精准畜牧需要准确及时的热应激预测以保障动物福利并优化管理。本文提出一种融合物理信息的数字孪生(DT)框架,结合不确定性感知、专家加权的堆叠集成模型,实现对奶牛核心体温(CBT)的多模态预测。基于高频异构的MmCows数据集,该框架整合了基于常微分方程(ODE)的热调节模型(模拟代谢产热与散热)、高斯过程(捕捉个体差异)、卡尔曼滤波(对齐实时传感器数据)及行为马尔可夫链(建模环境变化下的活动状态转移)。输出包括预测的CBT、热应激概率与行为状态分布,并与原始传感数据融合,通过多尺度时间分析与跨模态特征工程生成综合特征集。预测采用三阶段堆叠集成:第一阶段训练各模态特异性轻量级梯度提升机(LightGBM)‘专家’模型;第二阶段收集其预测作为元特征;第三阶段由Optuna调优的LightGBM元模型输出最终结果。预测不确定性通过自助法量化,使用预测区间覆盖概率(PICP)验证。消融实验表明,引入DT特征与多模态融合显著提升性能。该框架在2小时前瞻预测中达到交叉验证R² 0.783、F1分数84.25%、PICP 92.38%,构建了一个鲁棒、不确定性感知且具有物理合理性的早期热应激检测系统,适用于精准畜牧管理。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Precision livestock farming requires accurate and timely heat stress prediction to ensure animal welfare and optimize farm management. This study presents a physics-informed digital twin (DT) framework combined with an uncertainty-aware, expert-weighted stacked ensemble for multimodal forecasting of Core Body Temperature (CBT) in dairy cattle. Using the high-frequency, heterogeneous MmCows dataset, the DT integrates an ordinary differential equation (ODE)-based thermoregulation model that simulates metabolic heat production and dissipation, a Gaussian process for capturing cow-specific deviations, a Kalman filter for aligning predictions with real-time sensor data, and a behavioral Markov chain that models activity-state transitions under varying environmental conditions. The DT outputs key physiological indicators, such as predicted CBT, heat stress probability, and behavioral state distributions are fused with raw sensor data and enriched through multi-scale temporal analysis and cross-modal feature engineering to form a comprehensive feature set. The predictive methodology is designed in a three-stage stacked ensemble, where stage 1 trains modality-specific LightGBM 'expert' models on distinct feature groups, stage 2 collects their predictions as meta-features, and at stage 3 Optuna-tuned LightGBM meta-model yields the final CBT forecast. Predictive uncertainty is quantified via bootstrapping and validated using Prediction Interval Coverage Probability (PICP). Ablation analysis confirms that incorporating DT-derived features and multimodal fusion substantially enhances performance. The proposed framework achieves a cross-validated R2 of 0.783, F1 score of 84.25% and PICP of 92.38% for 2-hour ahead forecasting, providing a robust, uncertainty-aware, and physically principled system for early heat stress detection and precision livestock management.
