This energy is important for renewable energy generation and is intrinsically fluctuating. Forecasting solar irradiance is crucial for efficient solar energy generation and management. Work in the literature focused on the short-term prediction of solar irradiance, using meteorological data to forecast the irradiance for the next hours, days, or weeks. Facing climate change and the continuous increase of greenhouse gas emissions, particularly from the use of fossil fuels, the reliance on renewable energy sources, such as solar energy, is expanding. Consequently, governments and practitioners are calling for efficient long-term energy generation plans, which could enable 100% renewable-based electricity systems to match energy demand. In this paper, we aim to perform the long-term prediction of solar irradiance, by leveraging the downscaled climate simulations of Global Circulation Models (GCMs). We propose a novel Bayesian deep learning framework, named DeepSI (denoting Deep Solar Irradiance), that employs bidirectional long short-term memory autoencoders, prefixed to a transformer, with an uncertainty quantification component based on the Monte-Carlo dropout sampling technique. We use DeepSI to predict daily solar irradiance for three different locations within the United States. These locations include the Solar Star power station in California, Medford in New Jersey, and Farmers Branch in Texas. Experimental results showcase the suitability of DeepSI for predicting daily solar irradiance from the simulated climate data. We further use DeepSI with future climate simulations to produce long-term projections of daily solar irradiance, up to year 2099.","PeriodicalId":292167,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2023 7th International Conference on Machine Learning and Soft Computing","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115679973","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, diversity feature representations of brain network can be obtained using convolutional kernels with different scales, these representations may contain complementary information that could be used for further improving the diagnosis performance of brain disease (e.g., Alzheimer’s Disease, AD). To address this problem, in this paper, we propose a convolutional recurrent neural network with multi-scale kernels (MSK-CRNN) learning framework for brain disease classification with fMRI data. Specifically, we build a convolutional layer with multi-scale kernels to extract different-yet-complementary features from constructed dFC networks, and use a long short-term memory (LSTM) layer to further extract temporal information of dFC networks. The experimental results on 174 subjects with 563 scans from Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) dataset demonstrate that, compared with the existing methods, the proposed MSK-CRNN method can further improve the performance of AD classification.","PeriodicalId":292167,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2023 7th International Conference on Machine Learning and Soft Computing","volume":"267 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123405535","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We confirm this deficiency quantitatively over large datasets. Additionally, we find that human evaluation by Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) conservatively rejects at least ∼9% portion of AI test questions in our experiment over large diverse dataset topics. Here we present an analytical study of these differences, and this motivates our two-phased post-processing AI daisy chain machine learning (ML) architecture for selection and editing of AI generated questions using current techniques.

The relationship between attribute features is very complex. Exploring the relationship between feature attributes and decision sets with fast attribute reduction can reduce the amount of model training data. Since seasonal and temporal variations greatly influence weather and energy consumption data, the moving horizon method is used to update the features and improve the accuracy of energy consumption prediction.From above, an energy consumption prediction model based on fast attribute reduction of weighted neighborhood rough set with moving horizon long short-term memory neural network(LSTM) is proposed in this paper. In the experiment of predicting the actual energy consumption of a building, the model evaluation results show that 20% of training data is reduced at the expense of 0.4% classification accuracy. Compared with the traditional non-rolling method, the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of the moving horizon LSTM prediction method is reduced by 33.08% on average, and the training speed is increased by 5.25% on average. The prediction effect is better. Therefore, this prediction model can be used to predict building energy consumption quickly and accurately and has strong robustness and generalization ability, which provides the theoretical basis and method support for fine management of building energy consumption, building energy conservation, and emission reduction.","PeriodicalId":292167,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2023 7th International Conference on Machine Learning and Soft Computing","volume":"95 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130407117","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The rapid increase in the number of powerful end devices such as mobiles and surveillance cameras have to lead to increasing in both resources and media generation. Object Detection has now become possible on end devices, but certain challenges need to be tackled to fully utilize the resources. Federated Learning is one such framework that leverages the end device resources to build machine learning models while preserving data privacy. We model the federated learning framework for object detection on real-world heterogeneous datasets using a novel dampened harmonic optimizer to enhance local learning on the end device and hence reducing the communication cost during the learning process. We provide comparison of the commonly used FedAvg with our FedHarm optimization on multiple object detection models and datasets to demonstrate the merits of our proposition. Our method FedHarm with its dampened updates allows for greater local computation which reduces the overall communication rounds between edge devices and cloud and better handles heterogeneity in real-world datasets. FedHarm leads to faster convergence by 41% on average over FedAvg which is supported by extensive experiments.","PeriodicalId":292167,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2023 7th International Conference on Machine Learning and Soft Computing","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123823882","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the second step, each subpopulation evolves independently and the diversity in the objective space and decision space are considered simultaneously.

Then in the second module, we introduce a multi-step update technique to reduce the training variance when storing data in the replay buffer. In the third module, considering the existence of correlation between samples when sampling data, we assign the corresponding weight to the sample experience by calculating the absolute value of temporal difference error and use such a non-uniform sampling method to prioritize the samples for sampling.

Therefore, this paper proposes a refinement algorithm of the ship hull based on the table of offsets: Firstly, the NURBS curve for the hull is constructed based on the table of offsets, and the hull's NURBS surface is obtained through the skinning algorithm. Secondly, the IR-BFS algorithm is used to inverse the knot parameters of the stations of the target station in the hull's NURBS surface. Thirdly, based on the knot parameters and the hull NURBS surface expression, the hull section, after refinement of the target station, is obtained. In constructing the hull's NURBS surface, the hull section is first expressed using the NURBS interpolation algorithm and the flattening algorithm of the NURBS based on the IR-BFS algorithm. Then the skinning algorithm is improved by fixing the -direction knot parameters to express the expressed hull NURBS cross-section as a hull's NURBS surface, which improves the computational efficiency. The effectiveness of the improved skinning algorithm is judged by comparing the increase in the number of control points and the computational time consumption in the expression of the hull NURBS surface before and after the improved skinning algorithm. The usability of the refinement algorithm of the hull section is verified by comparing the hull section based on the table of offsets with the refined hull section. The experimental results show that the improved skinning algorithm can effectively improve the speed of NURBS surface generation; The proposed refinement algorithm of the hull section can effectively generate refined sections through refinement intervals.","PeriodicalId":292167,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2023 7th International Conference on Machine Learning and Soft Computing","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126453086","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
