The properties of soil are naturally highly variable and thus, to ensure proper safety and reliability, we need to test a large number of samples across the length and depth. In pile foundations, conducting field tests are highly expensive and the traditional empirical relations too have been proven to be poor in performance. The study proposes a state-of-art Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) hybridized Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) and Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS); and comparative analysis of metaheuristic models (ANN-PSO, ELM-PSO, ANFIS-PSO) for prediction of bearing capacity of pile foundation trained and tested on dataset of nearly 300 dynamic pile tests from the literature. A novel ensemble model of three hybrid models is constructed to combine and enhance the predictions of the individual models effectively. The authenticity of the dataset is confirmed using descriptive statistics, correlation matrix and sensitivity analysis. Ram weight and diameter of pile are found to be most influential input parameter. The comparative analysis reveals that ANFIS-PSO is the best performing model in testing phase (R² = 0.85, RMSE = 0.01) while ELM-PSO performs best in training phase (R² = 0.88, RMSE = 0.08); while the ensemble provided overall best performance based on the rank score. The performance of ANN-PSO is least satisfactory compared to the other two models. The findings were confirmed using Taylor diagram, error matrix and uncertainty analysis. Based on the results ELM-PSO and ANFIS-PSO is proposed to be used for the prediction of bearing capacity of piles and ensemble learning method of joining the outputs of individual models should be encouraged. The study possesses the potential to assist geotechnical engineers in the design phase of civil engineering projects.

The dynamical model forecasts using state-of-art general circulation models (GCMs) have some limitations to simulate the real climate system since they do not depend on the past history. One of the alternative methods to correct model errors is to use the canonical correlation analysis (CCA) correction method. CCA forecasts at the present time show better skill than dynamical model forecasts especially over the midlatitudes. Model outputs are adjusted based on the CCA modes between the model forecasts and the observations. This study builds a canonical correlation prediction model for subseasonal (June) precipitation. The predictors are circulation fields over western North Pacific from the Global Seasonal Forecasting System version 5 (GloSea5) and observed snow cover extent over Eurasia continent from Climate Data Record (CDR). The former is based on simultaneous teleconnection between the western North Pacific and the East Asia, and the latter on lagged teleconnection between the Eurasia continent and the East Asia. In addition, we suggest a technique for improving forecast skill by applying the ensemble canonical correlation (ECC) to individual canonical correlation predictions.

미국의 경우 1994년 발생한 대홍수(Great Flood)에 대해 사건조사를 수행하면서 예측에 포함되는 불확실성 정도를 제공하지 못하는 확정적 예측의 위험성 및 확률유량예측에 대한 필요성이 부각되었으며, 앙상블 유량예측(Ensemble Streamflow Prediction, ESP) 기법을 활용한 확률유량예측 방안에 대해 지속적으로 연구가 수행되고 있다. 국내에서도 확률예측에 대한 필요성이 인식되면서 기존 국외 연구사례를 토대로 국내 환경에 적용 가능한 방안에 대한 연구가 진행되었으며, 중장기 앙상블 유량예측의 경우 현업에서 다양한 형태로 활용되고 있다. 앙상블 유량예측의 기본이론은 예측시점의 초기조건 하에서 예측기간에 발생 가능한 기상 앙상블 시나리오를 수문모형의 입력자료로 사용하여 불확실성 범위를 설명 가능한 유량 앙상블을 모의하는 기법이다. 이러한 이론적 단순함 때문에 쉽게 현업의 유량예측 시스템 내에서 사용할 수 있다는 장점이 있으나, 동시에 기법적 특성으로 인하여 유량예측의 신뢰도가 현업에서 활용되기 어려울 정도로 낮아지는 관계로, 이러한 한계점을 극복하기 위해 그동안 기상자료 및 수문모형으로 인한 불확실성 저감에 대한 연구가 수행되었다. 하지만 예측 및 시나리오 기간의 잘못된 설정으로 기존의 불확실성 저감을 위한 연구의 적용에도 불구하고 앙상블 유량예측의 신뢰도가 오히려 낮아질 수 있으므로, 본 연구는 시나리오 기간에 따른 오차의 양상과 예측기간의 증가에 따른 초기조건의 영향을 분석하여 앙상블 유량예측의 기법적 특성 하에서 신뢰도 높은 예측을 기대할 수 있는 예측 및 시나리오 기간을 제안하였다.

