Ethanol is one of the most used fuels in Brazil, which is the second-largest producer of this biofuel in the world. The uncertainty of price direction in the future increases the risk for agents operating in this market and can affect a dependent price chain, such as food and gasoline. This paper uses the architecture of recurrent neural networks—Long short-term memory (LSTM)—to predict Brazilian ethanol spot prices for three horizon-times (12, 6 and 3 months ahead). The proposed model is compared to three benchmark algorithms: Random Forest, SVM Linear and RBF. We evaluate statistical measures such as MSE (Mean Squared Error), MAPE (Mean Absolute Percentage Error), and accuracy to assess the algorithm robustness. Our findings suggest LSTM outperforms the other techniques in regression, considering both MSE and MAPE but SVM Linear is better to identify price trends. Concerning predictions per se, all errors increase during the pandemic period, reinforcing the challenge to identify patterns in crisis scenarios.

Vehicle acceleration and deceleration maneuvers at traffic signals result in significant fuel and energy consumption levels. Green light optimal speed advisory systems require reliable estimates of signal switching times to improve vehicle energy/fuel efficiency. Obtaining these estimates is difficult for actuated signals where the length of each green indication changes to accommodate varying traffic conditions and pedestrian requests. This study details a four-step long short-term memory (LSTM) deep learning based methodology that can be used to provide reasonable switching time estimates from green to red and vice versa while being robust to missing data. The four steps are data gathering, data preparation, machine learning model tuning, and model testing and evaluation. The input to the models includes controller logic, signal timing parameters, time of day, traffic state from detectors, vehicle actuation data, and pedestrian actuation data. The methodology is applied and evaluated on data from an intersection in Northern Virginia. A comparative analysis is conducted between different loss functions including the mean squared error, mean absolute error, and mean relative error used in LSTM and a new loss function that is proposed in this paper. The results show that while the proposed loss function outperforms conventional loss functions in overall absolute error values, the choice of the loss function is dependent on the prediction horizon. Specifically, the proposed loss function is slightly outperformed by the mean relative error for very short prediction horizons (less than 20 s) and the mean squared error for very long prediction horizons (greater than 120 s).

Reaction wheels are widely used in the attitude control system of small satellites. Unfortunately, reaction wheels failure restricts the efficacy of a satellite, and it is one of the many reasons leading to premature abandonment of the satellites. This study observes the measurable system parameter of a faulty reaction wheel induced with incipient fault to estimate the remaining useful life of the reaction wheels. We achieve this goal in three stages, as none of the observable system parameters are directly related to the health of a reaction wheel. In the first stage, we identify the necessary observable system parameter and predict the future of these parameters using sensor acquired data and a long short-term memory recurrent neural network. In the second stage, we estimate the health index parameter using a multivariate long short-term memory network. In the third stage, we predict the remaining useful life of reaction wheels based on historical data of the health index parameter. Normalized root mean squared error is used to evaluate the performance of the various models in each stage. Additionally, three different timespans (short, moderate, and extended in the scale of small satellite orbit times) are simulated and tested for the performance of the proposed methodology regarding the malfunction of reaction wheels. Furthermore, the robustness of the proposed method to missing values, input frequency, and noise is studied. The results show promising performance for the proposed scheme with accuracy in predicting health index parameter around 0.01–0.02 normalized root mean squared error, the accuracy in prediction of RUL of 1%–2.5%, and robustness to various uncertainty factors, as discussed above.

This manuscript confirms the feasibility of using a long short-term memory (LSTM) recurrent neural network (RNN) to forecast lumber stock prices during the great and Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic recessions in the USA. The database was composed of 5012 data entries divided into recession periods. We applied a timeseries cross-validation that divided the dataset into an 80:20 training/validation ratio. The network contained five LSTM layers with 50 units each followed by a dense output layer. We evaluated the performance of the network via mean squared error (MSE), root mean squared error (RMSE), and mean absolute error (MAE) for 30, 60, and 120 timesteps and the recession periods. The metrics results indicated that the network was able to capture the trend for both recession periods with a remarkably low degree of error. Timeseries forecasting may help the forest and forest product industries to manage their inventory, transportation costs, and response readiness to critical economic events.

Abstract Background Forest canopies are highly sensitive to their growth, health, and climate change. The study aims to obtain time sequence images in mix foresters using a near-earth remote sensing method to track the seasonal variation in the color index and select the optimal color index. Three different regions of interest (RIOs) were defined and six color indexes (GRVI, HUE, GGR, RCC, GCC, and GEI) were calculated to analyze the microenvironment difference. The key phenological phase was identified using the double logistic model and the derivative method, and the phenology forecast of color indexes was performed based on the long short-term memory (LSTM) model. Results The results showed that the same color index in different RIOs and different color indexes in the same RIO present a slight difference in the days of growth and the days corresponding to the peak value, exhibiting different phenological phases; the mean squared error (MSE), root mean squared error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) of the LSTM model was 0.0016, 0.0405, 0.0334, and 12.55%, respectively, indicating that this model has a good forecast effect. Conclusions In different areas of the same forest, differences in the micro-ecological environment in the canopies were prevalent, with their internal growth mechanism being affected by different cultivation ways and the external environment. Besides, the optimal color index also varies with species in phenological response, that is, different color indexes are used for different forests. With the data of color indexes as the training set and forecast set, the feasibility of the LSTM model in phenology forecast is verified.

Delay in airline services, become an unpleasant experience for passengers who experience it. This study aims to build a model that can predict flight delay (departure) using the Long Short Term Memory method and can find out its performance. In this study there are two scenarios that have different ways of preprocessing. Both of these scenarios produce predictions with error values calculated using Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), respectively from the first to the second scenario namely: 41, 21. Between the two, the second scenario is better than the first scenario due to extreme data deletion ( anomaly) in the second scenario with an error value using RMSE of 0.116.

Continuous blood pressure (BP) acquisition is critical to health monitoring of an individual. Photoplethysmography (PPG) is one of the most popular technologies in the last decade used for measuring blood pressure noninvasively. Several approaches have been carried out in various ways to utilize features extracted from PPG. In this study, we develop a continuous systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP) estimation mechanism without the need for any feature engineering. The raw PPG signal only got preprocessed before being fed to our model which mainly consists of one-dimensional convolutional neural network (CNN) and bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) network. We evaluate the resulting SBP and DBP value by the root-mean-squared error (RMSE) and mean absolute error (MAE). This study addresses the effectiveness of the model by outperforming the previous feature engineering-based methods. We achieve RMSE of 11.503 and 6.525 for SBP and DBP, respectively, and MAE of 7.849 and 4.418 for SBP and DBP, respectively. The proposed method is expected to substantially enhance the current efficiency of healthcare IoT (Internet of Things) devices in BP monitoring using PPG signals only.
