Multi-output LSTM soft sensors for industrial anaerobic co-digestion using LSTM-beta-VAE generative data augmentation

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The paper presents a novel approach to monitoring industrial anaerobic co‑digestion by combining a generative LSTM‑beta‑VAE with a multi‑output LSTM soft sensor. By synthesising physically valid sequences of unstable operation from a year of plant data, the method augments sparse datasets and enables simultaneous prediction of key stability indicators such as pH, volatile acid ratio, and biogas production. The augmented model outperforms standard algorithms and unaugmented LSTMs, offering robust early‑warning capabilities for bioprocess stability.

Enhanced Agriculture-informed Neural Network by Domain Knowledge

The paper introduces KAINN, a hybrid neural‑mechanistic model that augments the Agriculture‑informed Neural Network with domain knowledge on fertilizer diffusion, soil respiration, and water‑filled porosity to predict nitrous oxide emissions from agriculture. Experiments across CNN, LSTM, and Transformer architectures show that KAINN achieves lower root mean square error, lower mean absolute error, and higher R-squared values compared to purely data‑driven models and the original AINN. The learned interfaces exhibit smoother, more physically consistent parameter trajectories with reduced uncertainty.
