Over the last few years, one of the most common purposes of smart homes is to provide human centric services in the domain of u-healthcare by analyzing inhabitants' daily living. Currently, the major challenges in activity recognition include the reliability of prediction of each classifier as they differ according to smart homes characteristics. Smart homes indicate variation in terms of performed activities, deployed sensors, environment settings, and inhabitants' characteristics. It is not possible that one classifier always performs better than all the other classifiers for every possible situation. This observation has motivated towards combining multiple classifiers to take advantage of their complementary performance for high accuracy. Therefore, in this paper, a method for activity recognition is proposed by optimizing the output of multiple classifiers with Genetic Algorithm (GA). Our proposed method combines the measurement level output of different classifiers for each activity class to make up the ensemble. For the evaluation of the proposed method, experiments are performed on three real datasets from CASAS smart home. The results show that our method systematically outperforms single classifier and traditional multiclass models. The significant improvement is achieved from 0.82 to 0.90 in the F-measures of recognized activities as compare to existing methods.

A rainfall simulation and forecasting technique that can generate daily rainfall sequences conditional on multi-model ensemble GCMs is developed and applied to data in Korea for the major rainy season. The GCM forecasts are provided by APEC climate center. A Weather State Based Downscaling Model (WSDM) is used to map teleconnections from ocean-atmosphere data or key state variables from numerical integrations of Ocean-Atmosphere General Circulation Models to simulate daily sequences at multiple rain gauges. The method presented is general and is applied to the wet season which is JJA(June-July-August) data in Korea. The sequences of weather states identified by the EM algorithm are shown to correspond to dominant synoptic-scale features of rainfall generating mechanisms. Application of the methodology to seasonal rainfall forecasts using empirical teleconnections and GCM derived climate forecast are discussed.

In this paper, evolutionary multi-objective selection method of RBF networks structure is considered. The candidates of RBF network structure are encoded into the chromosomes in GAs. Then, they evolve toward Pareto-optimal front defined by several objective functions concerning with model accuracy and model complexity. An ensemble network constructed by such Pareto-optimal models is also considered in this paper. Some numerical simulation results indicate that the ensemble network is much robust for the case of existence of outliers or lack of data, than one selected in the sense of information criteria.

Recently, research on predicting the behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) columns using machine learning methods has been actively conducted. However, most studies have focused on predicting the ultimate strength of RC columns using a regression algorithm. Therefore, this study develops a successive machine learning process for predicting multiple nonlinear behaviors of rectangular RC columns. This process consists of three stages: single machine learning, bagging ensemble, and stacking ensemble. In the case of strength prediction, sufficient prediction accuracy is confirmed even in the first stage. In the case of displacement, although sufficient accuracy is not achieved in the first and second stages, the stacking ensemble model in the third stage performs better than the machine learning models in the first and second stages. In addition, the performance of the final prediction models is verified by comparing the backbone curves and hysteresis loops obtained from predicted outputs with actual experimental data.

기포 크기 분포를 음파 감쇄 손실을 이용하여 역산하기 위해 Physics-Informed Neural Network(PINN)을 사용하였다. 역산에 사용되는 선형시스템을 풀기 위해 이미지 처리 분야에서 선형시스템 문제를 해결한 Adaptive Learned Iterative Shrinkage Thresholding Algorithm(Ada-LISTA)를 PINN의 신경망 구조로 이용하였다. 더 나아가, PINN의 손실함수에 선형시스템 기반의 정규항을 포함함으로써 PINN의 해가 기포 물리 법칙을 만족하여 더 높은 일반화 성능을 가지도록 하였다. 그리고 기포 추정값의 불확실성을 계산하기 위해 딥앙상블 기법을 이용하였다. 서로 다른 초기값을 갖는 20개의 Ada-LISTA는 같은 훈련데이터를 이용하여 학습되었다. 이 후 테스트시 훈련데이터와 다른 경향의 감쇄 손실을 입력으로 사용하여 기포 크기 분포를 추정하였고, 추정값과 이에 대한 불확실성을 20개 추정값의 평균과 분산으로 각각 구하였다. 그 결과 딥앙상블이 적용된 Ada-LISTA는 기존 볼록 최적화 기법인 CVX보다 기포 크기 분포를 역산하는데 더 우수한 성능을 보였다.

