Accident Scenarios

The rod ejection accident (REA) is the design-basis reactivity initiated event and an important aspect for a pressurized water reactor (PWR). The consequence of REA is that it introduces a large positive reactivity insertion in a core, which leads to a fast large power excursion and other parameters changing. Thus, it is important to understand the uncertainty in the parameters of reactor core when REA happens. This paper applies support vector regression (SVR) to analyze accident scenarios with control rod ejection. SVR is an approach based on machine learning and soft computing. SVR, by definition, is an application of support vector machine (SVM) to nonlinear regression problem. Furthermore, the objective of this paper is to train SVR model to identify both safe and potentially unsafe power plant conditions based on real time plant data. The data is obtained from computer generated accident scenarios and is divided into two datasets, training datasets and test datasets. The training dataset are used to train the SVR model and the test dataset are used to test the validation of this model. And then the results obtained by SVR model are compared with that of artificial neural network (ANN) model. The comparison results show that SVR model has superior performance over ANN model and agree well with the general understanding. Because the proposed methodology achieve accurate results, it is likely to be suitable for other data processing of nuclear engineering.

Abstract With the development of Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) technology, the quality of fabricated parts is getting more attention. The present study highlights the predictive model for dimensional accuracy in the FDM process. Three process parameters, namely extruder temperature, layer thickness, and infill density, are considered in the model. To achieve better prediction accuracy, three models are studied, namely multivariate linear regression, Artificial Neural Network (ANN), and Support Vector Regression (SVR). The models are used to characterize the complex relationship between the input variables and dimensions of fabricated parts. Based on the experimental data set, it is found that the ANN model performs better than the multivariate linear regression and SVR models. The ANN model is able to study more quality characteristics of fabricated parts with more process parameters of FDM.

Metamodeling Technique

A major challenge of metamodeling in simulation-based engineering design optimization is to handle the “curse of dimensionality,” i.e. the exponential growth of computational cost with increase of problem dimensionality. Encouragingly, it has been reported recently that a high-dimensional model representation assisted by a radial basis function is capable of deriving high-dimensional input–output relationships at dramatically reduced computational cost. In this article, support vector regression is employed as an alternative to be coupled with high-dimensional model representation for the metamodeling of high-dimensional problems. In particular, the bisection sampling method is proposed to be used in the metamodeling process to generate high-quality training samples. Testing and comparison results show that the developed bisection-sampling-based support vector regression–high-dimensional model representation metamodeling technique can achieve high modeling accuracy with a smaller number of training sample evaluations. For the problem examined in this study, the bisection-sampling-based support vector regression–high-dimensional model representation enables high modeling accuracy and linear computational complexity as the problem dimensionality increases. Analysis of this performance advantage shows that the use of bisection method enables the developed metamodeling technique to be more effective in dealing with high-dimensional problems.

Trilateration-based target localization using received signal strength (RSS) in a wireless sensor network (WSN) generally yields inaccurate location estimates due to high fluctuations in RSS measurements in indoor environments. Improving the localization accuracy in RSS-based systems has long been the focus of a substantial amount of research. This paper proposes two range-free algorithms based on RSS measurements, namely support vector regression (SVR) and SVR + Kalman filter (KF). Unlike trilateration, the proposed SVR-based localization scheme can directly estimate target locations using field measurements without relying on the computation of distances. Unlike other state-of-the-art localization and tracking (L&T) schemes such as the generalized regression neural network (GRNN), SVR localization architecture needs only three RSS measurements to locate a mobile target. Furthermore, the SVR based localization scheme was fused with a KF in order to gain further refinement in target location estimates. Rigorous simulations were carried out to test the localization efficacy of the proposed algorithms for noisy radio frequency (RF) channels and a dynamic target motion model. Benefiting from the good generalization ability of SVR, simulation results showed that the presented SVR-based localization algorithms demonstrate superior performance compared to trilateration- and GRNN-based localization schemes in terms of indoor localization performance.

Landslides are one of the most frequent and important natural disasters in the world. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the landslide susceptibility in Zhenping County using a hybrid of support vector regression (SVR) with grey wolf optimizer (GWO) and firefly algorithm (FA) by frequency ratio (FR) preprocessed. Therefore, a landslide inventory composed of 140 landslides and 16 landslide conditioning factors is compiled as a landslide database. Among these landslides, 70% (98) landslides were randomly selected as the training dataset of the model, and the other landslides (42) were used to verify the model. The 16 landslide conditioning factors include elevation, slope, aspect, plan curvature, profile curvature, distance to faults, distance to rivers, distance to roads, sediment transport index (STI), stream power index (SPI), topographic wetness index (TWI), normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), landslide, rainfall, soil and lithology. The conditioning factors selection and spatial correlation analysis were carried out by using the correlation attribute evaluation (CAE) method and the frequency ratio (FR) algorithm. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) and kappa data of the training dataset and validation dataset are used to evaluate the prediction ability and the relationship between the advantages and disadvantages of landslide susceptibility maps. The results show that the SVR-GWO model (AUROC = 0.854) has the best performance in landslide spatial prediction, followed by the SVR-FA (AUROC = 0.838) and SVR models (AUROC = 0.818). The hybrid models of SVR-GWO and SVR-FA improve the performance of the single SVR model, and all three models have good prospects for regional-scale landslide spatial modeling.

