description In this paper, we present a novel support vector machine learning method for multi-label classification in the steelmaking process. The steelmaking process involves complicated physicochemical reactions. The end-point temperature is the key to the steelmaking process. According to the initial furnace condition information, the end-point temperature can be predicted using a data-driven method. Based on the setting value of the temperature before tapping, multi-scale predicted errors of the end-point temperature can be calculated and divided into different ranges. The quality evaluation problem can be attributed to the multi-label classification problem of molten steel quality. To solve the classification problem, considering that it is difficult to capture nonlinear relationships between the input and output in linear models, we propose a novel support vector machine with robust low-rank learning, which has the characteristics of class imbalance without label correlations; a low-rank constraint is used to deal with high-order label correlations in low-dimensional space. Furthermore, we derive an accelerated proximal gradient algorithm and then extend it to handle the nonlinear multi-label classifiers. To validate the proposed model, experiments are conducted with real data from a practical steelmaking problem. The results show that the proposed model can effectively solve the multi-label classification problem in industrial production. To evaluate the proposed approach as a general classification approach, we test it on multi-label classification benchmark datasets. The results illustrate that the proposed approach performs better than other state-of-the-art approaches across different scenarios.
