Data-Based Design of Multi-Model Inferential Sensors
This paper deals with the problem of inferential (soft) sensor design. The nonlinear character of industrial processes is usually the main limitation to designing simple linear inferential sensors with sufficient accuracy. In order to increase the inferential sensor predictive performance and yet to maintain its linear structure, multi-model inferential sensors represent a straightforward option. In this contribution, we propose two novel approaches for the design of multi-model inferential sensors aiming to mitigate some drawbacks of the state-of-the-art approaches. For a demonstration of the developed techniques, we design inferential sensors for a Vacuum Gasoil Hydrogenation unit, which is a real-world petrochemical refinery unit. The performance of the multi-model inferential sensor is compared against various single-model inferential sensors and the current (referential) inferential sensor used in the refinery. The results show substantial improvements over the state-of-the-art design techniques for single-/multi-model inferential sensors.

Data-based Design of Inferential Sensors for Petrochemical Industry
Inferential (or soft) sensors are used in industry to infer the values of imprecisely and rarely measured (or completely unmeasured) variables from variables measured online (e.g., pressures, temperatures). The main chal…
Design of Multi-model Linear Inferential Sensors with SVM-based Switching Logic
We study the problem of data-based design of multi-model linear inferential (soft) sensors. The multi-model linear inferential sensors promise increased prediction accuracy yet simplicity of the model structure and train…
Inferential Moments of Uncertain Multivariable Systems
This article expands the framework of Bayesian inference and provides direct probabilistic methods for approaching inference tasks that are typically handled with information theory. We treat Bayesian probability updatin…
Bayesian InferenceDecision MakingTowards an Inferential Lexicon of Event Selecting Predicates for French
We present a manually constructed seed lexicon encoding the inferential profiles of French event selecting predicates across different uses. The inferential profile (Karttunen, 1971a) of a verb is designed to capture the…
Why machines do not understand: A response to Søgaard
Some defenders of so-called `artificial intelligence' believe that machines can understand language. In particular, S{\o}gaard has argued in this journal for a thesis of this sort, on the basis of the idea (1) that where…
