis-classified and circled in red The ordinate values 1 2 3and 4 corresponded to four assessment consequences ofshearer dynamic health modes and identification accuraciesof four detectors were 96 94 98 and 96 respectivelyThe overall average classification accuracy was 96 whichsatisfied the engineering requirement The testing resultsindicated that the proposed approach performed with lowerdeviation and could be applied in the assessment of shearerdynamic health
In order to indicate the meliority of assessment modelbased on artificial immune algorithm the assessment modelbased on back propagation-neural network (BP-NN) andsupport vector machine (SVM) was provided to solve theproblem of the above example The training samples andtesting samples were the same The configurations of simu-lation environment for three algorithms were uniform andthe relevant parameters were in common with the aboveexample The prediction consequence of the assessmentmodel based on BP-NN was given as in Figure 7 As shownin Figure 7 twenty-one testing samples were misclassifiedand some samples had a large deviation to real situationsThe classification accuracies for four health modes were90 86 90 and 92 and overall average classificationaccuracy was 895

Figure 8 Classification results of the classifier based on SVM
The prediction consequence of the assessment modelbased on SVM was given as in Figure 8 As shown inFigure 8 twenty-three testing samples were misclassifiedand some samples had a large deviation to real situationsThe classification accuracies for four health modes were92 86 88 and 90 and overall average classificationaccuracy was 885 It was observed that the proposedmethod had a better classification capability and performancethan the competing methods With the benefits of artificialimmune algorithm in uncertain fields the proposed classifiercould obtain higher classification accuracy than single BP-NN and SVM classifiers
42 Further Discussion In order to further compare andanalyze the overall performance of SVM BP-NN and AI thesame 1200 samples are experimented with In this examplea certain number of samples denoted by training size (119879size)are randomly selected from the data as the training samplesand 200 samples are randomly selected from the remaining1200 minus 119879size samples as the testing samples Each learningalgorithm is then trained and tested 200 times and theclassification error rate is recorded as the final result In this

Figure 9 The changes of classification error rate with different training sizes
study the training size of the example varies over 119879size =100 120 140 160 1000 That is to say we run severaltrials over the algorithms with training size ranging from100 to 1000 The classification error rate 119898119899 (where 119898 isthe classification error times and 119899 is the total test times) ischosen as the metric to express the result as a proportion ofthe optimal solution
Figure 9 plots themeans of thismetric (classification errorrate) for each trial as a function of problem size 119879size It canbe seen that for all trials the classification error rate decreasesnonlinearly with 119879size and the classification accuracy of AIoutperforms BP-NN and SVM for all 119879size
From Figure 9 it is obvious that the classification errorrate descent velocity of AI is the fastest across different train-ing sizes and owns stronger generalization ability than BP-NN and SVM regardless of the training size What is morethe classification accuracy of AI is more supernal and robustTherefore the AI algorithm can obtain a relatively highaccuracy to provide an effective support tool for dynamichealth assessment for shearer
43 Industrial Application In this section a system based onthe proposed approach had been developed and applied inthe field of shearer dynamic health assessment as shown inFigure 10
As Figure 10 showed the ldquogateway controllerrdquo andldquoground monitoring centerrdquo were used to control and moni-tor the shearer running parameters The system based on theproposed approach was uploaded into the gateway controllerThe pulling speed the left cutting motor current the rightcuttingmotor current the left pullingmotor current the right
pulling motor current the left cutting motor temperaturethe right cutting motor temperature the left pulling motortemperature and the right pulling motor temperature werecollected every 1Hz from the shearer controller and thecollected data were transmitted to the gateway controllerThen the changes of shearer dynamic health assessmentconsequence were identified and showed on ldquomonitoringinterface for shearer dynamic health assessmentrdquo
In order to illustrate the application effect of the proposedapproach the shearer was running in fully mechanized coalface from 1350m to 1500m by the manual operation Thedynamic health assessment curve based on the proposedclassifier was shown in Figure 11 and the ordinate valuesof 1 2 3 and 4 denoted four health classes normal modetransition mode abnormal mode and danger mode Thecurve showed two obvious changes in segments A and BTheordinate values were leaped from 1 to 3 which means thatthe shearer health status had a sudden change from normalmode to abnormal mode The changes of some operationalparameters were plotted in Figure 12 The cutting motorcurrent had a noticeable increasewhen the right cutting drumcut the floor between 1350m and 1385m and the left cuttingdrum cut the roof between 1460m and 1480m The resultsof shearer dynamic health assessment based on the proposedsystem were almost completely consistent with the actualcutting status of shearer

