  • Publication number: 20220138505
    Abstract: Methods, systems and media for deep neural network interpretation via rule extraction. The interpretation of the deep neural network is based on extracting one or more rules approximating classification behavior of the network. Rules are defined by identifying a set of hyperplanes through the data space that collectively define a convex polytope that separates a target class of input samples from input samples of different classes. Each rule corresponds to a set of decision boundaries between two different decision outcomes. Human-understandable representations of rules may be generated. One or more rules may be used to generate a classifier. The representations and interpretations exhibit faithfulness, robustness, and comprehensiveness relative to other known approaches.

  • Publication number: 20220134353
    Abstract: The present invention proposes a coal and gangue separation device, including a first supporting seat, a guide part and multiple material bins. The guide part is hinged with the first supporting seat; the guide part rotates in a vertical direction; and inlets of the plurality of material bins are sequentially distributed on a rotation track of a movable end of the guide part. In the coal and gangue separation device of the present invention, the high-pressure airflow of a high-pressure nozzle does not directly act on the materials, but on grate bar driving mechanisms; and cantilever grate bars are driven to rotate by the grate bar driving mechanisms so as to directionally discharge the mineral aggregate. Therefore, the gangue can accurately enter a gangue collection bin; and the clean coal can accurately enter a clean coal collection bin.
