As a preliminary effort to establish a data assimilative ocean forecasting system, we reviewed the theory of the Ensemble Kamlan Filter (EnKF) and developed practical techniques to apply the EnKF algorithm in a real ocean circulation modeling system. To verify the performance of the developed EnKF algorithm, a wind-driven double gyre was established in a rectangular ocean using the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) and the EnKF algorithm was implemented. In the ideal ocean, sea surface temperature and sea surface height were assimilated. The results showed that the multivariate background error covariance is useful in the EnKF system. We also tested the sensitivity of the EnKF algorithm to the localization and inflation of the background error covariance and the number of ensemble members. In the sensitivity tests, the ensemble spread as well as the root-mean square (RMS) error of the ensemble mean was assessed. The EnKF produces the optimal solution as the ensemble spread approaches the RMS error of the ensemble mean because the ensembles are well distributed so that they may include the true state. The localization and inflation of the background error covariance increased the ensemble spread while building up well-distributed ensembles. Without the localization of the background error covariance, the ensemble spread tended to decrease continuously over time. In addition, the ensemble spread is proportional to the number of ensemble members. However, it is difficult to increase the ensemble members because of the computational cost.

In the last decade, several modeling approaches have been proposed and applied to estimate the high-performance concrete (HPC) slump flow. While HPC is a highly complex material, modeling its behavior is a very difficult issue. Thus, the selection and application of proper modeling methods remain therefore a crucial task. Like many other applications, HPC slump flow prediction suffers from noise which negatively affects the prediction accuracy and increases the variance. In the recent years, ensemble learning methods have introduced to optimize the prediction accuracy and reduce the prediction error. This study investigates the potential usage of bagging (Bag), which is among the most popular ensemble learning methods, in building ensemble models. Four well-known artificial intelligence models (i.e., classification and regression trees CART, support vector machines SVM, multilayer perceptron MLP and radial basis function neural networks RBF) are deployed as base learner. As a result of this study, bagging ensemble models (i.e., Bag-SVM, Bag-RT, Bag-MLP and Bag-RBF) are found superior to their base learners (i.e., SVM, CART, MLP and RBF) and bagging could noticeable optimize prediction accuracy and reduce the prediction error of proposed predictive models.

Surface water-groundwater interaction (SWGI) is an important hydrological process that influences both the quantity and quality of water resources. However, regional scale SWGI model calibration and uncertainty analysis have been a challenge because integrated models inherently carry a vast number of parameters, modeling assumptions, and inputs, potentially leaving little time and budget to explore questions related to model performance and forecasting. In this study, we have proposed the application of iterative ensemble smoother (IES) for uncertainty analysis and calibration of the widely used integrated surface-subsurface model, SWAT-MODFLOW. SWAT-MODFLOW integrates Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) and a three-dimensional finite difference model (MODFLOW). The model was calibrated using a parameter estimation tool (PEST). The major advantage of the employed IES is that the number of model runs required for the calibration of an ensemble is independent of the number of adjustable parameters. The pilot point approach was followed to calibrate the aquifer parameters, namely hydraulic conductivity, specific storage, and specific yield. The parameter estimation process for the SWAT model focused primarily on surface-related parameters. The uncertainties both in the streamflow and groundwater level were assessed. The work presented provides valuable insights for future endeavors in coupled surface-subsurface modeling, data collection, model development, and informed decision-making.

To increase the usability of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in construction projects, it is critical to ensure the interoperability of data between heterogeneous BIM software. The Industry Foundation Classes (IFC), an international ISO format, has been established for this purpose, but due to its structural complexity, geometric information and properties are not always transmitted correctly. Recently, deep learning approaches have been used to learn the shapes of the BIM elements and thereby verify the mapping between BIM elements and IFC entities. These models performed well for elements with distinct shapes but were limited when their shapes were highly similar. This study proposed a method to improve the performance of the element type classification by using an Ensemble model that leverages not only shapes characteristics but also the relational information between individual BIM elements. The accuracy of the Ensemble model, which merges MVCNN and MLP, was improved 0.03 compared to the existing deep learning model that only learned shape information.