Figure 6 Classification results of the classifier based on artificialimmune algorithm
randomly chosen to train the detectors set and the last 200groups were used to test the classification performance of thetrained detectors
After the assessment model based on artificial immunealgorithm was trained the multiclass classifiers of the assess-ment system were constituted by four detectors and eachdetector only could not recognize corresponding class objectof particular assessment consequence mode Actually if theinput schema object only could not be recognized by onedetector then the schema object belongs to this class object
After the training phase an assessment system could beobtained In order to verify the accuracy of the model theremaining 200 samples were utilized to test its performanceThe prediction consequence was given as in Figure 6 Asshown in Figure 6 only eight testing samples were mis-classified and circled in red The ordinate values 1 2 3and 4 corresponded to four assessment consequences ofshearer dynamic health modes and identification accuraciesof four detectors were 96 94 98 and 96 respectivelyThe overall average classification accuracy was 96 whichsatisfied the engineering requirement The testing resultsindicated that the proposed approach performed with lowerdeviation and could be applied in the assessment of shearerdynamic health
In order to indicate the meliority of assessment modelbased on artificial immune algorithm the assessment modelbased on back propagation-neural network (BP-NN) andsupport vector machine (SVM) was provided to solve theproblem of the above example The training samples andtesting samples were the same The configurations of simu-lation environment for three algorithms were uniform andthe relevant parameters were in common with the aboveexample The prediction consequence of the assessmentmodel based on BP-NN was given as in Figure 7 As shownin Figure 7 twenty-one testing samples were misclassifiedand some samples had a large deviation to real situationsThe classification accuracies for four health modes were90 86 90 and 92 and overall average classificationaccuracy was 895

Figure 8 Classification results of the classifier based on SVM
The prediction consequence of the assessment modelbased on SVM was given as in Figure 8 As shown inFigure 8 twenty-three testing samples were misclassifiedand some samples had a large deviation to real situationsThe classification accuracies for four health modes were92 86 88 and 90 and overall average classificationaccuracy was 885 It was observed that the proposedmethod had a better classification capability and performancethan the competing methods With the benefits of artificialimmune algorithm in uncertain fields the proposed classifiercould obtain higher classification accuracy than single BP-NN and SVM classifiers
42 Further Discussion In order to further compare andanalyze the overall performance of SVM BP-NN and AI thesame 1200 samples are experimented with In this examplea certain number of samples denoted by training size (119879size)are randomly selected from the data as the training samplesand 200 samples are randomly selected from the remaining1200 minus 119879size samples as the testing samples Each learningalgorithm is then trained and tested 200 times and theclassification error rate is recorded as the final result In this

