Compared to other underground mines, the number of factors contributing to the rockburst at underground coal mines is much greater.Factors such as the coal seam tendency to rockbursts, the thickness of the coal seam, and the stress level in the seam have to be considered, but also the entire coal seam-surrounding rock system has to be evaluated when trying to predict the rockbursts. However, in hard coal mines, there are stroke or stress-stroke rockbursts in which the fracture of a thick layer of sandstone plays an essential role in predicting rockbursts. The occurrence of rockbursts in coal mines is complex, and their prediction is even more difficult than in other mines. In recent years, the interest in machine learning algorithms for solving complex nonlinear problems has increased, which also applies to geosciences. This study attempts to use machine learning algorithms, i.e. neural network, decision tree, random forest, gradient boosting, and extreme gradient boosting(XGB), to assess the rockburst hazard of an active hard coal mine in the Upper Silesian Coal Basin. The rock mass bursting tendency index WTGthat describes the tendency of the seam-surrounding rock system to rockbursts and the anomaly of the vertical stress component were applied for this purpose. Especially, the decision tree and neural network models were proved to be effective in correctly distinguishing rockbursts from tremors, after which the excavation was not damaged. On average, these models correctly classified about 80% of the rockbursts in the testing datasets.展开更多

This study aimed to forecast such after-sales behavior within the digital retail environment. We utilized four machine learning models: logistic regression, decision tree, random forest, and XGBoost, employing SMOTE oversampling and class weighting techniques to address class imbalance. To bolster the models’ predictive capabilities, we executed pivotal data processing steps, including feature derivation and one-hot encoding. Upon rigorous evaluation of the models’ performance through the 5-fold cross-validation method, the random forest model was identified as the superior performer, excelling in accuracy, F1 score, and AUC value, and was thus deemed the most effective model for anticipating consumer after-sales behavior. The findings from this research offer actionable strategies for e-commerce platforms to refine their after-sales services and enhance customer satisfaction.展开更多

文摘The reasonable quantification of the concrete freezing environment on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau(QTP)is the primary issue in frost resistant concrete design,which is one of the challenges that the QTP engineering managers should take into account.In this paper,we propose a more realistic method to calculate the number of concrete freeze-thaw cycles(NFTCs)on the QTP.The calculated results show that the NFTCs increase as the altitude of the meteorological station increases with the average NFTCs being 208.7.Four machine learning methods,i.e.,the random forest(RF)model,generalized boosting method(GBM),generalized linear model(GLM),and generalized additive model(GAM),are used to fit the NFTCs.The root mean square error(RMSE)values of the RF,GBM,GLM,and GAM are 32.3,4.3,247.9,and 161.3,respectively.The R^(2)values of the RF,GBM,GLM,and GAM are 0.93,0.99,0.48,and 0.66,respectively.The GBM method performs the best compared to the other three methods,which was shown by the results of RMSE and R^(2)values.The quantitative results from the GBM method indicate that the lowest,medium,and highest NFTC values are distributed in the northern,central,and southern parts of the QTP,respectively.The annual NFTCs in the QTP region are mainly concentrated at 160 and above,and the average NFTCs is 200 across the QTP.Our results can provide scientific guidance and a theoretical basis for the freezing resistance design of concrete in various projects on the QTP.
文摘The current study aimed at evaluating the capabilities of seven advanced machine learning techniques(MLTs),including,Support Vector Machine(SVM),Random Forest(RF),Multivariate Adaptive Regression Spline(MARS),Artificial Neural Network(ANN),Quadratic Discriminant Analysis(QDA),Linear Discriminant Analysis(LDA),and Naive Bayes(NB),for landslide susceptibility modeling and comparison of their performances.Coupling machine learning algorithms with spatial data types for landslide susceptibility mapping is a vitally important issue.This study was carried out using GIS and R open source software at Abha Basin,Asir Region,Saudi Arabia.First,a total of 243 landslide locations were identified at Abha Basin to prepare the landslide inventory map using different data sources.All the landslide areas were randomly separated into two groups with a ratio of 70%for training and 30%for validating purposes.Twelve landslide-variables were generated for landslide susceptibility modeling,which include altitude,lithology,distance to faults,normalized difference vegetation index(NDVI),landuse/landcover(LULC),distance to roads,slope angle,distance to streams,profile curvature,plan curvature,slope length(LS),and slope-aspect.The area under curve(AUC-ROC)approach has been applied to evaluate,validate,and compare the MLTs performance.The results indicated that AUC values for seven MLTs range from 89.0%for QDA to 95.1%for RF.Our findings showed that the RF(AUC=95.1%)and LDA(AUC=941.7%)have produced the best performances in comparison to other MLTs.The outcome of this study and the landslide susceptibility maps would be useful for environmental protection.

