본 연구에서는 support vector regression (SVR) 및 매개변수 최적화 알고리즘을 이용한 하천수위 예측모델을 구축하고 이를 실제 유역에 적용하여 모델 효율성을 평가하였다. 여기서, SVR은 하천수위를 예측하기 위한 예측모델로서 채택되었으며, 커널함수 (Kernel function)로서는 radial basis function (RBF)을 선택하였다. 최적화 알고리즘은 SVR의 최적 매개변수 (C?, cost parameter or regularization parameter; ${\gamma}$, RBF parameter; ${\epsilon}$, insensitive loss function parameter)를 탐색하기 위하여 적용되었다. 매개변수 최적화 알고리즘으로는 grid search (GS), genetic algorithm (GA), particle swarm optimization (PSO), artificial bee colony (ABC) 알고리즘을 채택하였으며, 비교분석을 통해 최적화 알고리즘의 적용성을 평가하였다. 또한 SVR과 최적화 알고리즘을 결합한 모델 (SVR-GS, SVR-GA, SVR-PSO, SVR-ABC)은 기존에 수자원 분야에서 널리 적용되어온 신경망(Artificial neural network, ANN) 및 뉴로퍼지 (Adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system, ANFIS) 모델과 비교하였다. 그 결과, 모델 효율성 측면에서 SVR-GS, SVR-GA, SVR-PSO 및 SVR-ABC는 ANN보다 우수한 결과를 나타내었으며, ANFIS와는 비슷한 결과를 나타내었다. 또한 SVR-GA, SVR-PSO 및 SVR-ABC는 SVR-GS보다 상대적으로 우수한 결과를 나타내었으며, 모델 효율성 측면에서 SVR-PSO 및 SVR-ABC는 가장 우수한 모델 성능을 나타내었다. 따라서 본 연구에서 적용한 매개변수 최적화 알고리즘은 SVR의 매개변수를 최적화하는데 효과적임을 확인할 수 있었다. SVR과 최적화 알고리즘을 이용한 하천수위 예측모델은 기존의 ANN 및 ANFIS 모델과 더불어 하천수위 예측을 위한 효과적인 도구로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

In recent years, the use of Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRPs) as one of the most common ways to increase the strength of concrete samples, has been introduced. Evaluation of the final strength of these specimens is performed with different experimental methods. In this research, due to the variety of models, the low accuracy and impact of different parameters, the use of new intelligence methods is considered. Therefore, using artificial intelligent-based models, a new solution for evaluating the bond strength of FRP is presented in this paper. 150 experimental samples were collected from previous studies, and then two new hybrid models of Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (ICA)-Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Artificial Bee Colony (ABC)-ANN were developed. These models were evaluated using different performance indices and then, a comparison was made between the developed models. The results showed that the ICA-ANN model's ability to predict the bond strength of FRP is higher than the ABC-ANN model. Finally, to demonstrate the capabilities of this new model, a comparison was made between the five experimental models and the results were presented for all data. This comparison showed that the new model could offer better performance. It is concluded that the proposed hybrid models can be utilized in the field of this study as a suitable substitute for empirical models.

The measurement and monitoring of the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) play an important role in the planning and operation of wastewater treatment plants. The most basic method for determining biochemical oxygen demand is direct measurement. However, this method is both expensive and takes a long time. A five-day period is required to determine the biochemical oxygen demand. This study has been carried out in a wastewater treatment plant in Turkey (Hurma WWTP) in order to estimate the biochemical oxygen demand a shorter time and with a lower cost. Estimation was performed using artificial neural network (ANN) method. There are three different methods in the training of artificial neural networks, respectively, multi-layered (ML-ANN), teaching learning based algorithm (TLBO-ANN) and artificial bee colony algorithm (ABC-ANN). The input flow (Q), wastewater temperature (t), pH, chemical oxygen demand (COD), suspended sediment (SS), total phosphorus (tP), total nitrogen (tN), and electrical conductivity of wastewater (EC) are used as the input parameters to estimate the BOD. The root mean squared error (RMSE) and the mean absolute error (MAE) values were used in evaluating performance criteria for each model. As a result of the general evaluation, the ML-ANN method provided the best estimation results both training and test series with 0.8924 and 0.8442 determination coefficient, respectively.

Manufacturers and retailers are interested in how prices, promotions, discounts and other marketing variables can influence the sales and shares of the products that they produce or sell. Therefore, many models have been developed to predict the brand share. Since the customer choice models are usually used to predict the market share, here we use hybrid model of Probabilistic Neural Network and Artificial Bee colony Algorithm (PNN-ABC) that we have introduced to model consumer choice to predict brand share. The evaluation process is carried out using the same data set that we have used for modeling individual consumer choices in a retail coffee market. Then, to show good performance of this model we compare it with Artificial Neural Network with one hidden layer, Artificial Neural Network with two hidden layer, Artificial Neural Network trained with genetic algorithms (ANN-GA), and Probabilistic Neural Network. The evaluated results show that the offered model is outperforms better than other previous models, so it can be use as an effective tool for modeling consumer choice and predicting market share.
