Data-Driven Living Spaces' Heating Dynamics Modeling in Smart Buildings using Machine Learning-Based Identification.

ABSTRACT: Modeling and control of the heating feature of living spaces remain challenging tasks because of the intrinsic nonlinear nature of the involved processes as well as the strong nonlinearity of the entailed dynamic parameters in those processes. Although nowadays, adaptive heating controllers represent a crucial need for smart building energy management systems (SBEMS) as well as an appealing perspective for their effectiveness in optimizing energy efficiency, unfortunately, the leakage of models competent in handling the complexity of real living spaces' heating processes means the control strategies implemented in most SBEMSs are still conventional. Within this context and by considering that the living space's occupation rate (i.e., by users or residents) may affect the model and the issued heating control strategy of the concerned living space, we have investigated the design and implementation of a data-driven machine learning-based identification of the building's living space dynamic heating conduct, taking into account the occupancy (by the residents) of the heated space. In fact, the proposed modeling strategy takes advantage, on the one hand, of the forecasting capacity of the time-series of the nonlinear autoregressive exogenous (NARX) model, and on the other hand, from the multi-layer perceptron's (MLP) learning and generalization skills. The proposed approach has been implemented and applied for modeling the dynamic heating conduct of a real five-floor building's living spaces located at Senart Campus of University Paris-Est Créteil (UPEC), taking into account their occupancy (by users of this public building). The obtained results assessing the accuracy and addictiveness of the investigated hybrid machine learning-based approach are reported and discussed.

Project description:Background:Hospital readmission prediction in pediatric hospitals has received little attention. Studies have focused on the readmission frequency analysis stratified by disease and demographic/geographic characteristics but there are no predictive modeling approaches, which may be useful to identify preventable readmissions that constitute a major portion of the cost attributed to readmissions. Objective:To assess the all-cause readmission predictive performance achieved by machine learning techniques in the emergency department of a pediatric hospital in Santiago, Chile. Materials:An all-cause admissions dataset has been collected along six consecutive years in a pediatric hospital in Santiago, Chile. The variables collected are the same used for the determination of the child's treatment administrative cost. Methods:Retrospective predictive analysis of 30-day readmission was formulated as a binary classification problem. We report classification results achieved with various model building approaches after data curation and preprocessing for correction of class imbalance. We compute repeated cross-validation (RCV) with decreasing number of folders to assess performance and sensitivity to effect of imbalance in the test set and training set size. Results:Increase in recall due to SMOTE class imbalance correction is large and statistically significant. The Naive Bayes (NB) approach achieves the best AUC (0.65); however the shallow multilayer perceptron has the best PPV and f-score (5.6 and 10.2, resp.). The NB and support vector machines (SVM) give comparable results if we consider AUC, PPV, and f-score ranking for all RCV experiments. High recall of deep multilayer perceptron is due to high false positive ratio. There is no detectable effect of the number of folds in the RCV on the predictive performance of the algorithms. Conclusions:We recommend the use of Naive Bayes (NB) with Gaussian distribution model as the most robust modeling approach for pediatric readmission prediction, achieving the best results across all training dataset sizes. The results show that the approach could be applied to detect preventable readmissions.

Project description:Animal movement drives important ecological processes such as migration and the spread of infectious disease. Current approaches to modeling animal tracking data focus on parametric models used to understand environmental effects on movement behavior and to fill in missing tracking data. Machine Learning and Deep learning algorithms are powerful and flexible predictive modeling tools but have rarely been applied to animal movement data. In this study we present a general framework for predicting animal movement that is a combination of two steps: first predicting movement behavioral states and second predicting the animal's velocity. We specify this framework at the individual level as well as for collective movement. We use Random Forests, Neural and Recurrent Neural Networks to compare performance predicting one step ahead as well as long range simulations. We compare results against a custom constructed Stochastic Differential Equation (SDE) model. We apply this approach to high resolution ant movement data. We found that the individual level Machine Learning and Deep Learning methods outperformed the SDE model for one step ahead prediction. The SDE model did comparatively better at simulating long range movement behaviour. Of the Machine Learning and Deep Learning models the Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) individual level model did best at long range simulations. We also applied the Random Forest and LSTM individual level models to model gull migratory movement to demonstrate the generalizability of this framework. Machine Learning and deep learning models are easier to specify compared to traditional parametric movement models which can have restrictive assumptions. However, machine learning and deep learning models are less interpretable than parametric movement models. The type of model used should be determined by the goal of the study, if the goal is prediction, our study provides evidence that machine learning and deep learning models could be useful tools.

