Abstract-In recent years several investigation prove the effects of air pollutants over human health, in this regard is necessary develop systems that allow people reduce the exposure to unhealthy air quality conditions. In This paper we propose a methodology to predict Critical Air Quality Events (CAQE) in Aburrá Valley based on Support Vector Machines (SVM) optimized with Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and a characterization scheme to asses the current and past tendencies of pollutants and weather behavior, analyzing the statistical behavior at different time intervals. We use a three stage methodology consisting in prepossessing, characterizations and CAQE prediction. The proposed method shows the better result for ozone CAQE prediction with an error of 30%. Due to low sensitivity among the pollutants is necessary use another machine learning technique that warranty a robust behavior working with unbalanced data.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
