Abstract

Coal mining professionals in coal mining have recognized that the assessment of top coal release rate can not only improve the recovery rate of top coal, but also improve the quality of coal. But the process was often performed using a manual-based operation mode, which intensifies workload and difficulty, and is at risk of human errors. The study designs a assessment system to give the caving output ratio in top coal caving as accurately as possible based on the parameters adaptive Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy system and the Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) algorithm. The main goal of the adaptive parameters based on LM algorithm is to construct its damping factor in the light of lowering of the objective function which is as taken as the index of termination iteration. The performance of the system is evaluated by Pearson correlation coefficient, Coefficient of Determination and relative error where the results of the Takagi-Sugeno method and the parameters adaptive Takagi-Sugeno method are compared to make the evaluation more robust and comprehensive.
