The estimation of block erection work time at a dock is one of the important factors when establishing or managing the total shipbuilding schedule. In order to predict the work time, it is a natural approach that the existing block erection data would be used to solve the problem. Generally the work time per unit is the product of coefficient value, quantity, and product value. Previously, the work time per unit is determined statistically by unit load data. However, we estimate the work time per unit through work time coefficient value from series ships using machine learning. In machine learning, the outcome depends mainly on how the training data is organized. Therefore, in this study, we use 'Feature Engineering' to determine which one should be used as features, and to check their influence on the result. In order to get the coefficient value of each block, we try to solve this problem through the Ensemble learning methods which is actively used nowadays. Among the many techniques of Ensemble learning, the final model is constructed by Stacking Ensemble techniques, consisting of the existing Ensemble models (Decision Tree, Random Forest, Gradient Boost, Square Loss Gradient Boost, XG Boost), and the accuracy is maximized by selecting three candidates among all models. Finally, the results of this study are verified by the predicted total work time for one ship among the same series.

경로 손실(Path Loss)을 예측하는 것은 셀룰러 네트워크(Cellular Network)에서 기지국(Base Station) 의 설치 위치 선정 등 무선망 설계에 중요한 요인 중 하나다. 기존에는 기지국의 최적 설치 위치를 결정하기 위해 수많은 현장 테스트(Field Tests)를 통해 경로 손실 값을 측정했다. 따라서 측정에 많은 시간이 소요된다는 단점이 있었다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 본 연구에서는 머신러닝(Machine Learning, ML) 기반의 경로 손실 예측 방법을 제안한다. 특히, 경로 손실 예측 성능을 향상시키기 위해서 앙상블 학습(Ensemble Learning) 접근법을 적용하였다. 부트스트랩 데이터 세트(Bootstrap Dataset)을 활용하여 서로 다른 하이퍼파라미터(Hyperparameter) 구성을 갖는 모델들을 얻고, 이 모델들을 앙상블하여 최종 모델을 구축했다. 인터넷상에 공개된 경로 손실 데이터 세트를 활용하여 제안하는 앙상블 기반 경로 손실 예측 방법과 다양한 ML 기반 방법들의 성능을 평가 및 비교했다. 실험 결과, 제안하는 방법이 기존 방법들보다 우수한 성능을 달성하였으며, 경로 손실 값을 가장 정확하게 예측할 수 있다는 것을 입증하였다.

Water quality prediction is essential for the proper management of water supply systems. Increased suspended sediment concentration (SSC) has various effects on water supply systems such as increased treatment cost and consequently, there have been various efforts to develop a model for predicting SSC. However, SSC is affected by both the natural and anthropogenic environment, making it challenging to predict SSC. Recently, advanced machine learning models have increasingly been used for water quality prediction. This study developed an ensemble machine learning model to predict SSC using the XGBoost (XGB) algorithm. The observed discharge (Q) and SSC in two fields monitoring stations were used to develop the model. The input variables were clustered in two groups with low and high ranges of Q using the k-means clustering algorithm. Then each group of data was separately used to optimize XGB (Model 1). The model performance was compared with that of the XGB model using the entire data (Model 2). The models were evaluated by mean squared error-ob servation standard deviation ratio (RSR) and root mean squared error. The RSR were 0.51 and 0.57 in the two monitoring stations for Model 2, respectively, while the model performance improved to RSR 0.46 and 0.55, respectively, for Model 1.

Reinforced Concrete (RC) shear walls are one of the civil structures in nuclear power plants to resist lateral loads such as earthquakes and wind loads effectively. Risk-informed and performance-based regulation in the nuclear industry requires considering possible accidents and determining desirable performance on structures. As a result, rather than predicting only the ultimate capacity of structures, the prediction of performances on structures depending on different damage states or various accident scenarios have increasingly needed. This study aims to develop machine-learning models predicting drifts of the RC shear walls according to the damage limit states. The damage limit states are divided into four categories: the onset of cracking, yielding of rebars, crushing of concrete, and structural failure. The data on the drift of shear walls at each damage state are collected from the existing studies, and four regression machine-learning models are used to train the datasets. In addition, the bagging ensemble method is applied to improve the accuracy of the individual machine-learning models. The developed models are to predict the drifts of shear walls consisting of various cross-sections based on designated damage limit states in advance and help to determine the repairing methods according to damage levels to shear walls.