Figure 9 The changes of classification error rate with different training sizes
study the training size of the example varies over 119879size =100 120 140 160 1000 That is to say we run severaltrials over the algorithms with training size ranging from100 to 1000 The classification error rate 119898119899 (where 119898 isthe classification error times and 119899 is the total test times) ischosen as the metric to express the result as a proportion ofthe optimal solution
Figure 9 plots themeans of thismetric (classification errorrate) for each trial as a function of problem size 119879size It canbe seen that for all trials the classification error rate decreasesnonlinearly with 119879size and the classification accuracy of AIoutperforms BP-NN and SVM for all 119879size
From Figure 9 it is obvious that the classification errorrate descent velocity of AI is the fastest across different train-ing sizes and owns stronger generalization ability than BP-NN and SVM regardless of the training size What is morethe classification accuracy of AI is more supernal and robustTherefore the AI algorithm can obtain a relatively highaccuracy to provide an effective support tool for dynamichealth assessment for shearer
43 Industrial Application In this section a system based onthe proposed approach had been developed and applied inthe field of shearer dynamic health assessment as shown inFigure 10
As Figure 10 showed the ldquogateway controllerrdquo andldquoground monitoring centerrdquo were used to control and moni-tor the shearer running parameters The system based on theproposed approach was uploaded into the gateway controllerThe pulling speed the left cutting motor current the rightcuttingmotor current the left pullingmotor current the right
pulling motor current the left cutting motor temperaturethe right cutting motor temperature the left pulling motortemperature and the right pulling motor temperature werecollected every 1Hz from the shearer controller and thecollected data were transmitted to the gateway controllerThen the changes of shearer dynamic health assessmentconsequence were identified and showed on ldquomonitoringinterface for shearer dynamic health assessmentrdquo
In order to illustrate the application effect of the proposedapproach the shearer was running in fully mechanized coalface from 1350m to 1500m by the manual operation Thedynamic health assessment curve based on the proposedclassifier was shown in Figure 11 and the ordinate valuesof 1 2 3 and 4 denoted four health classes normal modetransition mode abnormal mode and danger mode Thecurve showed two obvious changes in segments A and BTheordinate values were leaped from 1 to 3 which means thatthe shearer health status had a sudden change from normalmode to abnormal mode The changes of some operationalparameters were plotted in Figure 12 The cutting motorcurrent had a noticeable increasewhen the right cutting drumcut the floor between 1350m and 1385m and the left cuttingdrum cut the roof between 1460m and 1480m The resultsof shearer dynamic health assessment based on the proposedsystem were almost completely consistent with the actualcutting status of shearer

Figure 6 Classification results of the classifier based on artificialimmune algorithm
randomly chosen to train the detectors set and the last 200groups were used to test the classification performance of thetrained detectors
After the assessment model based on artificial immunealgorithm was trained the multiclass classifiers of the assess-ment system were constituted by four detectors and eachdetector only could not recognize corresponding class objectof particular assessment consequence mode Actually if theinput schema object only could not be recognized by onedetector then the schema object belongs to this class object
After the training phase an assessment system could beobtained In order to verify the accuracy of the model theremaining 200 samples were utilized to test its performanceThe prediction consequence was given as in Figure 6 Asshown in Figure 6 only eight testing samples were mis-classified and circled in red The ordinate values 1 2 3and 4 corresponded to four assessment consequences ofshearer dynamic health modes and identification accuraciesof four detectors were 96 94 98 and 96 respectivelyThe overall average classification accuracy was 96 whichsatisfied the engineering requirement The testing resultsindicated that the proposed approach performed with lowerdeviation and could be applied in the assessment of shearerdynamic health
In order to indicate the meliority of assessment modelbased on artificial immune algorithm the assessment modelbased on back propagation-neural network (BP-NN) andsupport vector machine (SVM) was provided to solve theproblem of the above example The training samples andtesting samples were the same The configurations of simu-lation environment for three algorithms were uniform andthe relevant parameters were in common with the aboveexample The prediction consequence of the assessmentmodel based on BP-NN was given as in Figure 7 As shownin Figure 7 twenty-one testing samples were misclassifiedand some samples had a large deviation to real situationsThe classification accuracies for four health modes were90 86 90 and 92 and overall average classificationaccuracy was 895

Figure 8 Classification results of the classifier based on SVM
The prediction consequence of the assessment modelbased on SVM was given as in Figure 8 As shown inFigure 8 twenty-three testing samples were misclassifiedand some samples had a large deviation to real situationsThe classification accuracies for four health modes were92 86 88 and 90 and overall average classificationaccuracy was 885 It was observed that the proposedmethod had a better classification capability and performancethan the competing methods With the benefits of artificialimmune algorithm in uncertain fields the proposed classifiercould obtain higher classification accuracy than single BP-NN and SVM classifiers
42 Further Discussion In order to further compare andanalyze the overall performance of SVM BP-NN and AI thesame 1200 samples are experimented with In this examplea certain number of samples denoted by training size (119879size)are randomly selected from the data as the training samplesand 200 samples are randomly selected from the remaining1200 minus 119879size samples as the testing samples Each learningalgorithm is then trained and tested 200 times and theclassification error rate is recorded as the final result In this