앙상블 학습 기법은 개별 모형보다 더 좋은 예측 성과를 얻기 위해 다수의 분류기를 결합하는 것으로 예측 성과를 향상시키는데에 매우 유용한 것으로 알려져 있다. 배깅은 단일 분류기의 예측 성과를 향상시키는 대표적인 앙상블 기법중의 하나이다. 배깅은 원 학습 데이터로부터 부트스트랩 샘플링 방법을 통해 서로 다른 학습 데이터를 추출하고, 각각의 부트스트랩 샘플에 대해 학습 알고리즘을 적용하여 서로 다른 다수의 기저 분류기들을 생성시키게 되며, 최종적으로 서로 다른 분류기로부터 나온 결과를 결합하게 된다. 배깅에서 부트스트랩 샘플은 원 학습 데이터로부터 램덤하게 추출한 샘플로 각각의 부트스트랩 샘플이 동일한 정보를 가지고 있지는 않으며 이로 인해 배깅 모형의 성과는 편차가 발생하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 이와 같은 부트스트랩 샘플을 최적화함으로써 표준 배깅 앙상블의 성과를 개선시키는 새로운 방법을 제안하였다. 제안한 모형에서는 앙상블 모형의 성과를 개선시키기 위해 부트스트랩 샘플링을 최적화하였으며 이를 위해 유전자 알고리즘이 활용되었다. 본 논문에서는 제안한 모형을 국내 부도 예측 문제에 적용해 보았으며, 실험 결과 제안한 모형이 우수한 성과를 보였다.

Short-term traffic flow prediction plays an important role in intelligent transportation systems (ITS) in areas such as transportation management, traffic control and guidance. For short-term traffic flow regression predictions, the main challenge stems from the non-stationary property of traffic flow data. In this paper, we design an ensemble cascading prediction framework based on extremely randomized trees (extra-trees) using a boosting technique called EET to predict the short-term traffic flow under non-stationary environments. Extra-trees is a tree-based ensemble method. It essentially consists of strongly randomizing both the attribute and cut-point choices while splitting a tree node. This mechanism reduces the variance of the model and is, therefore, more suitable for traffic flow regression prediction in non-stationary environments. Moreover, the extra-trees algorithm uses boosting ensemble technique averaging to improve the predictive accuracy and control overfitting. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that extra-trees have been used as fundamental building blocks in boosting committee machines. The proposed approach involves predicting 5 min in advance using real-time traffic flow data in the context of inherently considering temporal and spatial correlations. Experiments demonstrate that the proposed method achieves higher accuracy and lower variance and computational complexity when compared to the existing methods.

Several reasons such as no free lunch theorem indicate that there is not a universal Feature selection (FS) technique that outperforms other ones. Moreover, some approaches such as using synthetic dataset, in presence of large number of FS techniques, are very tedious and time consuming task. In this study to tackle the issue of dependency of estimation accuracy on the selected FS technique, a methodology based on the heterogeneous ensemble is proposed. The performance of the major learning algorithms of neural network (i.e. the FFNN-BR, the FFNN-LM) in combination with the diverse FS techniques (i.e. the NCA, the F-test, the Kendall's tau, the Pearson, the Spearman, and the Relief) and different combination techniques of the heterogeneous ensemble (i.e. the Min, the Median, the Arithmetic mean, and the Geometric mean) are considered. The target parameters/transients of Bushehr nuclear power plant (BNPP) are examined as the case study. The results show that the Min combination technique gives the more accurate estimation. Therefore, if the number of FS techniques is m and the number of learning algorithms is n, by the heterogeneous ensemble, the search space for acceptable estimation of the target parameters may be reduced from n × m to n × 1. The proposed methodology gives a simple and practical approach for more reliable and more accurate estimation of the target parameters compared to the methods such as the use of synthetic dataset or trial and error methods.