The sunspot area is a critical physical quantity for assessing the solar activity level; forecasts of the sunspot area are of great importance for studies of the solar activity and space weather. We developed an innovative hybrid model prediction method by integrating the complementary ensemble empirical mode decomposition (CEEMD) and extreme learning machine (ELM). The time series is first decomposed into intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) with different frequencies by CEEMD; these IMFs can be divided into three groups, a high-frequency group, a low-frequency group, and a trend group. The ELM forecasting models are established to forecast the three groups separately. The final forecast results are obtained by summing up the forecast values of each group. The proposed hybrid model is applied to the smoothed monthly mean sunspot area archived at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC). We find a mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) and a root mean square error (RMSE) of 1.80% and 9.75, respectively, which indicates that: (1) for the CEEMD-ELM model, the predicted sunspot area is in good agreement with the observed one; (2) the proposed model outperforms previous approaches in terms of prediction accuracy and operational efficiency.

우리나라에선 크고 작은 가뭄 피해가 자주 일어나고 있으며 최근엔 유래 없는 다년가뭄이 발생하면서 가뭄에 대한 경각심이 커지고 있다. 가뭄에 적절하게 대응하여 피해를 경감시키기 위해서는 신뢰도 높은 가뭄 예측이 선행되어야 한다. 이에 본 연구는 앙상블 예측과 베이즈이론(Bayes' theorem)을 수문학적 가뭄지수 중 하나인 SRI(Standardized Runoff Index)에 적용해 가뭄 확률 전망을 실시했으며 이를 EDP(Ensemble Drought Prediction)라고 칭하였다. 국내 8개 댐유역에서 EDP를 생성하고 개선하는 과정은 다음과 같이 진행된다. 우선 TANK모형을 활용한 1개월 선행 유량 예측(Ensemble Streamflow Prediction, ESP)의 결과를 SRI로 변환하여 EDP 확률분포를 생성한다. 그런 다음, EDP를 개선하기 위해 그 기초인 ESP에서 미흡한 토양수분 초기조건을 보완하고자 베이즈이론을 활용했다. APCC(APEC Climate Center)의 위성 관측 SMI(Soil Moisture Index) 자료로 SRI와의 회귀식을 구축, 이를 우도함수로 정의해 사전 EDP 분포를 업데이트한 EDP+ 확률분포를 생성했다. 그 결과, EDP와 EDP+ 모두 심도가 깊은 가뭄을 전망할수록 예측력이 기후학적 예측보다 좋지 않았다. 그럼에도 우도함수로 사용한 회귀식의 정확도가 높을수록 EDP+의 정확도도 향상되는 경향이 나타났으며, 이는 베이즈이론을 사용한다면 가뭄 확률 전망을 개선할 수 있다는 것을 의미하고 있다. 하지만, 확정 전망 정확도는 확률 전망 정확도와는 관계가 없었는데 이는 확정 전망과 확률 전망이 본질적으로 다르기 때문인 것으로 사료된다.

A Kalman filter algorithm is used for the generation of an ensemble timescale with three hydrogen masers maintained in KRISS. Allan deviation curves of three pairs of clocks were obtained by a three-cornered hat method and were used as reference curves for determination of parameters of the Kalman filter-based timescale. The ensemble timescale equation of a 3-clock system was established, and the clocks' phases estimated by the Kalman filter were used as the prediction time of each clock in the equation. The weight of each clock was determined inversely proportional to the Allan variance calculated with the clocks' phases. The Allan deviation of the weighted mean was 1.2×10^-16 at the averaging time of 57,600 s. However when we made fine adjustments of the clocks' weight, the minimum Allan deviation of 2×10^-17 was obtained. To find out the reason of the great improvement in the frequency stability, additional researches are in progress theoretically and experimentally.

