Article Abstract
The underground coal mine production of the fully mechanized mining face exists many problems, such as poor operating environment, high accident rate and so on. Recently, the intelligent autonomous coal mining is gradually replacing the traditional mining process. The artificial intelligence technology is an active research area and is expect to identify and warn the underground abnormal conditions for intelligent longwall mining. It is inseparable from the construction of datasets, but the downhole dataset is still blank at present. This work develops an image dataset of underground longwall mining face (DsLMF+), which consists of 138004 images with annotation 6 categories of mine personnel, hydraulic support guard plate, large coal, towline, miners' behaviour and mine safety helmet. All the labels of dataset are publicly available in YOLO format and COCO format. The availability and accuracy of the datasets were reviewed by experts in coal mine field. The dataset is open access and aims to support further research and advancement of the intelligent identification and classification of abnormal conditions for underground mining.

For a long time, the management of surface structures such as villages and rivers affected by underground coal mining has been a popular and difficult issue in coal mining. With the further tightening of environmental protection requirements, it has become challenging for some underground coal mines that lack the conditions for filling and grouting to ensure the recovery of coal resources while controlling surface subsidence. Furthermore, many such common issues have emerged in the Yushen and Binchang mining areas of Shanxi Province, as well as in several other coalfields, severely constraining the development of coal energy and ecological environmental protection.

Article Synopsis
- The paper investigates challenges in supporting soft rock roadways in underground coal mining, focusing on the tailgate of longwall panel 2606 at Lvtang Coal Mine in China, where significant roadway deformation was noted despite existing support measures.
- Analysis revealed that the deformation was primarily due to the low strength and weathering of the surrounding rock, leading to the development of a new synergistic support strategy combining anchoring, shotcreting, and grouting.
- Field tests of the new support scheme resulted in a 66% reduction in rib deformation, demonstrating its effectiveness in stabilizing the tailgate and providing a reference for similar geological situations in mining.

Article Synopsis
- The collapse of overlying strata in coal mines impacts safe coal production and can lead to geological disasters like ground cracks and subsidence.
- A physical model experiment showed that the movement and caving of overlying strata change through three mining stages: initial, intermediate, and later.
- In the initial stage, minimal subsidence occurs; in the intermediate stage, vertical caving and increased subsidence happen; and in the later stage, horizontal caving and significant fractures develop, leading to distinct subsidence patterns.

Study of the interaction between fault activation and mining stress evolution in the longwall working face is helpful to provide a targeted area for fault type heavy mine pressure disaster control. Combining theoretical analysis, physical and numerical simulation, the mechanical mechanism of fault activation is analyzed, the interaction law between mining stress and fault activation is studied, and the influence of fault dip angle on the evolution of fault activation and mining stress is discussed. The minimum critical dip angles α of normal and reverse fault activation are π/4 + φ/2 and π/4-φ/2, respectively.

Article Synopsis
- Achieving high production in top coal caving from thick seams requires timely decisions on when to stop caving to minimize mining losses and costs.
- An innovative recognition system using Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) technology enables quick data collection and recognition at the mining site, overcoming limitations of existing methods with its coal-rock recognition technique.
- This method, incorporating convolution and multi-view features into a model, boasted a recognition accuracy of 99.78%, and the implemented system reached an accuracy of 92.3% in identifying the coal-caving process, aiding in optimal decision-making for roof caving.
