Accurate generation prediction at multiple time-steps is of paramount importance for reliable and economical operation of wind farms. This study proposed a novel algorithmic solution using various forms of machine learning techniques in a hybrid manner, including phase space reconstruction (PSR), input variable selection (IVS), K-means clustering and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). The PSR technique transforms the historical time series into a set of phase-space variables combining with the numerical weather prediction (NWP) data to prepare candidate inputs. A minimal redundancy maximal relevance (mRMR) criterion based filtering approach is used to automatically select the optimal input variables for the multi-step ahead prediction. Then, the input instances are divided into a set of subsets using the K-means clustering to train the ANFIS. The ANFIS parameters are further optimized to improve the prediction performance by the use of particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. The proposed solution is extensively evaluated through case studies of two realistic wind farms and the numerical results clearly confirm its effectiveness and improved prediction accuracy compared to benchmark solutions.

Drug synergy prediction plays a significant role in the medical field for inhibiting specific cancer agents. It can be developed as a pre-processing tool for therapeutic successes. Examination of different drug–drug interaction can be done by drug synergy score. It needs efficient regression-based machine learning approaches to minimize the prediction errors. Numerous machine learning techniques such as neural networks, support vector machines, random forests, LASSO, Elastic Nets, etc., have been used in the past to realize requirement as mentioned above. However, these techniques individually do not provide significant accuracy in drug synergy score. Therefore, the primary objective of this paper is to design a neuro-fuzzy-based ensembling approach. To achieve this, nine well-known machine learning techniques have been implemented by considering the drug synergy data. Based on the accuracy of each model, four techniques with high accuracy are selected to develop ensemble-based machine learning model. These models are Random forest, Fuzzy Rules Using Genetic Cooperative-Competitive Learning method (GFS.GCCL), Adaptive-Network-Based Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and Dynamic Evolving Neural-Fuzzy Inference System method (DENFIS). Ensembling is achieved by evaluating the biased weighted aggregation (i.e. adding more weights to the model with a higher prediction score) of predicted data by selected models. The proposed and existing machine learning techniques have been evaluated on drug synergy score data. The comparative analysis reveals that the proposed method outperforms others in terms of accuracy, root mean square error and coefficient of correlation.

Approximating the complex nonlinear relationships that dominate the exchange of carbon dioxide fluxes between the biosphere and atmosphere is fundamentally important for addressing the issue of climate change. The progress of machine learning techniques has offered a number of useful tools for the scientific community aiming to gain new insights into the temporal and spatial variation of different carbon fluxes in terrestrial ecosystems. In this study, adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and generalized regression neural network (GRNN) models were developed to predict the daily carbon fluxes in three boreal forest ecosystems based on eddy covariance (EC) measurements. Moreover, a comparison was made between the modeled values derived from these models and those of traditional artificial neural network (ANN) and support vector machine (SVM) models. These models were also compared with multiple linear regression (MLR). Several statistical indicators, including coefficient of determination (R2), Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE), bias error (Bias) and root mean square error (RMSE) were utilized to evaluate the performance of the applied models. The results showed that the developed machine learning models were able to account for the most variance in the carbon fluxes at both daily and hourly time scales in the three stands and they consistently and substantially outperformed the MLR model for both daily and hourly carbon flux estimates. It was demonstrated that the ANFIS and ANN models provided similar estimates in the testing period with an approximate value of R2 = 0.93, NSE = 0.91, Bias = 0.11 g C m−2 day−1 and RMSE = 1.04 g C m−2 day−1 for daily gross primary productivity, 0.94, 0.82, 0.24 g C m−2 day−1 and 0.72 g C m−2 day−1 for daily ecosystem respiration, and 0.79, 0.75, 0.14 g C m−2 day−1 and 0.89 g C m−2 day−1 for daily net ecosystem exchange, and slightly outperformed the GRNN and SVM models. In practical terms, however, the newly developed models (ANFIS and GRNN) are more robust and flexible, and have less parameters needed for selection and optimization in comparison with traditional ANN and SVM models. Consequently, they can be used as valuable tools to estimate forest carbon fluxes and fill the missing carbon flux data during the long-term EC measurements.

<p>Probability distributions based on ensemble forecasts are commonly used to assess uncertainty in weather prediction. However, interpreting these distributions is not trivial, especially in the case of multimodality with distinct likely outcomes. The conventional summary employs mean and standard deviation across ensemble members, which works well for unimodal, Gaussian-like distributions. In the case of multimodality this misleads, discarding crucial information. </p><p>We aim at combining previously developed clustering algorithms in machine learning and topological data analysis to extract useful information such as the number of clusters in an ensemble. Given the chaotic behaviour of the atmosphere, machine learning techniques can provide relevant results even if no, or very little, a priori information about the data is available. In addition, topological methods that analyse the shape of the data can make results explainable.</p><p>Given an ensemble of univariate time series, a graph is generated whose edges and vertices represent clusters of members, including additional information for each cluster such as the members belonging to them, their uncertainty, and their relevance according to the graph. In the case of multimodality, this approach provides relevant and quantitative information beyond the commonly used mean and standard deviation approach that helps to further characterise the predictability.</p>

Background: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is the most frequent non-traumatic neurological disease capable of causing disability in young adults. Detection of MS lesions with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the most common technique. However, manual interpretation of vast amounts of data is often tedious and error-prone. Furthermore, changes in lesions are often subtle and extremely unrepresentative. Objectives: To develop an automated non-subjective method for the detection and quantification of MS lesions. Materials & Methods: This paper focuses on the automatic detection and classification of MS lesions in brain MRI images. Two datasets, one simulated and the other one recorded in hospital, are utilized in this work. A novel hybrid algorithm combining image processing and machine learning techniques is implemented. To this end, first, intricate morphological patterns are extracted from MRI images via texture analysis. Then, statistical textures-based features are extracted. Afterward, two supervised machine learning algorithms, i.e., the Hidden Markov Model (HMM) and Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) are employed within a hybrid platform. The hybrid system makes decisions based on ensemble learning. The stacking technique is used to apply predictions from both models o train a perceptron as a decisive model. Results: Experimental results on both datasets indicate that the proposed hybrid method outperforms HMM and ANFIS classifiers with reducing false positives. Furthermore, the performance of the proposed method compared with the state-of-the-art methods, was approved. Conclusion: Remarkable results of the proposed method motivate advanced detection systems employing other MRI sequences and their combination.
