Abstract
Soft sensors have been extensively developed and applied in the process industry. One of the main challenges of the data-driven soft sensors is the lack of labeled data and the need to absorb the knowledge from a related source operating condition to enhance the soft sensing performance on the target application. This article introduces deep transfer learning to soft sensor modeling and proposes a deep probabilistic transfer regression (DPTR) framework. In DPTR, a deep generative regression model is first developed to learn Gaussian latent feature representations and model the regression relationship under the stochastic gradient variational Bayes framework. Then, a probabilistic latent space transfer strategy is designed to reduce the discrepancy between the source and target latent features such that the knowledge from the source data can be explored and transferred to enhance the target soft sensor performance. Besides, considering the missing values in the process data in the target operating condition, the DPTR is further extended to handle the missing data problem utilizing the strong generation and reconstruction capability of the deep generative model. The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated through an industrial multiphase flow process.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