文摘The risk of rockbursts is one of the main threats in hard coal mines. Compared to other underground mines, the number of factors contributing to the rockburst at underground coal mines is much greater.Factors such as the coal seam tendency to rockbursts, the thickness of the coal seam, and the stress level in the seam have to be considered, but also the entire coal seam-surrounding rock system has to be evaluated when trying to predict the rockbursts. However, in hard coal mines, there are stroke or stress-stroke rockbursts in which the fracture of a thick layer of sandstone plays an essential role in predicting rockbursts. The occurrence of rockbursts in coal mines is complex, and their prediction is even more difficult than in other mines. In recent years, the interest in machine learning algorithms for solving complex nonlinear problems has increased, which also applies to geosciences. This study attempts to use machine learning algorithms, i.e. neural network, decision tree, random forest, gradient boosting, and extreme gradient boosting(XGB), to assess the rockburst hazard of an active hard coal mine in the Upper Silesian Coal Basin. The rock mass bursting tendency index WTGthat describes the tendency of the seam-surrounding rock system to rockbursts and the anomaly of the vertical stress component were applied for this purpose. Especially, the decision tree and neural network models were proved to be effective in correctly distinguishing rockbursts from tremors, after which the excavation was not damaged. On average, these models correctly classified about 80% of the rockbursts in the testing datasets.
文摘Big data analytic techniques associated with machine learning algorithms are playing an increasingly important role in various application fields,including stock market investment.However,few studies have focused on forecasting daily stock market returns,especially when using powerful machine learning techniques,such as deep neural networks(DNNs),to perform the analyses.DNNs employ various deep learning algorithms based on the combination of network structure,activation function,and model parameters,with their performance depending on the format of the data representation.This paper presents a comprehensive big data analytics process to predict the daily return direction of the SPDR S&P 500 ETF(ticker symbol:SPY)based on 60 financial and economic features.DNNs and traditional artificial neural networks(ANNs)are then deployed over the entire preprocessed but untransformed dataset,along with two datasets transformed via principal component analysis(PCA),to predict the daily direction of future stock market index returns.While controlling for overfitting,a pattern for the classification accuracy of the DNNs is detected and demonstrated as the number of the hidden layers increases gradually from 12 to 1000.Moreover,a set of hypothesis testing procedures are implemented on the classification,and the simulation results show that the DNNs using two PCA-represented datasets give significantly higher classification accuracy than those using the entire untransformed dataset,as well as several other hybrid machine learning algorithms.In addition,the trading strategies guided by the DNN classification process based on PCA-represented data perform slightly better than the others tested,including in a comparison against two standard benchmarks.
文摘Some countries have announced national benchmark rates,while others have been working on the recent trend in which the London Interbank Offered Rate will be retired at the end of 2021.Considering that Turkey announced the Turkish Lira Overnight Reference Interest Rate(TLREF),this study examines the determinants of TLREF.In this context,three global determinants,five country-level macroeconomic determinants,and the COVID-19 pandemic are considered by using daily data between December 28,2018,and December 31,2020,by performing machine learning algorithms and Ordinary Least Square.The empirical results show that(1)the most significant determinant is the amount of securities bought by Central Banks;(2)country-level macroeconomic factors have a higher impact whereas global factors are less important,and the pandemic does not have a significant effect;(3)Random Forest is the most accurate prediction model.Taking action by considering the study’s findings can help support economic growth by achieving low-level benchmark rates.
文摘This study aims to empirically analyze teaching-learning-based optimization(TLBO)and machine learning algorithms using k-means and fuzzy c-means(FCM)algorithms for their individual performance evaluation in terms of clustering and classification.In the first phase,the clustering(k-means and FCM)algorithms were employed independently and the clustering accuracy was evaluated using different computationalmeasures.During the second phase,the non-clustered data obtained from the first phase were preprocessed with TLBO.TLBO was performed using k-means(TLBO-KM)and FCM(TLBO-FCM)(TLBO-KM/FCM)algorithms.The objective function was determined by considering both minimization and maximization criteria.Non-clustered data obtained from the first phase were further utilized and fed as input for threshold optimization.Five benchmark datasets were considered from theUniversity of California,Irvine(UCI)Machine Learning Repository for comparative study and experimentation.These are breast cancer Wisconsin(BCW),Pima Indians Diabetes,Heart-Statlog,Hepatitis,and Cleveland Heart Disease datasets.The combined average accuracy obtained collectively is approximately 99.4%in case of TLBO-KM and 98.6%in case of TLBOFCM.This approach is also capable of finding the dominating attributes.The findings indicate that TLBO-KM/FCM,considering different computational measures,perform well on the non-clustered data where k-means and FCM,if employed independently,fail to provide significant results.Evaluating different feature sets,the TLBO-KM/FCM and SVM(GS)clearly outperformed all other classifiers in terms of sensitivity,specificity and accuracy.TLBOKM/FCM attained the highest average sensitivity(98.7%),highest average specificity(98.4%)and highest average accuracy(99.4%)for 10-fold cross validation with different test data.

