Detailed Description
Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which various details of the embodiments of the present invention are included to facilitate understanding, and are to be considered merely exemplary. Accordingly, those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications of the embodiments described herein can be made without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention. Also, descriptions of well-known functions and constructions are omitted in the following description for clarity and conciseness.
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the main flow of a method for item picking duration prediction according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, the method for item picking duration prediction according to an embodiment of the present invention mainly includes:
Step S101: feature data and historical picking time of the sample object are obtained. The characteristic data of the sample object at least comprises: number of single picks, weight, volume, number of shelf layers where the sample object is located. Wherein, the number of single picking items refers to the number of objects to be picked in each picking operation; weight refers to the total weight of the subject during this pick; volume refers to the total volume of the subject during this pick; the number of shelf layers in which a sample object is located indicates the location of the shelf in which the object is located. In order to improve the accuracy of the determined model, the picking time of the object is the real picking time in the historical picking data, namely, the difference value y between the time point y1 when the picking personnel sees the screen picking command and the time point y2 when the picking personnel picks the last article of the same article and scans the article, and the picking time y=y2-y 1. In another embodiment of the invention, the picking time of the sample object may also be determined manually based on experience, and is not necessarily real picking time data.
Step S102: and determining a kernel matrix based on the preset kernel function and the characteristic data of the sample object. Kernel functions include linear kernel functions, polynomial kernel functions, gaussian kernel functions, etc., where gaussian kernel functions are most commonly used, which map data to infinity, also called radial basis functions (Radial Basis Function abbreviated RBFs), and are some sort of scalar function that is radially symmetric. A monotonic function, typically defined as the euclidean distance between any point x in space to some center xc, can be denoted as k (||x-xc|). The original existing feature data of the object can be mapped from European space to high-dimensional (even infinite-dimensional) regenerated kernel Hilbert space, namely x i→Φ(xi),φ(xi, into x i mapped feature vectors through a kernel function.
Specifically, based on a preset kernel function, mapping the characteristic data of the sample object to infinite dimensions; the preset kernel function is a gaussian kernel function. And determining a core matrix according to the mapping result. And determining the regulation and control parameters of a preset kernel function through ten-fold cross validation; and mapping the characteristic data of the sample object to infinite dimension according to the regulation parameters and a preset kernel function. The most commonly used radial basis function is the gaussian kernel function, the radial basis function (Radial Basis Function abbreviated RBF), which is some kind of radially symmetric scalar function. The Gaussian kernel function is to directly map the variable of the input space into an infinite dimensional space, so that the problem of insufficient information quantity of the input space can be effectively solved, and a specific mapping function relation is not needed to be known. The gaussian kernel function is:
Wherein sigma is the width parameter (regulation parameter) of the function, which controls the radial action range of the function. Bringing the taylor expansion into the gaussian kernel yields a mapping of infinite dimensions:
Then the inner product form for x 1 and x 2 fits the inner product calculation at infinity in the SVM, i.e. the gaussian kernel maps the data to an infinitely high dimension.
And, ten-fold cross-validation, called 10-fold cross-validation, is used to test algorithm accuracy. Is a common test method. The data set was divided into ten parts, 9 parts of which were used as training data and 1 part as test data in turn, and the test was performed. Each test gives a corresponding correct rate (or error rate). As an estimation of the accuracy of the algorithm, an average value of the accuracy (or error rate) of the result of 10 times is generally required to perform 10-fold cross-validation (e.g., 10 times 10-fold cross-validation), and then the average value is obtained as an estimation of the accuracy of the algorithm.
Step S103: and determining a picking time prediction model according to the historical picking time of the sample object and the nuclear matrix. Specifically, the model parameter α is determined by the following formula:
Wherein K is a kernel matrix, Is the historical picking time period of the sample object.
Building a picking time model, which is easy to know
Wherein,
(X′X)-2=(X′X)-1(X′X)-1,α=X(X′X)-2X′y
Considering the mapping phi, let
Where X 1,x2,……,xn is n sample points in the sample object feature data set X.
And
X(X′X)X′α=XX′y
Accordingly, there are
Let the core matrix
Thus there is
KKα=Ky
Thus, there are
α=K-1y
Based on the model parameter alpha, determining a picking duration prediction model as follows:
y=[1+k(x1,x),…,1+k(xn,x)]α
Wherein y is the picking time of the object, and x 1,...,xN is the characteristic data of n sample objects respectively; k (x i, x) is a kernel function, i=1, 2.
From the above, the embodiment of the invention is based on the least square method and the quadratic loss function, and has a clear solving expression. Compared with the support vector machine which is a range loss function, the method has the advantages that an explicit solving expression is not available, the calculation speed is low, variable selection is not easy to realize, and the calculation speed is high.