Project description:Physical activity levels are related through algorithms to the energetic demand, with no information regarding the integrity of the multiple physiological systems involved in the energetic supply. Longitudinal analysis of the oxygen uptake (V?o2) by wearable sensors in realistic settings might permit development of a practical tool for the study of the longitudinal aerobic system dynamics (i.e., V?o2 kinetics). This study evaluated aerobic system dynamics based on predicted V?o2 data obtained from wearable sensors during unsupervised activities of daily living (?ADL). Thirteen healthy men performed a laboratory-controlled moderate exercise protocol and were monitored for ?6 h/day for 4 days (?ADL data). Variables derived from hip accelerometer (ACCHIP), heart rate monitor, and respiratory bands during ?ADL were extracted and processed by a validated random forest regression model to predict V?o2. The aerobic system analysis was based on the frequency-domain analysis of ACCHIP and predicted V?o2 data obtained during ?ADL. Optimal samples for frequency domain analysis (constrained to ?0.01 Hz) were selected when ACCHIP was higher than 0.05 g at a given frequency (i.e., participants were active). The temporal characteristics of predicted V?o2 data during ?ADL correlated with the temporal characteristics of measured V?o2 data during laboratory-controlled protocol ([Formula: see text]?=?0.82, P < 0.001, n?=?13). In conclusion, aerobic system dynamics can be investigated during unsupervised activities of daily living by wearable sensors. Although speculative, these algorithms have the potential to be incorporated into wearable systems for early detection of changes in health status in realistic environments by detecting changes in aerobic response dynamics. NEW & NOTEWORTHY The early detection of subclinical aerobic system impairments might be indicative of impaired physiological reserves that impact the capacity for physical activity. This study is the first to use wearable sensors in unsupervised activities of daily living in combination with novel machine learning algorithms to investigate the aerobic system dynamics with the potential to contribute to models of functional health status and guide future individualized health care in the normal population.

Project description:Mouse behavior is a primary outcome in evaluations of therapeutic efficacy. Exhaustive, continuous, multiparametric behavioral phenotyping is a valuable tool for understanding the pathophysiological status of mouse brain diseases. Automated home cage behavior analysis produces highly granulated data both in terms of number of features and sampling frequency. Previously, we demonstrated several ways to reduce feature dimensionality. In this study, we propose novel approaches for analyzing 33-Hz data generated by CleverSys software. We hypothesized that behavioral patterns within short time windows are reflective of physiological state, and that computer modeling of mouse behavioral routines can serve as a predictive tool in classification tasks. To remove bias due to researcher decisions, our data flow is indifferent to the quality, value, and importance of any given feature in isolation. To classify day and night behavior, as an example application, we developed a data preprocessing flow and utilized logistic regression (LG), support vector machines (SVM), random forest (RF), and one-dimensional convolutional neural networks paired with long short-term memory deep neural networks (1DConvBiLSTM). We determined that a 5-min video clip is sufficient to classify mouse behavior with high accuracy. LG, SVM, and RF performed similarly, predicting mouse behavior with 85% accuracy, and combining the three algorithms in an ensemble procedure increased accuracy to 90%. The best performance was achieved by combining the 1DConv and BiLSTM algorithms yielding 96% accuracy. Our findings demonstrate that computer modeling of the home-cage ethome can clearly define mouse physiological state. Furthermore, we showed that continuous behavioral data can be analyzed using approaches similar to natural language processing. These data provide proof of concept for future research in diagnostics of complex pathophysiological changes that are accompanied by changes in behavioral profile.
