Entropy-based sampling for efficient training of deep learning on CNC machining dataset

Abstract

In the domain of modern manufacturing, computer numerical control (CNC) milling machines have emerged as instrumental assets. However, the data they generate is of vast amount, but usually contains redundancies and displays consistent patterns, making it inefficient for deep learning training. This paper proposes a novel sampling algorithm tailored for CNC milling machine data, emphasizing both diversity and efficiency. The proposed method leverages the entropy concept from the information-theoretic perspective to evaluate and enhance data diversity, aiming to achieve efficient learning with high accuracy. This in turn enables to not only facilitates a deeper understanding of CNC data characteristics but also contributes significantly to the optimization of deep learning training processes in the context of CNC milling data.
