It is always hard to draw on the experience of completed projects to predict engineering cost, and the nonlinear characteristic of the influence factors of engineering cost increases the difficulty of prediction. Less efforts and higher accuracy are the objects pursued by related researchers. In this paper, the Cost Significant theorem is applied to simplify computing and the chaotic neural network is used to improve accuracy. The prediction model is rooted from the nonlinear dynamic chaotic system theory and two techniques employed are phase space reconstruction and chaotic neural network construction. The experiment results indicate that the model is suitable for estimating short-term engineering investment and the prediction accuracy is improved.

The Ambient Compressive Strength (CS) of pellets, influenced by several factors, is regarded as a criterion to assess pellets during metallurgical processes. A prediction model based on Artificial Neural Network (ANN) was proposed in order to provide a reliable and economic control strategy for CS in pellet production and to forecast and control pellet CS. The dimensionality of 19 influence factors of CS was considered and reduced by Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The PCA variables were then used as the input variables for the Back Propagation (BP) neural network, which was upgraded by Genetic Algorithm (GA), with CS as the output variable. After training and testing with production data, the PCA-GA-BP neural network was established. Additionally, the sensitivity analysis of input variables was calculated to obtain a detailed influence on pellet CS. It has been found that prediction accuracy of the PCA-GA-BP network mentioned here is 96.4%, indicating that the ANN network is effective to predict CS in the pelletizing process.

Background: Energy conservation has always been a major issue in our country, and the air conditioning energy consumption of buildings accounts for the majority of the energy consumption of buildings. If the building load can be predicted and the air conditioning equipment can respond in advance, it can not only save energy, but also extend the life of the equipment. Introduction: The Neural network proposed in this paper can deeply analyze the load characteristics through three gate structures, which is helpful to improve the prediction accuracy. Combined with grey relational degree method, the prediction speed can be accelerated. Method: This paper introduces a grey relational degree method to analyze the factors related to air conditioning load and selects the best ones. A Long Short Term Memory Neural Network (LSTMNN) prediction model was established. In this paper, grey relational analysis and LSTMNN are combined to predict the air conditioning load of an office building, and the predicted results are compared with the real values. Results: Compared with Back Propagation Neural Network (BPNN) prediction model and Support Vector Machine (SVM) prediction model, the simulation results show that this method has better effect on air conditioning load prediction. Conclusion: Grey relational degree analysis can extract the main factors from the numerous data, which is more convenient and quicker without repeated trial and error. LSTMNN prediction model not only considers the relation of air conditioning load on time series, but also considers the nonlinear relation between load and other factors. This model has higher prediction accuracy, shorter prediction time and great application potential.

With the continuous optimization of energy structures, wind power generation has become the dominant new energy source. The strong random fluctuation of natural wind will bring challenges to power system dispatching, so it is necessary to predict wind power. In order to improve the short-term prediction accuracy of regional wind power, this paper proposes a new combination prediction model based on convolutional neural network (CNN) and similar days analysis. Firstly, the least square fitting and batch normalization (BN) are used to preprocess the data, and then the recent historical wind power data set for CNN is established. Secondly, the Pearson correlation coefficient and cosine similarity combination method are utilized to find similar days in the long-term data set, and the prediction model based on similar days is constructed by the weighting method. Finally, based on the particle swarm optimization (PSO) method, a combined forecasting model is established. The results show that the combined model can accurately predict the future short-term wind power curve, and the prediction accuracy is improved to different extents compared to a single method.

In recent years, the cost index predictions of construction engineering projects are becoming important research topics in the field of construction management. Previous methods have limitations in reasonably reflecting the timeliness of engineering cost indexes. The recurrent neural network (RNN) belongs to a time series network, and the purpose of timeliness transfer calculation is achieved through the weight sharing of time steps. The long-term and short-term memory neural network (LSTM NN) solves the RNN limitations of the gradient vanishing and the inability to address long-term dependence under the premise of having the above advantages. The present study proposed a new framework based on LSTM, so as to explore the applicability and optimization mechanism of the algorithm in the field of cost indexes prediction. A survey was conducted in Shenzhen, China, where a total of 143 data samples were collected based on the index set for the corresponding time interval from May 2007 to March 2019. A prediction framework based on the LSTM model, which was trained by using these collected data, was established for the purpose of cost index predictions and test. The testing results showed that the proposed LSTM framework had obvious advantages in prediction because of the ability of processing high-dimensional feature vectors and the capability of selectively recording historical information. Compared with other advanced cost prediction methods, such as Support Vector Machine (SVM), this framework has advantages such as being able to capture long-distance dependent information and can provide short-term predictions of engineering cost indexes both effectively and accurately. This research extended current algorithm tools that can be used to forecast cost indexes and evaluated the optimization mechanism of the algorithm in order to improve the efficiency and accuracy of prediction, which have not been explored in current research knowledge.
