| dc.description.abstract | In this study, a long short-term memory (LSTM) model is trained on a large disruption warning database to predict the disruption on EAST tokomak. To compare the performance of the proposed model with the previously reported full convolutional neural network (CNN) (Guo et al 2020 Plasma Phys. Control. Fusion 63 025008), the same data set and diagnostic signals are used. Based on the test set, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, i.e. the AUC value of the LSTM model is obtained as 0.87, and the true positive rate (TPR) is sim87.5%, while the false positive rate (FPR) is sim15.1%. Since the LSTM model is more sensitive to radiation fluctuations than CNN, the prediction performance of LSTM model is inferior to that of CNN model (for CNN, AUC sim 0.92, TPR sim 87.5%, FPR sim 6.1%). However, the advance warning time of LSTM model is 14 ms earlier than that of CNN. To reduce the FPR and improve the performance of the model, more fast bolometer channels are added as the input signals of the LSTM model, including the radiation from the upper and lower edges and the plasma core. Consequently, for the same test set, the AUC value increases to 0.89, and the FPR decreases to sim9.4%, but the TPR also decreases to sim83.9%. In addition, the sensitivity of the model to radiation fluctuations caused by impurity behavior decreases significantly, and the warning time becomes 8.7 ms earlier as compared to that of the original model. Overall, it is proved that deep learning algorithms exhibit immense application potential in the disruption prediction of long-pulse fusion devices. | |