Figure 9 The changes of classification error rate with different training sizes
study the training size of the example varies over 119879size =100 120 140 160 1000 That is to say we run severaltrials over the algorithms with training size ranging from100 to 1000 The classification error rate 119898119899 (where 119898 isthe classification error times and 119899 is the total test times) ischosen as the metric to express the result as a proportion ofthe optimal solution
Figure 9 plots themeans of thismetric (classification errorrate) for each trial as a function of problem size 119879size It canbe seen that for all trials the classification error rate decreasesnonlinearly with 119879size and the classification accuracy of AIoutperforms BP-NN and SVM for all 119879size
From Figure 9 it is obvious that the classification errorrate descent velocity of AI is the fastest across different train-ing sizes and owns stronger generalization ability than BP-NN and SVM regardless of the training size What is morethe classification accuracy of AI is more supernal and robustTherefore the AI algorithm can obtain a relatively highaccuracy to provide an effective support tool for dynamichealth assessment for shearer
43 Industrial Application In this section a system based onthe proposed approach had been developed and applied inthe field of shearer dynamic health assessment as shown inFigure 10
As Figure 10 showed the ldquogateway controllerrdquo andldquoground monitoring centerrdquo were used to control and moni-tor the shearer running parameters The system based on theproposed approach was uploaded into the gateway controllerThe pulling speed the left cutting motor current the rightcuttingmotor current the left pullingmotor current the right
pulling motor current the left cutting motor temperaturethe right cutting motor temperature the left pulling motortemperature and the right pulling motor temperature werecollected every 1Hz from the shearer controller and thecollected data were transmitted to the gateway controllerThen the changes of shearer dynamic health assessmentconsequence were identified and showed on ldquomonitoringinterface for shearer dynamic health assessmentrdquo
In order to illustrate the application effect of the proposedapproach the shearer was running in fully mechanized coalface from 1350m to 1500m by the manual operation Thedynamic health assessment curve based on the proposedclassifier was shown in Figure 11 and the ordinate valuesof 1 2 3 and 4 denoted four health classes normal modetransition mode abnormal mode and danger mode Thecurve showed two obvious changes in segments A and BTheordinate values were leaped from 1 to 3 which means thatthe shearer health status had a sudden change from normalmode to abnormal mode The changes of some operationalparameters were plotted in Figure 12 The cutting motorcurrent had a noticeable increasewhen the right cutting drumcut the floor between 1350m and 1385m and the left cuttingdrum cut the roof between 1460m and 1480m The resultsof shearer dynamic health assessment based on the proposedsystem were almost completely consistent with the actualcutting status of shearer

Figure 6 Classification results of the classifier based on artificialimmune algorithm
randomly chosen to train the detectors set and the last 200groups were used to test the classification performance of thetrained detectors
After the assessment model based on artificial immunealgorithm was trained the multiclass classifiers of the assess-ment system were constituted by four detectors and eachdetector only could not recognize corresponding class objectof particular assessment consequence mode Actually if theinput schema object only could not be recognized by onedetector then the schema object belongs to this class object
After the training phase an assessment system could beobtained In order to verify the accuracy of the model theremaining 200 samples were utilized to test its performanceThe prediction consequence was given as in Figure 6 Asshown in Figure 6 only eight testing samples were mis-classified and circled in red The ordinate values 1 2 3and 4 corresponded to four assessment consequences ofshearer dynamic health modes and identification accuraciesof four detectors were 96 94 98 and 96 respectivelyThe overall average classification accuracy was 96 whichsatisfied the engineering requirement The testing resultsindicated that the proposed approach performed with lowerdeviation and could be applied in the assessment of shearerdynamic health
In order to indicate the meliority of assessment modelbased on artificial immune algorithm the assessment modelbased on back propagation-neural network (BP-NN) andsupport vector machine (SVM) was provided to solve theproblem of the above example The training samples andtesting samples were the same The configurations of simu-lation environment for three algorithms were uniform andthe relevant parameters were in common with the aboveexample The prediction consequence of the assessmentmodel based on BP-NN was given as in Figure 7 As shownin Figure 7 twenty-one testing samples were misclassifiedand some samples had a large deviation to real situationsThe classification accuracies for four health modes were90 86 90 and 92 and overall average classificationaccuracy was 895

