Detecting Outliers in Electric Arc Furnace under the Condition of Unlabeled, Imbalanced, Non-stationary and Noisy Data

The presence of outliers is the main reason leading to ineffectiveness of advanced data-driven control methods in electric arc furnace systems. This paper proposes a hybrid method dedicated to detecting outliers in electric arc furnace systems, where process data are characterized as unlabeled, imba...
