Feature selection or dimensionally reduction can be considered as a multi-objective minimization problem with two objectives: minimizing the number of features and minimizing the error rate simultaneously. Despite being a multiobjective problem, most existing approaches treat feature selection as a single-objective optimization problem. Recently, Multiobjective Grey Wolf optimizer (MOGWO) was proposed to solve multi-objective optimization problem. However, MOGWO was originally designed for continuous optimization problems and hence, it cannot be utilized directly to solve multi-objective feature selection problems which are inherently discrete in nature. Therefore, in this research, a binary version of MOGWO based on sigmoid transfer function called BMOGW-S is developed to optimize feature selection problems. A wrapper based Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is used to assess the classification performance of a subset of selected features. To validate the performance of the proposed method, 15 standard benchmark datasets from the UCI repository are employed. The proposed BMOGWO-S was compared with MOGWO with a tanh transfer function and Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA-II) and Multi-objective Particle Swarm Optimization (MOPSO). The results showed that the proposed BMOGWO-S can effectively determine a set of non-dominated solutions. The proposed method outperforms the existing multi-objective approaches in most cases in terms of features reduction as well as classification error rate while benefiting from a lower computational cost.
Air pollution is one of the world’s most significant challenges. Predicting air pollution is critical for air quality research, as it affects public health. The Air Pollution Index (API) is a convenient tool to describe air quality. Air pollution predictions can provide accurate information on the future pollution situation, effectively controlling air pollution. Governments have expressed growing concern about air pollution due to its global effect on human health and sustainable growth. This paper proposes a novel forecasting model using One-Dimensional Deep Convolutional Neural Network (1D-CNN) and Exponential Adaptive Gradients (EAG) optimization to predict API for a selected location, Klang, a city in Malaysia. The proposed 1D-CNN–EAG exponentially accumulates past model gradients to adaptively tune the learning rate and converge in both convex and non-convex areas. We use hourly air pollution data over three years (January 2012 to December 2014) for training. Parameter optimization and model evaluation was accomplished by a grid-search with k-folds cross-validation. Results have confirmed that the proposed approach achieves better prediction accuracy than the benchmark models in terms of Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) and the Correlation Coefficient (R-Squared) with values of 2.036, 2.354, 4.214 and 0.966, respectively, and time complexity.
Constructing offshore and coastal structures with the highest level of stability and lowest cost, as well as the prevention of faulty risk, is the desired plan that stakeholders seek to obtain. The successful construction plans of such projects mostly rely on well-analyzed and modeled metocean data that yield high prediction accuracy for the ocean environmental conditions including waves and wind. Over the past decades, planning and designing coastal projects have been accomplished by traditional static analytic, which requires tremendous efforts and high-cost resources to validate the data and determine the transformation of metocean data conditions. Therefore, the wind plays an essential role in the oceanic atmosphere and contributes to the formation of waves. This paper proposes an enhanced weight-optimized neural network based on Sine Cosine Algorithm (SCA) to accurately predict the wave height. Three neural network models named: Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Vanilla Recurrent Neural Network (VRNN), and Gated Recurrent Network (GRU) are enhanced, instead of random weight initialization, SCA generates weight values that are adaptable to the nature of the data and model structure. Besides, a Grid Search (GS) is utilized to automatically find the best models’ configurations. To validate the performance of the proposed models, metocean datasets have been used. The original LSTM, VRNN, and GRU are implemented and used as benchmarking models. The results show that the optimized models outperform the original three benchmarking models in terms of mean squared error (MSE), root mean square error (RMSE), and mean absolute error (MAE).
Stand-alone screens (SASs) are active sand control methods where compatible screens and slot sizes are selected through the sand retention test (SRT) to filter an unacceptable amount of sand produced from oil and gas wells. SRTs have been modelled in the laboratory using computer simulation to replicate experimental conditions and ensure that the selected screens are suitable for selected reservoirs. However, the SRT experimental setups and result analyses are not standardized. A few changes made to the experimental setup can cause a huge variation in results, leading to different plugging performance and sand retention analysis. Besides, conducting many laboratory experiments is expensive and time-consuming. Since the application of CNN in the petroleum industry attained promising results for both classification and regression problems, this method is proposed on SRT to reduce the time, cost, and effort to run the laboratory test by predicting the plugging performance and sand production. The application of deep learning has yet to be imposed in SRT. Therefore, in this study, a deep learning model using a one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1D-CNN) with adaptive moment estimation is developed to model the SRT with the aim of classifying plugging sign (screen plug, the screen does not plug) as well as to predict sand production and retained permeability using a varying sand distribution, SAS, screen slot size, and sand concentration as inputs. The performance of the proposed 1D-CNN model for the slurry test shows that the prediction of retained permeability and the classification of plugging sign achieved robust accuracy with more than a 90% value of R2, while the prediction of sand production achieved 77% accuracy. In addition, the model for the sand pack test achieved 84% accuracy in predicting sand production. For comparative model performance, gradient boosting (GB), K-nearest neighbor (KNN), random forest (RF), and support vector machine (SVM) were also modelled on the same datasets. The results showed that the proposed 1D-CNN model outperforms the other four machine learning models for both SRT tests in terms of prediction accuracy.
