The present study employed two different machine-learning approaches, the extreme gradient boosting (XGB) and light gradient boosting machine (LGBM), to predict a compressive deformation behavior of additively manufactured Ti-6Al-4V. Such approaches have rarely been verified in the field of metallurgy in contrast to artificial neural network and its variants. XGB and LGBM provided a good prediction for elongation to failure under an extrapolated condition of processing parameters. The predicting accuracy of these methods was better than that of response surface method. Furthermore, XGB and LGBM with optimum hyperparameters well predicted a deformation behavior of Ti-6Al-4V additively manufactured under the extrapolated condition. Although the predicting capability of two methods was comparable, LGBM was superior to XGB in light of six-fold higher rate of machine learning. It is also noted this work has verified the LGBM approach in solving the metallurgical problem for the first time.

Suspension bridges are critical to urban transportation, but those in earthquake-prone areas face unique challenges. In the event of a moderate or strong earthquake, conventional linear theory-based approaches for detecting bridge damage become inadequate. This study presents an efficient method for identifying damage in suspension bridges using time history nonlinear inelastic analysis. A practical advanced analysis program is employed to model cable-supported bridges with low computational cost, generating a dataset for four hybrid models: PSO-DT, PSO-RF, PSO-XGB, and PSO-CGB. These models combine decision tree (DT), random forest (RF), extreme gradient boosting (XGB), and categorical gradient boosting (CGB) with particle swarm optimization (PSO) to capture nonlinear correlations between displacement response and damage. Principal component analysis reduces dataset dimensions, and PSO selects the optimal model. A numerical case study of a suspension bridge under simulated earthquake conditions identifies PSO-XGB as the best model for predicting stiffness reduction. The results demonstrate the method's robustness for nonlinear damage detection in suspension bridges under earthquake excitation.

We describe a new deep learning model - Convolutional eXtreme Gradient Boosting (ConvXGB) for classification problems based on convolutional neural nets and Chen et al.'s XGBoost. As well as image data, ConvXGB also supports the general classification problems, with a data preprocessing module. ConvXGB consists of several stacked convolutional layers to learn the features of the input and is able to learn features automatically, followed by XGBoost in the last layer for predicting the class labels. The ConvXGB model is simplified by reducing the number of parameters under appropriate conditions, since it is not necessary re-adjust the weight values in a back propagation cycle. Experiments on several data sets from UCL Repository, including images and general data sets, showed that our model handled the classification problems, for all the tested data sets, slightly better than CNN and XGBoost alone and was sometimes significantly better.

The resilient modulus (M_R) of various pavement materials plays a significant role in the pavement design by a mechanistic-empirical method. The M_R determination is done by experimental tests that need time and money, along with special experimental tools. The present paper suggested a novel hybridized extreme gradient boosting (XGB) structure for forecasting the M_R of modified base materials subject to wet-dry cycles. The models were created by various combinations of input variables called deep learning. Input variables consist of the number of W-D cycles (WDC), the ratio of free lime to SAF (CSAFR), the ratio of maximum dry density to the optimum moisture content (DMR), confining pressure (σ₃), and deviatoric stress (σ_d). Two XGB structures were produced for the estimation aims, where determinative variables were optimized by particle swarm optimization (PSO) and black widow optimization algorithm (BWOA). According to the results' description and outputs of Taylor diagram, M1 model with the combination of WDC, CSAFR, DMR, σ₃, and σ_d is recognized as the most suitable model, with R² and RMSE values of BWOA-XGB for model M1 equal to 0.9991 and 55.19 MPa, respectively. Interestingly, the lowest value of RMSE for literature was at 116.94 MPa, while this study could gain the extremely lower RMSE owned by BWOA-XGB model at 55.198 MPa. At last, the explanations indicate the BWO algorithm's capability in determining the optimal value of XGB determinative parameters in M_R prediction procedure.

