Accurate state-of-health(SOH) estimation is critical for ensuring battery operational performance. Despite numerous data-driven methods reported in existing research for battery SOH estimation, these methods often exhibit inconsistent performance across different application scenarios. To address this issue and overcome the performance limitations of individual data-driven models,integrating multiple models for SOH estimation has received considerable attention. Ensemble learning(EL) typically leverages the strengths of multiple base models to achieve more robust and accurate outputs. However, the lack of a clear review of current research hinders the further development of ensemble methods in SOH estimation. Therefore, this paper comprehensively reviews multi-model ensemble learning methods for battery SOH estimation. First, existing ensemble methods are systematically categorized into 6 classes based on their combination strategies. Different realizations and underlying connections are meticulously analyzed for each category of EL methods, highlighting distinctions, innovations, and typical applications. Subsequently, these ensemble methods are comprehensively compared in terms of base models, combination strategies, and publication trends. Evaluations across 6 dimensions underscore the outstanding performance of stacking-based ensemble methods. Following this, these ensemble methods are further inspected from the perspectives of weighted ensemble and diversity, aiming to inspire potential approaches for enhancing ensemble performance. Moreover, addressing challenges such as base model selection, measuring model robustness and uncertainty, and interpretability of ensemble models in practical applications is emphasized. Finally, future research prospects are outlined, specifically noting that deep learning ensemble is poised to advance ensemble methods for battery SOH estimation. The convergence of advanced machine learning with ensemble learning is anticipated to yield valuable avenues for research. Accelerated research in ensemble learning holds promising prospects for achieving more accurate and reliable battery SOH estimation under real-world conditions.展开更多

However, this process still encounters numerous challenges in attaining optimal economic and environmental performance. Therefore, an ensemble learning (EL) framework is proposed for the BCP process in this study to optimize the synergistic benefits while minimizing negative environmental impacts. Six different ensemble learning models are developed to investigate the impact of input features, such as biomass characteristics, coal characteristics, and pyrolysis conditions on the product profit and CO_(2) emissions of the BCP processes. The Optuna method is further employed to automatically optimize the hyperparameters of BCP process models for enhancing their predictive accuracy and robustness. The results indicate that the categorical boosting (CAB) model of the BCP process has demonstrated exceptional performance in accurately predicting its product profit and CO_(2) emission (R2>0.92) after undergoing five-fold cross-validation. To enhance the interpretability of this preferred model, the Shapley additive explanations and partial dependence plot analyses are conducted to evaluate the impact and importance of biomass characteristics, coal characteristics, and pyrolysis conditions on the product profitability and CO_(2) emissions of the BCP processes. Finally, the preferred model coupled with a reference vector guided evolutionary algorithm is carried to identify the optimal conditions for maximizing the product profit of BCP process products while minimizing CO_(2) emissions. It indicates the optimal BCP process can achieve high product profits (5290.85 CNY·t−1) and low CO_(2) emissions (7.45 kg·t^(−1)).展开更多

文摘With the rapid development of economy,air pollution caused by industrial expansion has caused serious harm to human health and social development.Therefore,establishing an effective air pollution concentration prediction system is of great scientific and practical significance for accurate and reliable predictions.This paper proposes a combination of pointinterval prediction system for pollutant concentration prediction by leveraging neural network,meta-heuristic optimization algorithm,and fuzzy theory.Fuzzy information granulation technology is used in data preprocessing to transform numerical sequences into fuzzy particles for comprehensive feature extraction.The golden Jackal optimization algorithm is employed in the optimization stage to fine-tune model hyperparameters.In the prediction stage,an ensemble learning method combines training results frommultiplemodels to obtain final point predictions while also utilizing quantile regression and kernel density estimation methods for interval predictions on the test set.Experimental results demonstrate that the combined model achieves a high goodness of fit coefficient of determination(R^(2))at 99.3% and a maximum difference between prediction accuracy mean absolute percentage error(MAPE)and benchmark model at 12.6%.This suggests that the integrated learning system proposed in this paper can provide more accurate deterministic predictions as well as reliable uncertainty analysis compared to traditionalmodels,offering practical reference for air quality early warning.