文摘This investigation assessed the efficacy of 10 widely used machine learning algorithms(MLA)comprising the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator(LASSO),generalized linear model(GLM),stepwise generalized linear model(SGLM),elastic net(ENET),partial least square(PLS),ridge regression,support vector machine(SVM),classification and regression trees(CART),bagged CART,and random forest(RF)for gully erosion susceptibility mapping(GESM)in Iran.The location of 462 previously existing gully erosion sites were mapped through widespread field investigations,of which 70%(323)and 30%(139)of observations were arbitrarily divided for algorithm calibration and validation.Twelve controlling factors for gully erosion,namely,soil texture,annual mean rainfall,digital elevation model(DEM),drainage density,slope,lithology,topographic wetness index(TWI),distance from rivers,aspect,distance from roads,plan curvature,and profile curvature were ranked in terms of their importance using each MLA.The MLA were compared using a training dataset for gully erosion and statistical measures such as RMSE(root mean square error),MAE(mean absolute error),and R-squared.Based on the comparisons among MLA,the RF algorithm exhibited the minimum RMSE and MAE and the maximum value of R-squared,and was therefore selected as the best model.The variable importance evaluation using the RF model revealed that distance from rivers had the highest significance in influencing the occurrence of gully erosion whereas plan curvature had the least importance.According to the GESM generated using RF,most of the study area is predicted to have a low(53.72%)or moderate(29.65%)susceptibility to gully erosion,whereas only a small area is identified to have a high(12.56%)or very high(4.07%)susceptibility.The outcome generated by RF model is validated using the ROC(Receiver Operating Characteristics)curve approach,which returned an area under the curve(AUC)of 0.985,proving the excellent forecasting ability of the model.The GESM prepared using the RF algorithm can aid decision-makers in targeting remedial actions for minimizing the damage caused by gully erosion.

文摘Climate change has intensified maize stalk lodging,severely impacting global maize production.While numerous traits influence stalk lodging resistance,their relative importance remains unclear,hindering breeding efforts.This study introduces an combining wind tunnel testing with machine learning algorithms to quantitatively evaluate stalk lodging resistance traits.Through extensive field experiments and literature review,we identified and measured 74 phenotypic traits encompassing plant morphology,biomass,and anatomical characteristics in maize plants.Correlation analysis revealed a median linear correlation coefficient of 0.497 among these traits,with 15.1%of correlations exceeding 0.8.Principal component analysis showed that the first five components explained 90%of the total variance,indicating significant trait interactions.Through feature engineering and gradient boosting regression,we developed a high-precision wind speed-ear displacement prediction model(R^(2)=0.93)and identified 29 key traits critical for stalk lodging resistance.Sensitivity analysis revealed plant height as the most influential factor(sensitivity coefficient:−3.87),followed by traits of the 7th internode including epidermis layer thickness(0.62),pith area(−0.60),and lignin content(0.35).Our methodological framework not only provides quantitative insights into maize stalk lodging resistance mechanisms but also establishes a systematic approach for trait evaluation.The findings offer practical guidance for breeding programs focused on enhancing stalk lodging resistance and yield stability under climate change conditions,with potential applications in agronomic practice optimization and breeding strategy development.

