 The Prediction Model of Water Level in Front of the Check Gate of the LSTM Neural Network Based on AIW-CLPSO

  • Authors: Linqing Gao, Dengzhe Ha, Litao Ma, Jiqiang Chen

  • Journal: Journal of Combinatorial Optimization, Volume 47, Issue 2, 2024

  • Citations: 0 (as per latest available data)

Summary:

This study addresses the challenge of accurately predicting water levels in front of check gates, which is crucial for water resource management. The authors propose a hybrid model combining Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural networks with an Adaptive Inertia Weight Comprehensive Learning Particle Swarm Optimization (AIW-CLPSO) algorithm. This integration aims to enhance the global optimization capability and convergence speed of the prediction model. The model was applied to the Chaohu Lake check gate, demonstrating superior performance with a Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency coefficient of 0.9851 and a root mean square error of 0.0273 meters. The results indicate that the proposed AIW-CLPSO-LSTM model effectively captures the nonlinear and stochastic characteristics of water level fluctuations, offering a valuable tool for intelligent gate control and water resource scheduling in long-distance water transfer projects.

Discrete Optimal Transport for Class-Imbalanced Classifications

  • Authors: Jiqiang Chen, Jie Wan, Litao Ma

  • Journal: Mathematics, Volume 12, Issue 4, Article 524, 2024

  • Citations: 1 (as per latest available data)

Summary:

This paper introduces a novel approach to address the challenge of class imbalance in classification tasks using Regularized Discrete Optimal Transport (RDOT). The authors develop a framework that incorporates regularization into the discrete optimal transport problem, aiming to improve the performance of classifiers on imbalanced datasets. By formulating the classification problem as a transport problem between empirical distributions of different classes, the method seeks to find an optimal mapping that minimizes the cost while considering regularization terms to prevent overfitting. Experimental results on various benchmark datasets demonstrate that the proposed RDOT approach outperforms traditional methods in terms of accuracy and robustness, particularly in scenarios with significant class imbalance. This work contributes to the field by providing a mathematically grounded and effective solution for imbalanced classification problems.
