Abstract

A cold rolling mill rolling condition calculation method includes: an estimation step of estimating a rolling constraint condition with respect to a target steady rolling condition of a roll target material, by inputting second multi-dimensional data to a prediction model, the prediction model having been trained with explanatory variable and response variable, the explanatory variable being first multi-dimensional data generated based on non-steady rolling performance data, among past rolling performance in rolling a roll material by a cold rolling mill, and the response variable being steady rolling performance data and rolling constraint condition data during steady rolling, and the second multi-dimensional data having been generated based on non-steady rolling performance data of the roll target material; and a change step of changing the target steady rolling condition so that the estimated rolling constraint condition satisfies a predetermined condition.

Claims (22)
