Tunnel settlement commonly occurs during the tunnel construction processes in large cities. Existing forecasting methods for tunnel settlements include model-based approaches and artificial intelligence (AI) enhanced approaches. Compared with traditional forecasting methods, artificial neural networks can be easily implemented, with high performance efficiency and forecasting accuracy. In this study, an extended machine learning framework is proposed combining particle swarm optimization (PSO) with support vector regression (SVR), back-propagation neural network (BPNN), and extreme learning machine (ELM) to forecast the surface settlement for tunnel construction in two large cities of China P.R. Based on real-world data verification, the PSO-SVR method shows the highest forecasting accuracy among the three proposed forecasting algorithms.

The constantly increasing amount and availability of urban data derived from varying sources leads to an assortment of challenges that include, among others, the consolidation, visualization, and maximal exploitation prospects of the aforementioned data. A preeminent problem affecting urban planning is the appropriate choice of location to host a particular activity (either commercial or common welfare service) or the correct use of an existing building or empty space. In this paper, we propose an approach to address these challenges availed with machine learning techniques. The proposed system combines, fuses, and merges various types of data from different sources, encodes them using a novel semantic model that can capture and utilize both low-level geometric information and higher level semantic information and subsequently feeds them to the random forests classifier, as well as other supervised machine learning models for comparisons. Our experimental evaluation on multiple real-world data sets comparing the performance of several classifiers (including Feedforward Neural Networks, Support Vector Machines, Bag of Decision Trees, k-Nearest Neighbors and Naïve Bayes), indicated the superiority of Random Forests in terms of the examined performance metrics (Accuracy, Specificity, Precision, Recall, F-measure and G-mean).


An Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is a system, that checks the network or data for abnormal actions and when such activity is discovered it issues an alert. Numerous IDS techniques are in use these days but one major problem with all of them is their performance. Various works have been done on this issue using support vector machine and multilayer perceptron. Supervised learning models such as support vector machines with related learning algorithms are used to analyze the data which is used for regression analysis and also classification. The IDS is used in analyzing big data as there is huge traffic which has to be analyzed to check for suspicious activities, and also be successful in doing so. Hence, an efficient and fast classification algorithm is required. Machine learning techniques such as neural networks and extreme machine learning are used. Both of these techniques are highly regarded and are considered one of the best techniques. Extreme learning machines are feed forward neural networks which have one hidden layer and no back propagation used for classification. Once the intrusion is detected using IDS through ELM then we are also going to detect the type of intrusion using the Random Forest Technique (Multi class classification) efficiently with a higher rate of accuracy and precision. The NSL_KDD dataset which is very well-known used for the training as well as testing of these IDS algorithms. This work determines that compared to artificial neural network and logistic regression extreme learning machines provide a much better rate of intrusion detection, which is 93.96% and is also proven to be more efficient in terms of execution time of 38 seconds

Diverse machine learning approaches were employed to build regression models for predicting mechanical property of Cu-Ti-Co alloy. The forecasting performance of the least-square support vector machines (LSSVM) model has been compared with other artificial intelligence methods such as GRNN, RBF-PLS and RBFNN. The models were developed and validated utilizing a cross-validation (CV) procedure to improve the forecasting accuracy and generalization ability. The result demonstrates that the generalization performance of the new LSSVM is slightly better or superior to those acquired using GRNN, RBF-PLS and RBFNN. In future, it would be expected that the relatively new model based on machine learning is used as an especially helpful implement to accelerate materials design of copper alloys.

The current trend in modern research revolves around novel techniques that can predict the characteristics of materials without consuming time, effort, and experimental costs. The adaptation of machine learning techniques to compute the various properties of materials is gaining more attention. This study aims to use both standalone and ensemble machine learning techniques to forecast the 28-day compressive strength of high-performance concrete. One standalone technique (support vector regression (SVR)) and two ensemble techniques (AdaBoost and random forest) were applied for this purpose. To validate the performance of each technique, coefficient of determination (R2), statistical, and k-fold cross-validation checks were used. Additionally, the contribution of input parameters towards the prediction of results was determined by applying sensitivity analysis. It was proven that all the techniques employed showed improved performance in predicting the outcomes. The random forest model was the most accurate, with an R2 value of 0.93, compared to the support vector regression and AdaBoost models, with R2 values of 0.83 and 0.90, respectively. In addition, statistical and k-fold cross-validation checks validated the random forest model as the best performer based on lower error values. However, the prediction performance of the support vector regression and AdaBoost models was also within an acceptable range. This shows that novel machine learning techniques can be used to predict the mechanical properties of high-performance concrete.

This chapter introduces great challenges and the novel machine learning techniques employed in clinical data processing. It argues that the novel machine learning techniques including support vector machines, ensemble learning, feature selection, feature reuse by using multi-task learning, and multi-label learning provide potentially more substantive solutions for decision support and clinical data analysis. The authors demonstrate the generalization performance of the novel machine learning techniques on real world data sets including one data set of brain glioma, one data set of coronary heart disease in Chinese Medicine and some tumor data sets of microarray. More and more machine learning techniques will be developed to improve analysis precision of clinical data sets.

Remotely sensed data are often adversely affected by many types of noise, which influences the classification result. Supervised machine-learning (ML) classifiers such as random forest (RF), support vector machine (SVM), and back-propagation neural network (BPNN) are broadly reported to improve robustness against noise. However, only a few comparative studies that may help investigate this robustness have been reported. An important contribution, going beyond previous studies, is that we perform the analyses by employing the most well-known and broadly implemented packages of the three classifiers and control their settings to represent users’ actual applications. This facilitates an understanding of the extent to which the noise types and levels in remotely sensed data impact classification accuracy using ML classifiers. By using those implementations, we classified the land cover data from a satellite image that was separately afflicted by seven-level zero-mean Gaussian, salt–pepper, and speckle noise. The modeling data and features were strictly controlled. Finally, we discussed how each noise type affects the accuracy obtained from each classifier and the robustness of the classifiers to noise in the data. This may enhance our understanding of the relationship between noises, the supervised ML classifiers, and remotely sensed data.

In this paper, we investigate analysis and prediction of the time-dependent data. We focus our attention on four different stocks are selected from Yahoo Finance historical database. To build up models and predict the future stock price, we consider three different machine learning techniques including Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and Support Vector Regression (SVR). By treating close price, open price, daily low, daily high, adjusted close price, and volume of trades as predictors in machine learning methods, it can be shown that the prediction accuracy is improved.