In this study, the prediction technology of Hydrological Quantitative Precipitation Forecast (HQPF) was improved by optimizing the weather predictors used as input data for machine learning. Results comparison was conducted using bias and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), which are predictive accuracy verification indicators, based on the heavy rain case on August 21, 2021. By comparing the rainfall simulated using the improved HQPF and the observed accumulated rainfall, it was revealed that all HQPFs (conventional HQPF and improved HQPF 1 and HQPF 2) showed a decrease in rainfall as the lead time increased for the entire grid region. Hence, the difference from the observed rainfall increased. In the accumulated rainfall evaluation due to the reduction of input factors, compared to the existing HQPF, improved HQPF 1 and 2 predicted a larger accumulated rainfall. Furthermore, HQPF 2 used the lowest number of input factors and simulated more accumulated rainfall than that projected by conventional HQPF and HQPF 1. By improving the performance of conventional machine learning despite using lesser variables, the preprocessing period and model execution time can be reduced, thereby contributing to model optimization. As an additional advanced method of HQPF 1 and 2 mentioned above, a simulated analysis of the Local ENsemble prediction System (LENS) ensemble member and low pressure, one of the observed meteorological factors, was analyzed. Based on the results of this study, if we select for the positively performing ensemble members based on the heavy rain characteristics of Korea or apply additional weights differently for each ensemble member, the prediction accuracy is expected to increase.

과거의 전력소모량을 분석하여 미래의 전력소모량을 예측하는 것은 에너지 계획과 정책 결정에 있어 많은 이점을 가져다준다. 기계학습은 최근 전력소모량을 예측하는 분석 방법으로 많이 사용하고 있다. 그중 앙상블 학습은 모형의 과적합 현상을 방지하고 분산을 줄여 예측의 정확성을 높이는 방법으로 알려져 있다. 하지만 일별 데이터에 앙상블 학습을 적용했을 때 분석 방법의 특성으로 인해 피크를 잘 나타내지 못하고 중심값으로 예측하는 단점을 보였다. 본 연구에서는 앙상블 학습 전에 온도 변수와의 상관성을 고려하여 선형모형으로 적합함으로써 앙상블 학습의 단점을 보완한다. 그리고 9개의 모형을 비교한 결과 온도 변수를 선형모형으로 적합하고 랜덤포레스트를 사용한 모형이 결과가 가장 좋음을 보여준다.

The prediction of algal bloom is an important field of study in algal bloom management, and chlorophyll-a concentration(Chl-a) is commonly used to represent the status of algal bloom. In, recent years advanced machine learning algorithms are increasingly used for the prediction of algal bloom. In this study, XGBoost(XGB), an ensemble machine learning algorithm, was used to develop a model to predict Chl-a in a reservoir. The daily observation of water quality data and climate data was used for the training and testing of the model. In the first step of the study, the input variables were clustered into two groups(low and high value groups) based on the observed value of water temperature(TEMP), total organic carbon concentration(TOC), total nitrogen concentration(TN) and total phosphorus concentration(TP). For each of the four water quality items, two XGB models were developed using only the data in each clustered group(Model 1). The results were compared to the prediction of an XGB model developed by using the entire data before clustering(Model 2). The model performance was evaluated using three indices including root mean squared error-observation standard deviation ratio(RSR). The model performance was improved using Model 1 for TEMP, TN, TP as the RSR of each model was 0.503, 0.477 and 0.493, respectively, while the RSR of Model 2 was 0.521. On the other hand, Model 2 shows better performance than Model 1 for TOC, where the RSR was 0.532. Explainable artificial intelligence(XAI) is an ongoing field of research in machine learning study. Shapley value analysis, a novel XAI algorithm, was also used for the quantitative interpretation of the XGB model performance developed in this study.

The internet allows the information to flow at anywhere in anytime easily. Unfortunately, the network also becomes a great tool for the criminals to operate cybercrimes such as identity theft. To prevent the issue, using a very complex password is not a very encouraging method. Alternatively, keystroke dynamics helps the user to solve the problem. Keystroke dynamics is the information of timing details when a user presses a key or releases a key. A machine can learn a user typing behavior from the information integrate with a proper machine learning algorithm. In this paper, we have proposed mini-batch ensemble (MIBE) method which does the preprocessing on the original dataset and then produces multiple mini batches in the end. The mini batches are then trained by a machine learning algorithm. From the experimental result, we have shown the improvement of the performance for each base algorithm.

This study aims to develop ensemble machine learning (ML) models for estimating the peak floor acceleration and maximum top drift of steel moment frames. For this purpose, random forest, adaptive boosting, gradient boosting regression tree (GBRT), and extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) models were considered. A total of 621 steel moment frames were analyzed under 240 ground motions using OpenSees software to generate the dataset for ML models. From the results, the GBRT and XGBoost models exhibited the highest performance for predicting peak floor acceleration and maximum top drift, respectively. The significance of each input variable on the prediction was examined using the best-performing models and Shapley additive explanations approach (SHAP). It turned out that the peak ground acceleration had the most significant impact on the peak floor acceleration prediction. Meanwhile, the spectral accelerations at 1 and 2 s had the most considerable influence on the maximum top drift prediction. Finally, a graphical user interface module was created that places a pioneering step for the application of ML to estimate the seismic demands of building structures in practical design.
