RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 High-accuracy classification of thread quality in tapping processes with ensembles of classifiers for imbalanced learning A1 Diez Pastor, José Francisco A1 Gil del Val, Alain A1 Veiga, Fernando A1 Bustillo Iglesias, Andrés K1 Bagging K1 Imbalanced datasets K1 Threading K1 Cutting taps K1 Quality assessment K1 Informática K1 Computer science AB Industrial threading processes that use cutting taps are in high demand. However, industrial conditions differ markedly from laboratory conditions. In this study, a machine-learning solution is presented for the correct classification of threads, based on industrial requirements, to avoid expensive manual measurement of quality indicators. First, quality states are categorized. Second, process inputs are extracted from the torque signals including statistical parameters. Third, different machine-learning algorithms are tested: from base classifiers, such as decision trees and multilayer perceptrons, to complex ensembles of classifiers especially designed for imbalanced datasets, such as boosting and bagging decision-tree ensembles combined with SMOTE and under-sampling balancing techniques. Ensembles demonstrated the lowest sensitivity to window sizes, the highest accuracy for smaller window sizes, and the greatest learning ability with small datasets. Fourth, the combination of models with both high Recall and high Precision resulted in a reliable industrial tool, tested on an extensive experimental dataset.
