The purpose of this paper is to analyze the modern deep neural networks such as nonlinear autoregressive network with external inputs and a recurrent neural network called long short-term memory for wind speed forecast for long-term and use the prediction for fatigue analysis of a large 5 MW wind turbine blade made of composite materials. The use of machine learning algorithms of advanced neural network applied for engineering problems is increasing recently. The present paper therefore brings as important connection between these latest machine learning methods and engineering analysis of complex wind turbine blades which are also the focus of researchers in renewable system design and analysis. First, a nonlinear autoregressive network with external inputs neural network model using Levenberg–Marquardt back propagation feed forward algorithm is developed with 5 years of environment parameters as input. Similarly, a long short-term memory based model is developed and compared. The chosen long short-term memory model is used for developing two-year wind speed forecast. This wind pattern is used to create time varying loads on blade sections and cross-verified with National Renewable Energy Laboratory tools. A high-fidelity CAD model of the NREL 5 MW blade is developed and the fatigue analysis of the blade is carried out using the stress life approach with load ratio based on cohesive zone modeling. The blade is found to have available life of about 23.6 years. Thus, an integrated methodology is developed involving high-fidelity modeling of the composite material blade, wind speed forecasting using multiple environmental parameters using latest deep learning methods for machine learning, dynamic wind load calculation, and fatigue analysis for National Renewable Energy Laboratory blade.

Abstract. In this paper, the performance of three machine-learning methods for predicting short-term evolution and for reproducing the long-term statistics of a multiscale spatiotemporal Lorenz 96 system is examined. The methods are an echo state network (ESN, which is a type of reservoir computing; hereafter RC–ESN), a deep feed-forward artificial neural network (ANN), and a recurrent neural network (RNN) with long short-term memory (LSTM; hereafter RNN–LSTM). This Lorenz 96 system has three tiers of nonlinearly interacting variables representing slow/large-scale (X), intermediate (Y), and fast/small-scale (Z) processes. For training or testing, only X is available; Y and Z are never known or used. We show that RC–ESN substantially outperforms ANN and RNN–LSTM for short-term predictions, e.g., accurately forecasting the chaotic trajectories for hundreds of numerical solver's time steps equivalent to several Lyapunov timescales. The RNN–LSTM outperforms ANN, and both methods show some prediction skills too. Furthermore, even after losing the trajectory, data predicted by RC–ESN and RNN–LSTM have probability density functions (pdf's) that closely match the true pdf – even at the tails. The pdf of the data predicted using ANN, however, deviates from the true pdf. Implications, caveats, and applications to data-driven and data-assisted surrogate modeling of complex nonlinear dynamical systems, such as weather and climate, are discussed.

Com o uso de aplicações web em ambientes dinâmicos de computação em nuvem integrados com dispositivos IoT, os ataques de injeção de SQL e de XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) continuam causando problemas para a segurança. A detecção de requisições maliciosas a nível de aplicação representa um desafio na pesquisa, que está evoluindo usando técnicas de Machine Learning e redes neurais. Este trabalho apresenta a comparação entre duas arquiteturas de aprendizado de máquina usadas para detectar requisições web maliciosas: LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory) e CLCNN (Character-level Convolutional Neural Network). Os resultados demonstram que a CLCNN é a mais eficaz em todas as métricas, com uma acurácia de 98,13%, precisão de 99,84%, taxa de detecção em 95,66% e com um F1-score de 97,70%.

AbstractEvaporation is a key element for water resource management, hydrological modelling, and irrigation system designing. Monthly evaporation (Ep) was projected by deploying three machine learning (ML) models included Extreme Gradient Boosting, ElasticNet Linear Regression, and Long Short-Term Memory; and two empirical techniques namely Stephens-Stewart and Thornthwaite. The aim of this study is to develop a reliable generalised model to predict evaporation throughout Malaysia. In this context, monthly meteorological statistics from two weather stations in Malaysia were utilised for training and testing the models on the basis of climatic aspects such as maximum temperature, mean temperature, minimum temperature, wind speed, relative humidity, and solar radiation for the period of 2000–2019. For every approach, multiple models were formulated by utilising various combinations of input parameters and other model factors. The performance of models was assessed by utilising standard statistical measures. The outcomes indicated that the three machine learning models formulated outclassed empirical models and could considerably enhance the precision of monthly Ep estimate even with the same combinations of inputs. In addition, the performance assessment showed that Long Short-Term Memory Neural Network (LSTM) offered the most precise monthly Ep estimations from all the studied models for both stations. The LSTM-10 model performance measures were (R2 = 0.970, MAE = 0.135, MSE = 0.027, RMSE = 0.166, RAE = 0.173, RSE = 0.029) for Alor Setar and (R2 = 0.986, MAE = 0.058, MSE = 0.005, RMSE = 0.074, RAE = 0.120, RSE = 0.013) for Kota Bharu.