Classification is a predictive modeling for a categorical target variable. Various classification ensemble methods, which predict with better accuracy by combining multiple classifiers, became a powerful machine learning and data mining paradigm. Well-known methodologies of classification ensemble are boosting, bagging and random forest. In this article, we assume that decision trees are used as classifiers in the ensemble. Further, we hypothesized that tree size affects classification accuracy. To study how the tree size in uences accuracy, we performed experiments using twenty-eight data sets. Then we compare the performances of ensemble algorithms; bagging, double-bagging, boosting and random forest, with different tree sizes in the experiment.

불법현금융통 적발모형 개발에 앙상블 접근방법을 사용하였다. 불법현금융통은 국내 신용카드사의 손익에 영향을 미치며 최근 국제화되고 있음에도 불구하고 학문적인 접근이 이루어지지 않았다. 부정행위 적발모형(Fraud Detection Model, FDM)은 데이터 불균형 문제로 인하여 좋은 성능을 얻기 어려운데, 다수의 모형을 결합하는 앙상블이 대안으로 제시되어 왔다. 앙상블에 포함된 모형들의 다양성이 보장된다면 단일모형에 비해 더 좋은 성능을 보인다는 점은 이미 인정되고 있으며, 최근 연구 결과는 학습된 모든 기본모형들을 사용하는 것보다 적절한 기본모형들만 선택하여 앙상블에 포함시키는 것이 바람직하다는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 효과적인 불법현금융통 적발을 위하여 축소된 앙상블 기법을 사용하는데, 정확성과 다양성 척도를 사용하여 앙상블에 참여할 기본모형을 선택하는 것이다. 다양성은 앙상블을 구성하는 기본모형들 사이의 불일치 (Disagreement or Ambiguity)를 의미하는데, FDM에 내재된 데이터 불균형문제를 고려하여 두 가지 측면에 중점을 두었다. 첫째, 학습 자료의 추출 과정에서 다양성을 확보하기 위한 소수 범주의 과잉추출 방법과 적절한 훈련 방법에 대해 설명하였다. 둘째, 소수범주에 초점을 맞추어 기존의 다양성 척도를 효과적인 척도로 변형시키고, 전진추가법과 후진소거법의 동적 다양성 계산법을 도입하여 앙상블에 참여할 기본모형을 평가하였다. 실험에 사용된 학습 알고리즘은 신경망, 의사결정수와 로짓 회귀분석이었으며, 동질적 앙상블과 이질적 앙상블을 구성하여 성능평가를 하였다. 실험결과 불법현금융통 적발모형에 있어 축소된 앙상블은 모든 기본모형이 포함된 앙상블과 성능 차이가 없었다. 축소된 앙상블은 앙상블 구성의 복잡성을 감소시키고 구현을 용이하게 한다는 점에서 FDM에서도 유력한 모형 수립 접근방법이 될 수 있음을 보였다.

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.

$CO_2$ is the most important trace gas related to climate change. Therefore, understanding surface carbon sources and sinks is important when seeking to estimate the impact of $CO_2$ on the environment and climate. CarbonTracker, developed by NOAA, is an inverse modeling system that estimates surface carbon fluxes using an ensemble Kalman filter with atmospheric $CO_2$ measurements as a constraint. In this study, to investigate the capability of CarbonTracker as an analysis tool for estimating surface carbon fluxes in Asia, an experiment with a nesting domain centered in Asia is performed. In general, the results show that setting a nesting domain centered in Asia region enables detailed estimations of surface carbon fluxes in Asia. From a rank histogram, the prior ensemble spread verified at observational sites located in Asia is well represented with a relatively flat rank histogram. The posterior flux in the Eurasian Boreal and Eurasian Temperate regions is well analyzed with proper seasonal cycles and amplitudes. On the other hand, in tropical regions of Asia, the posterior flux does not differ greatly from the prior flux due to fewer $CO_2$ observations. The root mean square error of the model $CO_2$ calculated by the posterior flux is less than the model $CO_2$ calculated by the prior flux, implying that CarbonTracker based on the ensemble Kalman filter works appropriately for the Asia region.