Figure 8 Classification results of the classifier based on SVM
The prediction consequence of the assessment modelbased on SVM was given as in Figure 8 As shown inFigure 8 twenty-three testing samples were misclassifiedand some samples had a large deviation to real situationsThe classification accuracies for four health modes were92 86 88 and 90 and overall average classificationaccuracy was 885 It was observed that the proposedmethod had a better classification capability and performancethan the competing methods With the benefits of artificialimmune algorithm in uncertain fields the proposed classifiercould obtain higher classification accuracy than single BP-NN and SVM classifiers
42 Further Discussion In order to further compare andanalyze the overall performance of SVM BP-NN and AI thesame 1200 samples are experimented with In this examplea certain number of samples denoted by training size (119879size)are randomly selected from the data as the training samplesand 200 samples are randomly selected from the remaining1200 minus 119879size samples as the testing samples Each learningalgorithm is then trained and tested 200 times and theclassification error rate is recorded as the final result In this

Figure 9 The changes of classification error rate with different training sizes
study the training size of the example varies over 119879size =100 120 140 160 1000 That is to say we run severaltrials over the algorithms with training size ranging from100 to 1000 The classification error rate 119898119899 (where 119898 isthe classification error times and 119899 is the total test times) ischosen as the metric to express the result as a proportion ofthe optimal solution
Figure 9 plots themeans of thismetric (classification errorrate) for each trial as a function of problem size 119879size It canbe seen that for all trials the classification error rate decreasesnonlinearly with 119879size and the classification accuracy of AIoutperforms BP-NN and SVM for all 119879size
From Figure 9 it is obvious that the classification errorrate descent velocity of AI is the fastest across different train-ing sizes and owns stronger generalization ability than BP-NN and SVM regardless of the training size What is morethe classification accuracy of AI is more supernal and robustTherefore the AI algorithm can obtain a relatively highaccuracy to provide an effective support tool for dynamichealth assessment for shearer
43 Industrial Application In this section a system based onthe proposed approach had been developed and applied inthe field of shearer dynamic health assessment as shown inFigure 10
As Figure 10 showed the ldquogateway controllerrdquo andldquoground monitoring centerrdquo were used to control and moni-tor the shearer running parameters The system based on theproposed approach was uploaded into the gateway controllerThe pulling speed the left cutting motor current the rightcuttingmotor current the left pullingmotor current the right
pulling motor current the left cutting motor temperaturethe right cutting motor temperature the left pulling motortemperature and the right pulling motor temperature werecollected every 1Hz from the shearer controller and thecollected data were transmitted to the gateway controllerThen the changes of shearer dynamic health assessmentconsequence were identified and showed on ldquomonitoringinterface for shearer dynamic health assessmentrdquo
In order to illustrate the application effect of the proposedapproach the shearer was running in fully mechanized coalface from 1350m to 1500m by the manual operation Thedynamic health assessment curve based on the proposedclassifier was shown in Figure 11 and the ordinate valuesof 1 2 3 and 4 denoted four health classes normal modetransition mode abnormal mode and danger mode Thecurve showed two obvious changes in segments A and BTheordinate values were leaped from 1 to 3 which means thatthe shearer health status had a sudden change from normalmode to abnormal mode The changes of some operationalparameters were plotted in Figure 12 The cutting motorcurrent had a noticeable increasewhen the right cutting drumcut the floor between 1350m and 1385m and the left cuttingdrum cut the roof between 1460m and 1480m The resultsof shearer dynamic health assessment based on the proposedsystem were almost completely consistent with the actualcutting status of shearer
