Nonlinear System Identification Method Based on Improved Deep Belief Network

Accurate model is very important for the control of nonlinear system. The traditional identification method based on shallow BP network is easy to fall into local optimal solution. In this paper, a modeling method for nonlinear system based on improved Deep Belief Network (DBN) is proposed. Continuous Restricted Boltzmann Machine (CRBM) is used as the first layer of the DBN, so that the network can more effectively deal with the actual data collected from the real systems. Then, the unsupervised training and supervised tuning were combine to improve the accuracy of identification. The simulation results show that the proposed method has a higher identification accuracy. Finally, this improved algorithm is applied to identification of diameter model of silicon single crystal and the simulation results prove its excellent ability of parameters identification.
