Research on Gas Concentration Prediction Method Based on Decoupling of Temporal Feature and Dynamic Relationship Reconstruction
Yongle Yan, Yichao Zhao, Jiuwu HuiAccurate multi-channel gas concentration prediction is very important for coal mine safety. However, the dynamic reconstruction of the sensor network often interferes with the input sequence. Existing models face a critical trade-off: channel-independent models are robust to sequence changes but ignore spatial coupling, while channel-dependent models overfit fixed sequences, leading to performance collapse during rearrangements. This paper presents a gas concentration prediction framework based on channel permutation-invariant interaction (CPiRi) to reconcile these limitations. CPiRi employs a spatio-temporal decoupling architecture where a frozen univariate pre-trained encoder independently extracts temporal features to ensure sequence robustness. Subsequently, a permutation-equivariant spatial module utilizes self-attention to model inter-channel gas emission relationships based on data content rather than positional indices. To achieve true permutation invariance, we introduce channel-shuffling regularization during training, forcing the model to learn content-driven relational reasoning. Evaluations on 15 real-world Chinese coal mine datasets demonstrate that CPiRi achieves highly competitive accuracy and consistently outperforms mainstream baselines in both prediction precision and structural adaptability. This study offers a robust technical pathway for gas monitoring in dynamic environments, substantially improving the reliability of intelligent mine safety systems.