The epicentral region of earthquakes is typically where liquefaction-related damage takes place. To determine the maximum distance, such as maximum epicentral distance (R_e), maximum fault distance (R_f), or maximum hypocentral distance (R_h), at which an earthquake can inflict damage, given its magnitude, this study, using a recently updated global liquefaction database, multiple ML models are built to predict the limiting distances (R_e, R_f, or R_h) required for an earthquake of a given magnitude to cause damage. Four machine learning models LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory), BiLSTM (Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory), CNN (Convolutional Neural Network), and XGB (Extreme Gradient Boosting) are developed using the Python programming language. All four proposed ML models performed better than empirical models for limiting distance assessment. Among these models, the XGB model outperformed all the models. In order to determine how well the suggested models can predict limiting distances, a number of statistical parameters have been studied. To compare the accuracy of the proposed models, rank analysis, error matrix, and Taylor diagram have been developed. The ML models proposed in this paper are more robust than other current models and may be used to assess the minimal energy of a liquefaction disaster caused by an earthquake or to estimate the maximum distance of a liquefied site provided an earthquake in rapid disaster mapping.

TBM (tunnel boring machine) 터널 프로젝트의 리스크 관리 측면에서 굴진율 예측은 중요하며, 이를 위한 머신러닝 기반 TBM 굴진율 예측 연구가 지속적으로 진행되어 왔다. 그러나, 기존 연구의 머신러닝 예측 모델은 정상 굴진율과 이상 굴진율 간의 불균형 데이터를 고려하는 데 한계가 있다. 본 연구에서는 데이터 증강 기법을 통해 불균형 데이터를 처리하여 머신러닝 기반 TBM 굴진율 이상탐지 성능을 개선하였다. 먼저, 상관관계 분석을 통해 유사 변수를 제거하여 6가지 입력특성을 선정하였다. 또한, 하위 10%와 상위 10%의 굴진율을 각각 이상 등급으로, 그 외 범위의 굴진율을 정상 등급으로 굴진율 등급을 구분하였다. 기존 학습 데이터와 SMOTE (synthetic minority oversampling technique)를 통해 증강된 학습 데이터를 각각 XGB (extreme gradient boosting)에 적용한 XGB 모델과 XGB-SMOTE 모델을 구축하였다. 굴진율 등급 예측 성능을 비교한 결과, XGB 모델은 정상 굴진율에 대한 예측 성능은 우수하나 이상 굴진율 예측 성능은 상대적으로 낮게 도출되었다. 반면, XGB-SMOTE 모델은 모든 굴진율 등급에서 일관되게 우수한 예측 성능을 보였다. 이는 SMOTE를 통한 이상 굴진율 데이터의 증강이 이상 굴진율을 유발하는 지반조건과 TBM 운영인자 간의 패턴 학습 수준을 향상시켰기 때문으로 판단된다. 결론적으로, 본 연구는 머신러닝 기반 TBM 굴진율 이상탐지 시 데이터 증강 기법을 활용한 불균형 데이터 처리가 효과적임을 보여준다.

This paper presents six novel hybrid machine learning (ML) models that combine support vector machines (SVM), Decision Tree (DT), Random Forest (RF), Gradient Boosting (GB), extreme gradient boosting (XGB), and categorical gradient boosting (CGB) with the Harris Hawks Optimization (HHO) algorithm. These models, namely HHO-SVM, HHO-DT, HHO-RF, HHO-GB, HHO-XGB, and HHO-CGB, are designed to predict the ultimate strength of both rectangular and circular reinforced concrete (RC) columns. The prediction models are established using a comprehensive database consisting of 325 experimental data for rectangular columns and 172 experimental data for circular columns. The ML model hyperparameters are optimized through a combination of cross-validation technique and the HHO. The performance of the hybrid ML models is evaluated and compared using various metrics, ultimately identifying the HHO-CGB model as the top-performing model for predicting the ultimate shear strength of both rectangular and circular RC columns. The mean R-value and mean a20-index are relatively high, reaching 0.991 and 0.959, respectively, while the mean absolute error and root mean square error are low (10.302 kN and 27.954 kN, respectively). Another comparison is conducted with four existing formulas to further validate the efficiency of the proposed HHO-CGB model. The Shapely Additive Explanations method is applied to analyze the contribution of each variable to the output within the HHO-CGB model, providing insights into the local and global influence of variables. The analysis reveals that the depth of the column, length of the column, and axial loading exert the most significant influence on the ultimate shear strength of RC columns. A user-friendly graphical interface tool is then developed based on the HHO-CGB to facilitate practical and cost-effective usage.

