A predictive analytics methodology is presented, utilizing machine learning algorithms to identify the performance state of marine journal bearings in terms of maximum pressure, minimum film thickness, Sommerfeld number, load and shaft speed. A dataset of different bearing operation states has been generated by solving numerically the Reynolds equation in the hydrodynamic lubrication regime, for steady-state loading conditions and assuming isothermal and isoviscous lubricant flow. The shaft has been modelled with four different values of misalignment angle, lying within the acceptable operating range, as defined in the existing regulatory framework. The journal bearing was modelled parametrically using generic geometric parameters of a marine stern tube bearing. The lift-off speed was estimated for each loading scenario to ensure operation in the hydrodynamic lubrication regime and the effect of shaft misalignment on lift-off speed has been evaluated. The generated dataset was utilised for training, testing and validation of several machine learning algorithms, as well as feature selection analysis, in order to solve several classification problems and identify the various bearing operational states.

Classification Problems

Abstract Binary classification is a widely employed problem to facilitate the decisions on various biomedical big data questions, such as clinical drug trials between treated participants and controls, and genome-wide association studies (GWASs) between participants with or without a phenotype. A machine learning model is trained for this purpose by optimizing the power of discriminating samples from two groups. However, most of the classification algorithms tend to generate one locally optimal solution according to the input dataset and the mathematical presumptions of the dataset. Here we demonstrated from the aspects of both disease classification and feature selection that multiple different solutions may have similar classification performances. So the existing machine learning algorithms may have ignored a horde of fishes by catching only a good one. Since most of the existing machine learning algorithms generate a solution by optimizing a mathematical goal, it may be essential for understanding the biological mechanisms for the investigated classification question, by considering both the generated solution and the ignored ones.

Energy Prosumers

Digitalization and decentralization of energy supply have introduced several challenges to emerging power grids known as smart grids. One of the significant challenges, on the demand side, is preserving the stability of the power systems due to locally distributed energy sources such as micro-power generation and storage units among energy prosumers at the household and community levels. In this context, energy prosumers are defined as energy consumers who also generate, store and trade energy. Accurate predictions of energy supply and electric demand of prosuemrs can address the stability issues at local levels. This study aims to develop appropriate forecasting frameworks for such environments to preserve power stability. Building on existing work on energy forecasting at low-aggregated levels, it asks: What factors influence most on consumption and generation patterns of residential customers as energy prosumers. It also investigates how the accuracy of forecasting models at the household and community levels can be improved. Based on a review of the literature on energy forecasting and per- forming empirical study on real datasets, the forecasting frameworks were developed focusing on short-term prediction horizons. These frameworks are built upon predictive analytics including data col- lection, data analysis, data preprocessing, and predictive machine learning algorithms based on statistical learning, artificial neural networks and deep learning. Analysis of experimental results demonstrated that load observa- tions from previous hours (lagged loads) along with air temperature and time variables highly affects the households’ consumption and generation behaviour. The results also indicate that the prediction accuracy of adopted machine learning techniques can be improved by feeding them with highly influential variables and appliance-level data as well as by combining multiple learning algorithms ranging from conventional to deep neural networks. Further research is needed to investigate online approaches that could strengthen the effectiveness of forecasting in time-sensitive energy environments.

Abstract. Weather index insurance is an innovative tool in risk transfer for disasters induced by natural hazards. This paper proposes a methodology that uses machine learning algorithms for the identification of extreme flood and drought events aimed at reducing the basis risk connected to this kind of insurance mechanism. The model types selected for this study were the neural network and the support vector machine, vastly adopted for classification problems, which were built exploring thousands of possible configurations based on the combination of different model parameters. The models were developed and tested in the Dominican Republic context, based on data from multiple sources covering a time period between 2000 and 2019. Using rainfall and soil moisture data, the machine learning algorithms provided a strong improvement when compared to logistic regression models, used as a baseline for both hazards. Furthermore, increasing the amount of information provided during the training of the models proved to be beneficial to the performances, increasing their classification accuracy and confirming the ability of these algorithms to exploit big data and their potential for application within index insurance products.

Major Public Health Problem

Dengue is fast emerging pandemic-prone viral disease in many parts of the world. Dengue flourishes in urban areas, suburbs, and the countryside, but also affects more affluent neighborhoods in tropical and subtropical countries. Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral infection causing a severe flu-like illness and sometimes causing a potentially deadly complication called severe dengue. It is a major public health problem in India. Accurate and timely forecasts of dengue incidence in India are still lacking. In this chapter, the state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms are used to develop an accurate predictive model of dengue. Several machine learning algorithms are used as candidate models to predict dengue incidence. Performance and goodness of fit of the models were assessed, and it is found that the optimized SVR gives minimal RMSE 0.25. The classifiers are applied, and experiment results show that the extreme boost and random forest gives 93.65% accuracy.

Best Fit

Volunteering is very important to high school students because it not only allows the teens to apply the knowledge and skills they have acquired to real-life scenarios, but it also enables them to make an association between helping others and their own joy of fulfillment. Choosing the right volunteering opportunities to work on can influence how the teens interact with that cause and how well they can serve the community through their volunteering services. However, high school students who look for volunteer opportunities often do not have enough information about the opportunities around them, so they tend to take whatever opportunity that comes across. On the other hand, as organizations who look for volunteers usually lack effective ways to evaluate and select the volunteers that best fit the jobs, they will just take volunteers on a first-come, firstserve basis. Therefore, there is a need to build a platform that serves as a bridge to connect the volunteers and the organizations that offer volunteer opportunities. In this paper, we focus on creating an intelligent platform that can effectively evaluate volunteer performance and predict best-fit volunteer opportunities by using machine learning algorithms to study 1) the correlation between volunteer profiles (e.g. demographics, preferred jobs, talents, previous volunteering events, etc.) and predictive volunteer performance in specific events and 2) the correlation between volunteer profiles and future volunteer opportunities. Two highest-scoring machine learning algorithms are proposed to make predictions on volunteer performance and event recommendations. We demonstrate that the two highest-scoring algorithms are able to make the best prediction for each query. Alongside the practice with the algorithms, a mobile application, which can run on both iPhone and Android platforms is also created to provide a very convenient and effective way for the volunteers and event supervisors to plan and manage their volunteer activities. As a result of this research, volunteers and organizations that look for volunteers can both benefit from this data-driven platform for a more positive overall experience.

Oil And Gas Sector

The article describes the tasks of the oil and gas sector that can be solved by machine learning algorithms. These tasks include the study of the interference of wells, the classification of wells according to their technological and geophysical characteristics, the assessment of the effectiveness of ongoing and planned geological and technical measures, the forecast of oil production for individual wells and the total oil production for a group of wells, the forecast of the base level of oil production, the forecast of reservoir pressures and mapping. For each task, the features of building machine learning models and examples of input data are described. All of the above tasks are related to regression or classification problems. Of particular interest is the issue of well placement optimisation. Such a task cannot be directly solved using a single neural network. It can be attributed to the problems of optimal control theory, which are usually solved using dynamic programming methods. A paper is considered where field management and well placement are based on a reinforcement learning algorithm with Markov chains and Bellman's optimality equation. The disadvantages of the proposed approach are revealed. To eliminate them, a new approach of reinforcement learning based on the Alpha Zero algorithm is proposed. This algorithm is best known in the field of gaming artificial intelligence, beating the world champions in chess and Go. It combines the properties of dynamic and stochastic programming. The article discusses in detail the principle of operation of the algorithm and identifies common features that make it possible to consider this algorithm as a possible promising solution for the problem of optimising the placement of a grid of wells.