文摘Accurately evaluating the safety status of lithium-ion battery systems in electric vehicles is imperative due to the challenges in effectively predicting potential battery failure risks under stochastic profiles.Complex battery fault mechanisms and limited poor-quality data collection impede fault detection for battery systems under real-world conditions.This paper proposes a novel graph-guided fault detection method designed to recognize concealed anomalies in realistic data.Graphs guided by physical relationships are constructed for learning the dynamic evolution of physical quantities under normal conditions and their potential change characteristics in fault scenarios.An ensemble Graph Sample and Aggregate Network model are developed to tackle sample distribution imbalances and non-uniformity battery system specifications across vehicles.Failure risk probabilities for diverse battery charging and discharging segments are derived.An ablation study verifies the necessity of ensemble learning in addressing imbalanced datasets.Analysis of 102,095 segments across 86 vehicles with different battery material systems,battery capacities,and numbers of cells and temperature sensors confirms the robustness and generalization of the proposed method,yielding a recall of 98.37%.By introducing the graph,spatio-temporal global fault characteristics of battery systems are automatically extracted.The coupling relationship and evolution of physical quantities under both normal and faulty states are established,effectively uncovering fault information hidden in collected battery data without observable anomalies.The safety state of battery systems is reflected in terms of failure risk probability,providing reliable data support for battery system maintenance.
文摘Cloud computing(CC) provides infrastructure,storage services,and applications to the users that should be secured by some procedures or policies.Security in the cloud environment becomes essential to safeguard infrastructure and user information from unauthorized access by implementing timely intrusion detection systems(IDS).Ensemble learning harnesses the collective power of multiple machine learning(ML) methods with feature selection(FS)process aids to progress the sturdiness and overall precision of intrusion detection.Therefore,this article presents a meta-heuristic feature selection by ensemble learning-based anomaly detection(MFS-ELAD)algorithm for the CC platforms.To realize this objective,the proposed approach utilizes a min-max standardization technique.Then,higher dimensionality features are decreased by Prairie Dogs Optimizer(PDO) algorithm.For the recognition procedure,the MFS-ELAD method emulates a group of 3 DL techniques such as sparse auto-encoder(SAE),stacked long short-term memory(SLSTM),and Elman neural network(ENN) algorithms.Eventually,the parameter fine-tuning of the DL algorithms occurs utilizing the sand cat swarm optimizer(SCSO) approach that helps in improving the recognition outcomes.The simulation examination of MFS-ELAD system on the CSE-CIC-IDS2018 dataset exhibits its promising performance across another method using a maximal precision of 99.71%.

文摘Accurate wind power forecasting is critical for system integration and stability as renewable energy reliance grows.Traditional approaches frequently struggle with complex data and non-linear connections. This article presentsa novel approach for hybrid ensemble learning that is based on rigorous requirements engineering concepts.The approach finds significant parameters influencing forecasting accuracy by evaluating real-time Modern-EraRetrospective Analysis for Research and Applications (MERRA2) data from several European Wind farms usingin-depth stakeholder research and requirements elicitation. Ensemble learning is used to develop a robust model,while a temporal convolutional network handles time-series complexities and data gaps. The ensemble-temporalneural network is enhanced by providing different input parameters including training layers, hidden and dropoutlayers along with activation and loss functions. The proposed framework is further analyzed by comparing stateof-the-art forecasting models in terms of Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) and Mean Absolute Error (MAE),respectively. The energy efficiency performance indicators showed that the proposed model demonstrates errorreduction percentages of approximately 16.67%, 28.57%, and 81.92% for MAE, and 38.46%, 17.65%, and 90.78%for RMSE for MERRAWind farms 1, 2, and 3, respectively, compared to other existingmethods. These quantitativeresults show the effectiveness of our proposed model with MAE values ranging from 0.0010 to 0.0156 and RMSEvalues ranging from 0.0014 to 0.0174. This work highlights the effectiveness of requirements engineering in windpower forecasting, leading to enhanced forecast accuracy and grid stability, ultimately paving the way for moresustainable energy solutions.

