• Abstract: The steam drum water level is a critical parameter that directly impacts the safety and efficiency of power plant operations. However, predicting the drum water level in boilers is challenging due to complex non-linear process dynamics originating from long-time delays and interrelations, as well as measurement noise. This paper investigates the application of Transformer-based models for predicting drum water levels in a steam boiler plant. Leveraging the capabilities of Transformer architectures, this study aims to develop an accurate and robust predictive framework to anticipate water level fluctuations and facilitate proactive control strategies. To this end, a prudent pipeline is proposed, including 1) data preprocess, 2) causal relation analysis, 3) delay inference, 4) variable augmentation, and 5) prediction. Through extensive experimentation and analysis, the effectiveness of Transformer-based approaches in steam drum water level prediction is evaluated, highlighting their potential to enhance operational stability and optimize plant performance.

  We design a novel Transformer-style Human-Object Interaction (HOI) detector, i.e., Structure-aware Transformer over Interaction Proposals (STIP) STIP decomposes the process of HOI set prediction into two subsequent phases, i.e., an interaction proposal generation is first performed, and then followed by transforming the non-parametric interaction proposals into HOI predictions via a structure-aware Transformer. The structure-aware Transformer upgrades vanilla Transformer by encoding additionally the holistically semantic structure among interaction proposals as well as the locally spatial structure of human/object within each interaction proposal, so as to strengthen HOI