After the process, the number of the feature data is reduced according to a preset step length, and the reduced feature data is used as a feature data set to be calculated. All variables may be tried stepwise by reducing 1 variable at a time until reducing to 1 variable, and the mean square error over the test set is calculated each time (the square of the actual and predicted value differences for each sample point is calculated and then averaged). Therefore, based on the determined picking time length prediction model, the mean square error of each feature data set to be calculated is determined. And taking the feature data set to be calculated corresponding to the minimum mean square error as an adjustment feature data set, and adjusting the picking time length prediction model based on the adjustment feature data set. Since the gaussian kernel is chosen, as described above, a few variables in the original input space are mapped to an infinite number of variables in the hilbert space, at which point the under-fitting problem may become an over-fitting problem.
Assuming a sample size of 100, there are 4 raw independent variables (weight, volume, number of pieces, number of layers) and the dependent variable is the picking duration. First, 70 sample points were randomly selected as training sets and 30 as test sets. Prior to calculation, the total sample data is divided into a training set and a test set, the latter typically representing 30% of the total sample size. Then, a variable, such as a volume, is removed, and the corresponding mse1 (mean square error) is calculated; the volume is reserved, the weight is removed, the corresponding mse2 is calculated, and the method is performed by analogy, so that 4 mean square errors mse can be obtained. The smallest mse is found, assuming mse1. And then, one of the weight, number of pieces, and number of layers is removed, in a manner similar to that previously described. Until only one variable remains. Then comparing which mse is smaller when 1, 2 and 3 variables are removed, the corresponding variable set is the last variable, and finally substituting the last variable into formula calculation to adjust the model. For example, after the calculation, it is determined that the mean square error of the feature data set "weight, number of pieces" is the smallest among all the feature data combinations, the adjusted model is the two features related to the weight and the number of pieces, when the picking time of the commodity is predicted based on the model, the weight and the number of pieces of the commodity are directly acquired (other feature data related to the training process are not acquired), and based on the adjusted model, the picking time of the commodity can be calculated.
Taking an unmanned warehouse with an automatic guided vehicle AGV as a main robot as an example, the method for predicting the article picking time length is further described. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a method for item picking duration prediction according to an embodiment of the present invention.
For the embodiment of the invention, the kernel function can expand the information in the limited dimension into the information in the infinite dimension, so the technical scheme solves the problem of insufficient characteristic information by using the kernel function. And based on the kernel function, the function relation between the picking time length and the characteristic data can be conveniently determined, and the problem that the existing function model needs to be provided with a model form in advance is solved. The embodiment of the invention not only improves the prediction accuracy and reduces the error rate, but also reduces the workload in logistics simulation. Also, to prevent overfitting, embodiments of the present invention are controlled by way of variable selection.
As shown in fig. 2, a method for item picking duration prediction according to an embodiment of the present invention includes:
Step S201: and acquiring characteristic data of the sample commodity. In the unmanned bin, goods are stored on shelves, each shelf has a plurality of layers, and each layer is divided into different goods lattices. After the user orders, the AGV trolley receives the corresponding instruction, firstly finds a proper goods shelf and then carries the goods shelf to a workstation. Then, the sorting personnel will sort out a certain amount of goods from a certain goods lattice of a certain layer of the goods shelf according to the instruction on the computer screen. The number of single picks, the weight and the volume of the same commodity and the number of shelf layers where the commodity is located can be extracted only under the influence of the availability of the data, and the characteristic data matrix is marked as X.
Step S202: and collecting the historical picking time of the sample commodity. And (3) recording the time point when the picking personnel sees the screen picking command, setting the time point as y1, recording the time for scanning the goods lattice after the picking personnel picks the last piece of the same goods as y2, and taking the y=y2-y 1 as the historical picking time length y of the sample goods.
Step S203: feature data of the original existing commodity is mapped from European space to an infinite-dimensional regeneration kernel Hilbert space through a Gaussian kernel function. Hilbert space refers to a complete inner product space. It can be regarded as a generalization of the European space. In European space, vectors are finite dimensions and define inner products. If the inner product space of the finite dimension is generalized to the inner product space of the infinite dimension, the inner product space is Hilbert space. Whether the space is complete is determined by convergence of all Cauchy (Cauchy) columns in the space.
Step S204: calculating a kernel matrix K:
and, the unknown parameter sigma 2 in the kernel function is determined by means of 10-fold cross-validation.
Step S205: determining a model parameter alpha according to the historical picking time length of the sample object and the nuclear matrix K:
Step S206: the model is adjusted by techniques of backward variable selection. All the independent variables in the original input space are substituted into calculation, and the mean square error on the test set is calculated. Every time 1 variable is reduced, all variables are tried stepwise until 1 variable is reduced, and the mean square error over the test set is calculated each time. And selecting the variable set corresponding to the minimum mean square error as the finally selected variable set.
The embodiment of the invention solves the problem in prediction by means of a kernel function. The kernel function can extend information in a finite dimension to information in an infinite dimension. Because of the mapping of data to the high-dimensional regenerated kernel hilbert space (Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Space, RKHS), there may be overfitting issues, and to prevent overfitting, embodiments of the present invention are controlled by way of variable selection.

The model determining module 303 is configured to determine a picking duration prediction model according to the historical picking duration of the sample object and the kernel matrix. The model determination module is further configured to determine the model parameter α by the following formula:
Wherein K is a kernel matrix, Historical picking time length for the sample object;
