Comparison of Machine Learning Algorithms for Structure State Prediction in Operational Load Monitoring.

ABSTRACT: The aim of operational load monitoring is to make predictions about the remaining usability time of structures, which is extremely useful in aerospace industry where in-service life of aircraft structural components can be maximized, taking into account safety. In order to make such predictions, strain sensors are mounted to the structure, from which data are acquired during operational time. This allows to determine how many load cycles has the structure withstood so far. Continuous monitoring of the strain distribution of the whole structure can be complicated due to vicissitude nature of the loads. Sensors should be mounted in places where stress and strain accumulations occur, and due to experiencing variable loads, the number of required sensors may be high. In this work, different machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms are implemented to predict the current safety factor of the structure in its most stressed point, based on relatively low number of strain measurements. Adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference systems (ANFIS), support-vector machines (SVM) and Gaussian processes for machine learning (GPML) are trained with simulation data, and their effectiveness is measured using data obtained from experiments. The proposed methods are compared to the earlier work where artificial neural networks (ANN) were proven to be efficiently used for reduction of the number of sensors in operational load monitoring processes. A numerical comparison of accuracy and computational time (taking into account possible real-time applications) between all considered methods is provided.

Project description:Cyber-attacks have become one of the biggest problems of the world. They cause serious financial damages to countries and people every day. The increase in cyber-attacks also brings along cyber-crime. The key factors in the fight against crime and criminals are identifying the perpetrators of cyber-crime and understanding the methods of attack. Detecting and avoiding cyber-attacks are difficult tasks. However, researchers have recently been solving these problems by developing security models and making predictions through artificial intelligence methods. A high number of methods of crime prediction are available in the literature. On the other hand, they suffer from a deficiency in predicting cyber-crime and cyber-attack methods. This problem can be tackled by identifying an attack and the perpetrator of such attack, using actual data. The data include the type of crime, gender of perpetrator, damage and methods of attack. The data can be acquired from the applications of the persons who were exposed to cyber-attacks to the forensic units. In this paper, we analyze cyber-crimes in two different models with machine-learning methods and predict the effect of the defined features on the detection of the cyber-attack method and the perpetrator. We used eight machine-learning methods in our approach and concluded that their accuracy ratios were close. The Support Vector Machine Linear was found out to be the most successful in the cyber-attack method, with an accuracy rate of 95.02%. In the first model, we could predict the types of attacks that the victims were likely to be exposed to with a high accuracy. The Logistic Regression was the leading method in detecting attackers with an accuracy rate of 65.42%. In the second model, we predicted whether the perpetrators could be identified by comparing their characteristics. Our results have revealed that the probability of cyber-attack decreases as the education and income level of victim increases. We believe that cyber-crime units will use the proposed model. It will also facilitate the detection of cyber-attacks and make the fight against these attacks easier and more effective.

Project description:The microbial quality of irrigation water is an important issue as the use of contaminated waters has been linked to several foodborne outbreaks. To expedite microbial water quality determinations, many researchers estimate concentrations of the microbial contamination indicator Escherichia coli (E. coli) from the concentrations of physiochemical water quality parameters. However, these relationships are often non-linear and exhibit changes above or below certain threshold values. Machine learning (ML) algorithms have been shown to make accurate predictions in datasets with complex relationships. The purpose of this work was to evaluate several ML models for the prediction of E. coli in agricultural pond waters. Two ponds in Maryland were monitored from 2016 to 2018 during the irrigation season. E. coli concentrations along with 12 other water quality parameters were measured in water samples. The resulting datasets were used to predict E. coli using stochastic gradient boosting (SGB) machines, random forest (RF), support vector machines (SVM), and k-nearest neighbor (kNN) algorithms. The RF model provided the lowest RMSE value for predicted E. coli concentrations in both ponds in individual years and over consecutive years in almost all cases. For individual years, the RMSE of the predicted E. coli concentrations (log10 CFU 100 ml-1) ranged from 0.244 to 0.346 and 0.304 to 0.418 for Pond 1 and 2, respectively. For the 3-year datasets, these values were 0.334 and 0.381 for Pond 1 and 2, respectively. In most cases there was no significant difference (P > 0.05) between the RMSE of RF and other ML models when these RMSE were treated as statistics derived from 10-fold cross-validation performed with five repeats. Important E. coli predictors were turbidity, dissolved organic matter content, specific conductance, chlorophyll concentration, and temperature. Model predictive performance did not significantly differ when 5 predictors were used vs. 8 or 12, indicating that more tedious and costly measurements provide no substantial improvement in the predictive accuracy of the evaluated algorithms.

Project description:BackgroundAccurate solutions for the estimation of physical activity and energy expenditure at scale are needed for a range of medical and health research fields. Machine learning techniques show promise in research-grade accelerometers, and some evidence indicates that these techniques can be applied to more scalable commercial devices.ObjectiveThis study aims to test the validity and out-of-sample generalizability of algorithms for the prediction of energy expenditure in several wearables (ie, Fitbit Charge 2, ActiGraph GT3-x, SenseWear Armband Mini, and Polar H7) using two laboratory data sets comprising different activities.MethodsTwo laboratory studies (study 1: n=59, age 44.4 years, weight 75.7 kg; study 2: n=30, age=31.9 years, weight=70.6 kg), in which adult participants performed a sequential lab-based activity protocol consisting of resting, household, ambulatory, and nonambulatory tasks, were combined in this study. In both studies, accelerometer and physiological data were collected from the wearables alongside energy expenditure using indirect calorimetry. Three regression algorithms were used to predict metabolic equivalents (METs; ie, random forest, gradient boosting, and neural networks), and five classification algorithms (ie, k-nearest neighbor, support vector machine, random forest, gradient boosting, and neural networks) were used for physical activity intensity classification as sedentary, light, or moderate to vigorous. Algorithms were evaluated using leave-one-subject-out cross-validations and out-of-sample validations.ResultsThe root mean square error (RMSE) was lowest for gradient boosting applied to SenseWear and Polar H7 data (0.91 METs), and in the classification task, gradient boost applied to SenseWear and Polar H7 was the most accurate (85.5%). Fitbit models achieved an RMSE of 1.36 METs and 78.2% accuracy for classification. Errors tended to increase in out-of-sample validations with the SenseWear neural network achieving RMSE values of 1.22 METs in the regression tasks and the SenseWear gradient boost and random forest achieving an accuracy of 80% in classification tasks.ConclusionsAlgorithms trained on combined data sets demonstrated high predictive accuracy, with a tendency for superior performance of random forests and gradient boosting for most but not all wearable devices. Predictions were poorer in the between-study validations, which creates uncertainty regarding the generalizability of the tested algorithms.
