Abstract

A method for automatically identifying emission sources in a source apportionment process of pollutants is provided, which relates to the field of air pollution prevention and control. The method includes: integrating measured source spectrum data and factor spectrum data to generate a labeled data set and an unlabeled data set, respectively; preprocessing the labeled data set to generate a continuous labeled data set; constructing a tree classification model based on the continuous labeled data set; optimizing the tree classification model to determine the optimized tree classification model; coupling the optimized tree classification model and a pseudo-labeling algorithm to generate an integrated model based on the unlabeled data set to automatically identify factor profiles in the unlabeled data set; and determining types of the emission sources based on the factor profiles. The factor profiles can be automatically identified, so that types of emission sources can be quickly determined.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein preprocessing the labeled data set to generate the continuous labeled data set comprises:
oversampling a measured source spectrum data in the labeled data set to generate oversampled measured source spectrum data; normalizing independent variables of the oversampled measured source profiles to generate normalized measured source profiles; and encoding dependent variables of the normalized measured source profiles to form the continuous labeled data set.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein constructing the tree classification model based on the continuous labeled data set comprises:
dividing the continuous labeled data set into a training data set and a testing data set; training a plurality of machine learning models by using the training data set to generate a plurality of trained machine learning models; testing each of the trained machine learning models by using the testing data set to generate evaluation indexes, wherein the evaluation indexes comprise accuracy, a precision rate and a recall rate; and screening one of the machine learning models as the tree classification model based on all of the evaluation indexes.

4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein optimizing the tree classification model to determine the optimized tree classification model comprises:
traversing a gradient change of key parameters of the optimized tree classification model to determine optimal key parameters, wherein the key parameters comprise a number of decision trees and a maximum number of features; and optimizing the tree classification model based on the optimal key parameters to determine the optimized tree classification model.

5 . The method according to claim 3 , wherein coupling the optimized tree classification model and a pseudo-labeling algorithm to generate an integrated model based on the unlabeled data set, so as to automatically identify the factor profiles in the unlabeled data set comprises:
screening factor profiles with prediction probabilities greater than a predetermined probability from the unlabeled data set by using the integrated model; assigning pseudo labels to the screened factor profiles by using the pseudo-labeling algorithm; adding a data set of the factor profiles assigned with the pseudo labels to the training data set to form a new training data set; constructing a new tree classification model based on the new training data set to identify remaining factor profiles in the unlabeled data set.