文摘Incredible progress has been made in human action recognition(HAR),significantly impacting computer vision applications in sports analytics.However,identifying dynamic and complex movements in sports like badminton remains challenging due to the need for precise recognition accuracy and better management of complex motion patterns.Deep learning techniques like convolutional neural networks(CNNs),long short-term memory(LSTM),and graph convolutional networks(GCNs)improve recognition in large datasets,while the traditional machine learning methods like SVM(support vector machines),RF(random forest),and LR(logistic regression),combined with handcrafted features and ensemble approaches,perform well but struggle with the complexity of fast-paced sports like badminton.We proposed an ensemble learning model combining support vector machines(SVM),logistic regression(LR),random forest(RF),and adaptive boosting(AdaBoost)for badminton action recognition.The data in this study consist of video recordings of badminton stroke techniques,which have been extracted into spatiotemporal data.The three-dimensional distance between each skeleton point and the right hip represents the spatial features.The temporal features are the results of Fast Dynamic Time Warping(FDTW)calculations applied to 15 frames of each video sequence.The weighted ensemble model employs soft voting classifiers from SVM,LR,RF,and AdaBoost to enhance the accuracy of badminton action recognition.The E2 ensemble model,which combines SVM,LR,and AdaBoost,achieves the highest accuracy of 95.38%.

文摘The software development process mostly depends on accurately identifying both essential and optional features.Initially,user needs are typically expressed in free-form language,requiring significant time and human resources to translate these into clear functional and non-functional requirements.To address this challenge,various machine learning(ML)methods have been explored to automate the understanding of these requirements,aiming to reduce time and human effort.However,existing techniques often struggle with complex instructions and large-scale projects.In our study,we introduce an innovative approach known as the Functional and Non-functional Requirements Classifier(FNRC).By combining the traditional random forest algorithm with the Accuracy Sliding Window(ASW)technique,we develop optimal sub-ensembles that surpass the initial classifier’s accuracy while using fewer trees.Experimental results demonstrate that our FNRC methodology performs robustly across different datasets,achieving a balanced Precision of 75%on the PROMISE dataset and an impressive Recall of 85%on the CCHIT dataset.Both datasets consistently maintain an F-measure around 64%,highlighting FNRC’s ability to effectively balance precision and recall in diverse scenarios.These findings contribute to more accurate and efficient software development processes,increasing the probability of achieving successful project outcomes.

文摘Real-time prediction of the rock mass class in front of the tunnel face is essential for the adaptive adjustment of tunnel boring machines(TBMs).During the TBM tunnelling process,a large number of operation data are generated,reflecting the interaction between the TBM system and surrounding rock,and these data can be used to evaluate the rock mass quality.This study proposed a stacking ensemble classifier for the real-time prediction of the rock mass classification using TBM operation data.Based on the Songhua River water conveyance project,a total of 7538 TBM tunnelling cycles and the corresponding rock mass classes are obtained after data preprocessing.Then,through the tree-based feature selection method,10 key TBM operation parameters are selected,and the mean values of the 10 selected features in the stable phase after removing outliers are calculated as the inputs of classifiers.The preprocessed data are randomly divided into the training set(90%)and test set(10%)using simple random sampling.Besides stacking ensemble classifier,seven individual classifiers are established as the comparison.These classifiers include support vector machine(SVM),k-nearest neighbors(KNN),random forest(RF),gradient boosting decision tree(GBDT),decision tree(DT),logistic regression(LR)and multilayer perceptron(MLP),where the hyper-parameters of each classifier are optimised using the grid search method.The prediction results show that the stacking ensemble classifier has a better performance than individual classifiers,and it shows a more powerful learning and generalisation ability for small and imbalanced samples.Additionally,a relative balance training set is obtained by the synthetic minority oversampling technique(SMOTE),and the influence of sample imbalance on the prediction performance is discussed.
