“…Validation performance is a critical step in a modeling procedure, for which several statistical indices has been suggested and used [13,14,[49][50][51][52]. In this study, we used Area Under Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) [39,[53][54][55][56], Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) [57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64], Kappa, Accuracy (ACC), Specificity (SPF), Sensitivity (SST), Negative predictive value (NPV), and Positive predictive value (PPV) [65][66][67][68][69]. Detail description of these indices is presented in published literature [61,[70][71][72][73][74][75][76][77].…”

The main aim of this study is to assess groundwater potential of the DakNong province, Vietnam, using an advanced ensemble machine learning model (RABANN) that integrates Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) with RealAdaBoost (RAB) ensemble technique. For this study, twelve conditioning factors and wells yield data was used to create the training and testing datasets for the development and validation of the ensemble RABANN model. Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) and several statistical performance measures were used to validate and compare performance of the ensemble RABANN model with the single ANN model. Results of the model studies showed that both models performed well in the training phase of assessing groundwater potential (AUC ≥ 0.7), whereas the ensemble model (AUC = 0.776) outperformed the single ANN model (AUC = 0.699) in the validation phase. This demonstrated that the RAB ensemble technique was successful in improving the performance of the single ANN model. By making minor adjustment in the input data, the ensemble developed model can be adapted for groundwater potential mapping of other regions and countries toward more efficient water resource management. The present study would be helpful in improving the groundwater condition of the area thus in solving water borne disease related health problem of the population.

“…The dataset was randomly divided into two sub-datasets including the training part (60%) and testing part (40%) part. All data were scaled into the range of [0,1] in order to reduce numerical biases while treating with the AI algorithms, as recommended by various studies in the literature [102][103][104]. Such a scaling process is expressed using Equation (4) between raw and scaled data [105][106][107]:…”

Concrete filled steel tubes (CFSTs) show advantageous applications in the field of construction, especially for a high axial load capacity. The challenge in using such structure lies in the selection of many parameters constituting CFST, which necessitates defining complex relationships between the components and the corresponding properties. The axial capacity (P u ) of CFST is among the most important mechanical properties. In this study, the possibility of using a feedforward neural network (FNN) to predict P u was investigated. Furthermore, an evolutionary optimization algorithm, namely invasive weed optimization (IWO), was used for tuning and optimizing the FNN weights and biases to construct a hybrid FNN-IWO model and improve its prediction performance. The results showed that the FNN-IWO algorithm is an excellent predictor of P u , with a value of R 2 of up to 0.979. The advantage of FNN-IWO was also pointed out with the gains in accuracy of 47.9%, 49.2%, and 6.5% for root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), and R 2 , respectively, compared with simulation using the single FNN. Finally, the performance in predicting the P u in the function of structural parameters such as depth/width ratio, thickness of steel tube, yield stress of steel, concrete compressive strength, and slenderness ratio was investigated and discussed.Materials 2020, 13, 1205 2 of 25 larger energy absorption capacity [7], convenient construction [11], economy of materials [12][13][14], and excellent seismic and refractory performance [15]. In particular, this type of structure can reduce the environmental burden by removing formwork [16], reusing steel pipes, and using high quality concrete with recycled aggregate [17]. The characteristics of CFST are that the steel material is located far from the central axis so the rigidity of the column is very large, and thus it also contributes to increasing the moment of inertia of the structure [5,18]. The ideal form of concrete core works against the compressive load and hinders the local buckling state of the steel pipe. Therefore, the CFST structures are often used in locations subject to large compressive loads [9,15,19]. The CFST columns are mainly divided into square columns, round columns, and rectangular columns, based on different cross-sectional forms [15]. In particular, the square and rectangular CFST columns have the advantage of easy connection and reliable work with other structural members such as beams, walls, and panels [20]. Compared with square CFST columns, rectangular columns have irregular bending stiffness along different axes, so this type of column is suitable for the mechanical behavior of members including arch ribs, pillars, abutments, and piers, and other structural members under load actions vary greatly from vertical to horizontal [6]. Because the scope of application of rectangular CFST columns is quite wide and this column is mainly subjected to compression, the main purpose of the paper is to analyze and evaluate the ultimate bearing capacity of...

“…It is worth noticing that such a rate of testing/training was recommended in the literature when developing ML-based models [13][14][15][16][17]. On the other hand, in order to reduce fluctuations within the dataset in training the ML model, as the variables have different ranges of values, all variables were scaled into the range of [0, 1] in order to avoid an unexpected jump in optimizing weight parameters of the models [13,[18][19][20]. The scaling process of a variable x is expressed by Equation (1), and it involves two parameters, α and β, as indicated in Table 1.…”

Machine Learning (ML) has been applied widely in solving a lot of real-world problems. However, this approach is very sensitive to the selection of input variables for modeling and simulation. In this study, the main objective is to analyze the sensitivity of an advanced ML method, namely the Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) algorithm under different feature selection scenarios for prediction of shear strength of soil. Feature backward elimination supported by Monte Carlo simulations was applied to evaluate the importance of factors used for the modeling. A database constructed from 538 samples collected from Long Phu 1 power plant project was used for analysis. Well-known statistical indicators, such as the correlation coefficient (R), root mean squared error (RMSE), and mean absolute error (MAE), were utilized to evaluate the performance of the ELM algorithm. In each elimination step, the majority vote based on six elimination indicators was selected to decide the variable to be excluded. A number of 30,000 simulations were conducted to find out the most relevant variables in predicting the shear strength of soil using ELM. The results show that the performance of ELM is good but very different under different combinations of input factors. The moisture content, liquid limit, and plastic limit were found as the most critical variables for the prediction of shear strength of soil using the ML model. Sustainability 2020, 12, 2339 2 of 29 the laboratory, including direct shear test, triaxial compression tests, or unconfined compression tests which might increase the cost and prolong the time of completing the projects. Moreover, the test accuracy depends significantly on the instruments, the meticulous procedures, and the expertise of the experimenters [1]. Therefore, the development of new advanced techniques for quick and accurate prediction of shear strength of soil is essential and practical.Traditionally, the shear strength of soil is often predicted by using traditional formula-based methods. Garven and Vanapalli [2] summarized and evaluated nineteen empirical techniques that are available for the prediction of the shear strength of unsaturated soils. Out of these, six techniques used tool of the soil-water retention curve (SWRC) and the remainder thirteen procedures are based on mathematical formulations. In these empirical techniques, various parameters of soil were used to correlate with the shear strength in unsaturated soils such as the texture of soil surface, pore size distribution, residual suction. In another study, Sheng et al. [3] proposed different empirical equations for the prediction of shear strength of unsaturated soils using different approaches, which are based on the independent stress, Bishop's stress, and constitutive models. Vanapalli and Fredlund [4] compared different empirical approaches for the prediction of shear strength of unsaturated soils. Various parameters used for forming the correlation equations such as particle gain distribution, liquid limit, plasticity indices, water con...