안개는 대체수자원이 될 수 있으나 교통사고 위험을 높이고 공항 운영에 제약을 가하는 사회적 영향이 큰 기상현상이다. 본 연구에서는 1 km 미만 가시거리(시정)로 정의되는 안개 발생을 기상자료로 예측하는 지역 기계학습모형을 개발하고 그 예측력을 평가하였다. 전라북도 지역의 10개 기상청 지상관측소의 2017-2019년 시정 및 기상관측자료로 앙상블 분류기법인 Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGB), Light Gradient Boosting(LGB), Random Forests (RF)를 학습시켜 지역 안개 모형을 개발하였고 독립적인 2020년 자료로 모형의 사용성을 평가하였다. 그 결과, 학습·검증기간(2017-2019)에는 True Skill Score를 기준으로 가장 높은 예측력을 보인 방법은 LGB 기법이었지만 다른 두 모형에 비해 False Alarm Ratio가 컸다. RF 모형과 XGB 방법 역시 기존 연구에 상응하는 예측성능을 보이는 것으로 확인되었다. 2020년 자료를 입력해 안개 발생을 모의했을 때 세 모형의 예측성능은 2017-2019년 기간보다 떨어졌지만 모두 관측 안개일수의 공간분포와 일관되는 안개 위험을 예측했다. 세 기계학습모형은 안개위험이 상대적으로 높은 지역을 추출하는 기법으로 사용이 가능할 것으로 보인다.

복잡하고 광범위한 원인을 가진 대기오염물질 중 particulate matter (PM)은 입자의 크기에 따라 분류된다. 그 중 PM_2.5는 그 크기가 매우 작아 사람이 흡입하면 인간의 호흡기나 심혈관에 질병을 유발할 수 있다. 이러한 위험에 대비하기 위해서는 국가 중심의 관리와 사전에 예방할 수 있는 모니터링 및 예측이 중요하다. 본 연구는 고농도 미세먼지의 발생이 잦은 서울시의 PM_2.5를 local data assimilation and prediction system (LDAPS) 기상 관련 인자 15가지와 aerosol optical depth (AOD), 화학인자 4가지를 독립변수로 하여 앙상블 모델 두 가지 random forest (RF)와 extreme gradient boosting (XGB)로 예측하고자 하였다. 예측에 사용된 두 모델의 성능 평가와 인자 중요도 평가를 수행하였으며, 계절별 모델 분석도 수행하였다. 예측 정확도 결과, RF가 R² = 0.85, XGB가 R² = 0.91의 높은 예측 정확도를 보이며 XGB가 RF보다 PM_2.5 예측에 적합한 모델임을 확인하였다. 계절별 모델 분석 결과, 봄에 농도가 높은 관측 값과 비교하여 예측 수행이 잘 되었다고 할 수 있다. 본 연구는 다양한 인자를 이용하여 서울시의 PM_2.5를 예측하였고, 좋은 성능을 보이는 앙상블 기반의 PM_2.5 예측 모델을 구축하였다.

Sasang constitutional medicine (SCM) is one of the best traditional therapeutic approaches used in Korea. SCM prioritizes personalized treatment that considers the unique constitution of an individual and encompasses their physical characteristics, personality traits, and susceptibility to specific diseases. Facial features are essential for diagnosing Sasang constitutional types (SCTs). This study aimed to develop a real-time artificial intelligence-based model for diagnosing SCTs using facial images, building an SCTs prediction model based on a machine learning method. Facial features from all images were extracted to develop this model using feature engineering and machine learning techniques. The fusion of these features was used to train the AI model. We used four machine learning algorithms, namely, random forest (RF), multilayer perceptron (MLP), gradient boosting machine (GBM), and extreme gradient boosting (XGB), to investigate SCTs. The GBM outperformed all the other models. The highest accuracy achieved in the experiment was 81%, indicating the robustness of the proposed model and suitability for real-time applications.