文摘The state of New York admitted 143 million metric tons of carbon emissions from fossil fuels in 2020,prompting the ambitious goal set by the CLCPA to achieve carbon neutrality.The paper focused on analyzing and predicting carbon emissions using four different machine-learning algorithms.It examined emissions from fossil fuel combustion from 1990 to 2020 and validated four different algorithms to choose the most effective one for predicting emissions from 2020 to 2050.The analysis covered various economic sectors including transportation,residential,commer-cial,industrial,and electric power.By analyzing policies,the paper forecasted emissions for 2030 and 2050,leading to the identification of different pathways to reach carbon neutrality.The research concluded that in order to achieve neutrality,radical measures must be taken by the state of New York.Additionally,the paper compared the most recent data for 2021 with the forecasts,showing that significant measures need to be implemented to achieve the goal of carbon neutrality.Despite some studies assuming a trend of decreased emissions,the research revealed different results.The paper presents three pathways,two of which follow the ambitious plan to reach carbon neutrality.As a result,the emission amount by 2050 for the different pathways was projected to be 31.1,22.4,and 111.95 of MMt CO_(2) e,showcasing the need for urgent action to combat climate change.
文摘A Trombe wall-heating system is used to absorb solar energy to heat buildings.Different parameters affect the system performance for optimal heating.This study evaluated the performance of four machine learning algorithms—linear regression,k-nearest neighbors,random forest,and decision tree—for predicting the room temperature in a Trombe wall system.The accuracy of the algorithms was assessed using R^(2)and root mean squared error(RMSE)values.The results demonstrated that the k-nearest neighbors and random forest algorithms exhibited superior performance,with R^(2)and RMSE values of 1 and 0.In contrast,linear regression and decision tree showed weaker performance.These findings highlight the potential of advanced machine learning algorithms for accurate room temperature prediction in Trombe wall systems,enabling informed design decisions to enhance energy efficiency.
文摘In today's digital age,the popularity and development of online education systems provide students with more flexible and convenient ways of learning.However,students'adaptation to the online education system is affected by a variety of factors,including gender,age,educational background,and field of specialisation.Through in-depth analyses and studies of these factors,the following conclusions can be drawn:gender has little influence on students'adaptation to online education,and male and female students perform similarly overall,but the proportion of male students at high adaptation levels is significantly higher than that of females.The majority of students show medium adaptability,indicating that the overall effect of online education is average.students in the age groups of 6-10,16-20 and 26-30 years old have lower adaptability levels,and there are more low adaptability groups among students in colleges and universities.students majoring in IT are more adapted to the online education system,and students not majoring in IT have relatively poorer adaptability level.Local students are more adaptable to online education than foreign students.In areas with unstable electricity,students'adaptability is usually lower.The decision tree algorithm predictions showed good overall model accuracy,with higher prediction accuracy for students with high,low and medium levels of adaptability.The test set accuracy was 93.27%,and the precision and recall were both 93.33%,indicating excellent model predictions.In summary,by deeply analysing the influence of various factors on students'adaptation degree to online education and using the random forest algorithm to make predictions,it can provide an important reference for improving the effectiveness of online education systems and provide useful insights for personalised education.

文摘This study examines the feasibility of using a machine learning approach for rapid damage assessment of rein-forced concrete(RC)buildings after the earthquake.Since the real-world damaged datasets are lacking,have limited access,or are imbalanced,a simulation dataset is prepared by conducting a nonlinear time history analy-sis.Different machine learning(ML)models are trained considering the structural parameters and ground motion characteristics to predict the RC building damage into five categories:null,slight,moderate,heavy,and collapse.The random forest classifier(RFC)has achieved a higher prediction accuracy on testing and real-world damaged datasets.The structural parameters can be extracted using different means such as Google Earth,Open Street Map,unmanned aerial vehicles,etc.However,recording the ground motion at a closer distance requires the installation of a dense array of sensors which requires a higher cost.For places with no earthquake recording station/device,it is difficult to have ground motion characteristics.For that different ML-based regressor models are developed utilizing past-earthquake information to predict ground motion parameters such as peak ground acceleration and peak ground velocity.The random forest regressor(RFR)achieved better results than other regression models on testing and validation datasets.Furthermore,compared with the results of similar research works,a better result is obtained using RFC and RFR on validation datasets.In the end,these models are uti-lized to predict the damage categories of RC buildings at Saitama University and Okubo Danchi,Saitama,Japan after an earthquake.This damage information is crucial for government agencies or decision-makers to respond systematically in post-disaster situations.

文摘With the rapid growth of e-commerce and online transactions, e-commerce platforms face a critical challenge: predicting consumer behavior after purchase. This study aimed to forecast such after-sales behavior within the digital retail environment. We utilized four machine learning models: logistic regression, decision tree, random forest, and XGBoost, employing SMOTE oversampling and class weighting techniques to address class imbalance. To bolster the models’ predictive capabilities, we executed pivotal data processing steps, including feature derivation and one-hot encoding. Upon rigorous evaluation of the models’ performance through the 5-fold cross-validation method, the random forest model was identified as the superior performer, excelling in accuracy, F1 score, and AUC value, and was thus deemed the most effective model for anticipating consumer after-sales behavior. The findings from this research offer actionable strategies for e-commerce platforms to refine their after-sales services and enhance customer satisfaction.
