Prediction of Coatings Hardness and Wear Rate by a Continual Learning Model with Dynamic Structure
摘要
As the key evaluation index to protective coatings, hardness and wear rate have to be measured by time and labor consuming test. As an alternative, the predictions by artificial neural network model is an effective way. However, the study about the prediction performance on multi-tasks including coatings hardness and wear rate was rarely reported. Thus, this study introduced dynamic structure (DS) into elastic weight consolidation (EWC) and gradient episodic memory (GEM) so as to establish EWC-DS and GEM-DS models. The prediction performance showed that even after solely retraining data from new task, EWC-DS and GEM-DS models still presented good prediction accuracy on hardness without catastrophic forgetting.
