Sampling Strategy of Bubble Characteristics in a 1:2 Scale Curved Continuous Casting Mold: Parametric and Prediction Study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Argon gas injection in slab continuous casting is common practice to counter SEN clogging phenomena. Bubble characteristics determine the probability of bubble-driven defects such as steel cleanliness, liquid steel reoxidation, and sliver and blister defects. 1:2 scaled water model studies were performed with the help of an advanced high-speed-high-resolution camera shadowgraph imaging technique. Bubble Sauter mean diameter and count were calculated using Trainable Weka segmentation, a machine learning image-based segmentation in the ImageJ platform for different processing conditions such as gas flow rate, liquid flow rate, mold width, and submerged entry nozzle (SEN) depth. A predictive model was developed on the experimental data using an artificial neural network (ANN) algorithm to optimize the bubble mean diameter and count sampling strategy. The model performance is optimized based on the cross-validated adjusted R2. The model shows significant promise with bootstrapping aggregation, five-fold cross-validation, and improved accuracy.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
