The objective of this study is to present a data-driven machine learning (ML) framework for predicting ultimate shear strength and failure modes of reinforced concrete ledge beams. Experimental tests were collected on these beams with different loading, geometric and material properties. The database was analyzed using different ML algorithms including decision trees, discriminant analysis, support vector machine, logistic regression, nearest neighbors, naïve bayes, ensemble and artificial neural networks to identify the governing and critical parameters of reinforced concrete ledge beams. The results showed that ML framework can effectively identify the failure mode of these beams either web shear failure, flexural failure or ledge failure. ML framework can also derive equations for predicting the ultimate shear strength for each failure mode. A comparison of the ultimate shear strength of ledge failure was conducted between the experimental results and the results from the proposed equations and the design equations used by international codes. These comparisons indicated that the proposed ML equations predict the ultimate shear strength of reinforced concrete ledge beams better than the design equations of AASHTO LRFD-2020 or PCI-2020.

Glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) elastic gridshells consist of long continuous GFRP tubes that form elastic deformations. In this paper, a method for the form-finding of gridshell structures is presented based on the interpretable machine learning (ML) approaches. A comparative study is conducted on several ML algorithms, including support vector regression (SVR), K-nearest neighbors (KNN), decision tree (DT), random forest (RF), AdaBoost, XGBoost, category boosting (CatBoost), and light gradient boosting machine (LightGBM). A numerical example is presented using a standard double-hump gridshell considering two characteristics of deformation as objective functions. The combination of the grid search approach and k-fold cross-validation (CV) is implemented for fine-tuning the parameters of ML models. The results of the comparative study indicate that the LightGBM model presents the highest prediction accuracy. Finally, interpretable ML approaches, including Shapely additive explanations (SHAP), partial dependence plot (PDP), and accumulated local effects (ALE), are applied to explain the predictions of the ML model since it is essential to understand the effect of various values of input parameters on objective functions. As a result of interpretability approaches, an optimum gridshell structure is obtained and new opportunities are verified for form-finding investigation of GFRP elastic gridshells during lifting construction.

Traffic classification의 방법은 동적으로 변하는 application의 변화에 대처하기 위하여 페이로드나 port를 기반으로 하는 것에서 ML 알고리즘을 기반으로 하는 것으로 변하여 가고 있다. 그러나 현재의 ML 알고리즘을 이용한 traffic classification 연구는 offline 환경에 맞추어 진행되고 있다. 특히, 현재의 기존 연구들은 testing 방법으로 cross validation을 이용하여 traffic classification을 수행하고 있으며, traffic flow를 기반으로 classification 결과를 제시하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 testing방법으로 cross validation과 split validation을 이용했을 때, traffic classification의 정확도 결과를 비교한다. 또한 바이트를 기반으로 한 classification의 결과와 flow를 기반으로 한 classification의 결과를 비교해 본다. 본 논문에서는 J48, REPTree, RBFNetwork, Multilayer perceptron, BayesNet, NaiveBayes와 같은 ML 알고리즘과 다양한 feature set을 이용하여 트래픽을 분류한다. 그리고 split validation을 이용한 traffic classification에 적합한 최적의 ML 알고리즘과 feature set을 제시한다.

Accurate prediction of concrete compressive strength can minimize the need for extensive, time-consuming, and costly mixture optimization testing and analysis. This study attempts to enhance the prediction accuracy of compressive strength using stacking ensemble machine learning (ML) with feature engineering techniques. Seven alternative ML models of increasing complexity were implemented and compared, including linear regression, SVM, decision tree, multiple layer perceptron, random forest, Xgboost and Adaboost. To further improve the prediction accuracy, a ML pipeline was proposed in which the feature engineering technique was implemented, and a two-layer stacked model was developed. The k-fold cross-validation approach was employed to optimize model parameters and train the stacked model. The stacked model showed superior performance in predicting concrete compressive strength with a correlation of determination (R²) of 0.985. Feature (i.e., variable) importance was determined to demonstrate how useful the synthetic features are in prediction and provide better interpretability of the data and the model. The methodology in this study promotes a more thorough assessment of alternative ML algorithms and rather than focusing on any single ML model type for concrete compressive strength prediction.

Although machine learning (ML) techniques have been widely used in various fields of engineering practice, their applications in the field of wind engineering are still at the initial stage. In order to evaluate the feasibility of machine learning algorithms for prediction of wind loads on high-rise buildings, this study took the exposure category type, wind direction and the height of local wind force as the input features and adopted four different machine learning algorithms including k-nearest neighbor (KNN), support vector machine (SVM), gradient boosting regression tree (GBRT) and extreme gradient (XG) boosting to predict wind force coefficients of CAARC standard tall building model. All the hyper-parameters of four ML algorithms are optimized by tree-structured Parzen estimator (TPE). The result shows that mean drag force coefficients and RMS lift force coefficients can be well predicted by the GBRT algorithm model while the RMS drag force coefficients can be forecasted preferably by the XG boosting algorithm model. The proposed machine learning based algorithms for wind loads prediction can be an alternative of traditional wind tunnel tests and computational fluid dynamic simulations.

The 6G mobile communication system will become a backbone infrastructure around 2030 for the future digital world by providing distinctive services such as five-sense holograms, ultra-high reliability/low-latency, ultra-high-precision positioning, ultra-massive connectivity, and gigabit-per-second data rate for aerial and maritime terminals. The recent remarkable advances in machine learning (ML) technology have recognized its efficiency in wireless networking fields such as resource management and cell-configuration optimization. Further innovation in ML is expected to play an important role in solving new problems arising from 6G network management and service delivery. In contrast, an approach to apply ML to a physical-layer (PHY) target tackles the basic problems in radio links, such as overcoming signal distortion and interference.

Several studies on machine learning (ML) based self-organizing networks (SONs) have been conducted, specifically for LTE, since studies to apply ML to optimize mobile communication systems started with 2G. However, they are still in the infancy stage. Owing to the complicated KPIs and stringent user requirements of 5G, it is necessary to design the 5G SON engine with intelligence to enable users to seamlessly and unlimitedly achieve connectivity regardless of the state of the mobile communication network. Therefore, in this study, we analyze and summarize the current state of machine learning studies applied to SONs as solutions to the complicated optimization problems that are caused by the unpredictable context of mobile communication scenarios.

Currently, diabetes is the most common chronic disease in the world, affecting 23.7% of the population in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Diabetes may be the cause of lower-limb amputations, kidney failure and blindness among adults. Therefore, diagnosing the disease in its early stages is essential in order to save human lives. With the revolution in technology, Artificial Intelligence (AI) could play a central role in the early prediction of diabetes by employing Machine Learning (ML) technology. In this paper, we developed a diagnosis system using machine learning models for the detection of type 2 diabetes among adults, through the adoption of two different diabetes datasets: one for training and the other for the testing, to analyze and enhance the prediction accuracy. This work offers an enhanced classification accuracy as a result of employing several pre-processing methods before applying the ML models. According to the obtained results, the implemented Random Forest (RF) classifier offers the best classification accuracy with a classification score of 98.95%.