Olives are one of the most important agriculture crops in the world, which are harvested in different stages of growth for various uses. One of the ways to detect the adequate time to process the olives is to determine their moisture content. In this study, to determine the moisture content of olives, a dielectric technique was used in seven periods of harvesting and three different varieties of olive including Oily, Mary and Fishemi. The dielectric properties of the olive fruits were measured using an electronic device in the range of 0.1–30 MHz. Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Support Vector Regression (SVR) methods were applied to develop the prediction models by using the obtained data acquired by the system. The best results (R = 0.999 and MSE = 0.014) were obtained by the ANN model with a topology of 384–12–1 (384 features in the input vector, 12 neurons in the hidden layer and 1 output). The results obtained indicated the acceptable accuracy of the dielectric technique combined with the ANN model.

Stabilized Soil

Cement stabilized soil is one of the commonly used as ground reinforcement solutions in geotechnical engineering. In this study, the main object was to apply three machine learning (ML) methods namely gradient boosting (GB), artificial neural network (ANN) and support vector machine (SVM) to predict unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of cement stabilized soil. Soil samples were collected at Hai Duong city, Vietnam. A total of 216 soil–cement samples were mixed in the laboratory and compressed to determine the UCS. This data set is divided into two parts of the training data set (80%) and testing set (20%) to build and test the model, respectively. To verify the performance of ML model, various criteria named correlation coefficient (R), mean absolute error (MAE) and root mean square error (RMSE) were used. The results show that all three ML models were effective methods to predict the UCS of cement-stabilized soil. Amongst three model used in this study, optimized ANN model provided superior performance compare to two others models with performance indicator R = 0.925, RMSE = 419.82 and MAE = 292.2 for testing part. This study can provide an effective tool to quickly predict the UCS of cement stabilized soil with high accuracy.

Noninvasive electrocardiographic imaging, such as the reconstruction of myocardial transmembrane potentials (TMPs) distribution, can provide more detailed and complicated electrophysiological information than the body surface potentials (BSPs). However, the noninvasive reconstruction of the TMPs from BSPs is a typical inverse problem. In this study, this inverse ECG problem is treated as a regression problem with multi-inputs (BSPs) and multioutputs (TMPs), which will be solved by the Maximum Margin Clustering- (MMC-) Support Vector Regression (SVR) method. First, the MMC approach is adopted to cluster the training samples (a series of time instant BSPs), and the individual SVR model for each cluster is then constructed. For each testing sample, we find its matched cluster and then use the corresponding SVR model to reconstruct the TMPs. Using testing samples, it is found that the reconstructed TMPs results with the MMC-SVR method are more accurate than those of the single SVR method. In addition to the improved accuracy in solving the inverse ECG problem, the MMC-SVR method divides the training samples into clusters of small sample sizes, which can enhance the computation efficiency of training the SVR model.

Propulsion Power

The fluctuation of the oil price and the growing requirement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions have forced ship builders and shipping companies to improve the energy efficiency of the vessels. The accurate prediction of the required propulsion power at various operating condition is essential to evaluate the energy-saving potential of a vessel. Currently, a new ship is expected to use the ISO15016 method in estimating added resistance induced by external environmental factors in power prediction. However, since ISO15016 usually assumes static water conditions, it may result in low accuracy when it is applied to various operating conditions. Moreover, it is time consuming to apply the ISO15016 method because it is computationally expensive and requires many input data. To overcome this limitation, we propose a data-driven approach to predict the propulsion power of a vessel. In this study, support vector regression (SVR) is used to learn from big data obtained from onboard measurement and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) database. As a result, we show that our data-driven approach shows superior performance compared to the ISO15016 method if the big data of the solid line are secured.

The evolution of machine learning (ML) algorithms provides researchers and engineers with state-of-the-art tools to dynamically model complex relationships. The design and operation of municipal solid waste (MSW) management systems require accurate estimation of generation rates. In this study, we applied rapid, non-linear and non-parametric data driven ML algorithms independently, multi-layer perceptron artificial neural network (MLP-ANN) and support vector regression (SVR) models to predict annual MSW generation rates in Bahrain. Models were trained and tested with MSW generation data for period of 1997–2019. The population, gross domestic product, annual tourist numbers, annual electricity consumption and total annual CO2 emissions were selected as explanatory variables and incorporated into developed models. The zero score normalization (ZSN) and minimum maximum normalization (MMN) methods were utilized to improve the quality of data and subsequently enhances the performance of ML algorithms. Statistical metrics were employed to discriminate performance of MLP-ANN and SVR models. The linear, polynomial, radial basis function (RBF) and sigmoid kernel functions were investigated to find the optimal SVR model. Results showed that RBF-SVR model with R2 value of 0.97% and 4.82% and absolute forecasting error (AFE) for the period of 2008 and 2019 exhibits superior prediction and robustness in comparison to MLP-ANN. The efficacy of MLP-ANN model was also reasonably successful with R2 value of 0.94. It was shown that MMN pre-processing generated optimal MLP-ANN model while ZSN pre-processing produced optimal RBF-SVR model. This work also highlights the importance of application of ML modelling approaches to plan and implement their roadmap for waste management systems by policymakers.