기존 수자원계획에 있어서 수문량 예측은 매우 제한적으로 활용되고 있는 실정으로서 최근 기후변화 및 이상기후로 기인하는 기상학적 불확실성 증가에 대해서 효과적으로 대응 하기가 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 기상인자를 활용한 수문변량 예측기법을 개발하고자 하며 국내에 수문자료가 충분한 지역에 대해서 모형의 적합성과 타당성을 평가하고자 한다. 대부분의 수문변량은 해수면온도, 해수면기압, 바람장 등 Large Scale의 기상학적 특성과 연관성을 가지고 있으며 선행시간을 가지고 수문순환에 영향을 주고 있다. 수문변량과 기상학적 변량사이에는 일반적으로 비선형 관계를 가지고 있는 것으로 알려지고 있으며 이러한 비선형 관계를 효과적으로 예측하기 위해서 본 연구에서는 비선형 예측모형을 개발 하고자 한다. 최근 비선형 예측모형에서 불확실성을 고려한 모형에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있으며 특히, 다중 모형을 사용한 Ensemble 개념의 예측모형 도입이 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 국내 다목적댐 유입량 및 강수량에 대해서 최적 기상변량을 도출하고 이를 활용한 비선형 Ensemble 예측모형을 개발하였다. 일반적인 선형 회귀분석 모형에 비해 기상현상과 수문현상에 비선형성을 효과적으로 재현할 수 있는 장점을 확인할 수 있었으며 이와 더불어 예측결과에 대한 불확실성을 제공함으로서 신뢰성 있는 수자원 계획을 위한 기초자료로서 활용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

The seismic safety of the shear wall structure can be assessed through seismic fragility analysis, which requires high computational costs in estimating seismic demands. Accordingly, machine learning methods have been applied to such fragility analyses in recent years to reduce the numerical analysis cost, but it still remains a challenging task. Therefore, this study uses the ensemble machine learning method to present an improved framework for developing a more accurate seismic demand model than the existing ones. To this end, a rank-based selection method that enables determining an excellent model among several single machine learning models is presented. In addition, an index that can evaluate the degree of overfitting/underfitting of each model for the selection of an excellent single model is suggested. Furthermore, based on the selected single machine learning model, we propose a method to derive a more accurate ensemble model based on the bagging method. As a result, the seismic demand model for which the proposed framework is applied shows about 3-17% better prediction performance than the existing single machine learning models. Finally, the seismic fragility obtained from the proposed framework shows better accuracy than the existing fragility methods.

The development of microarray technology has supplied a large volume of data to many fields. In particular, it has been applied to prediction and diagnosis of cancer, so that it expectedly helps us to exactly predict and diagnose cancer. It is essential to efficiently analyze DNA microarray data because the amount of DNA microarray data is usually very large. Since accurate classification of cancer is very important issue for treatment of cancer, it is desirable to make a decision by combining the results of various expert classifiers rather than by depending on the result of only one classifier. Generally combining classifiers gives high performance and high confidence. In spite of many advantages of ensemble classifiers, ensemble with mutually error-correlated classifiers has a limit in the performance. In this paper, we propose the ensemble of neural network classifiers learned from negatively correlated features using three benchmark datasets to precisely classify cancer, and systematically evaluate the performances of the proposed method. Experimental results show that the ensemble classifier with negatively correlated features produces the best recognition rate on the three benchmark datasets.

The purpose of this study is to introduce the improvement of current operational climate prediction system of KMA and to compare previous and improved that. Whereas the previous system is based on GloSea5GA3, the improved one is built on GloSea5GC2. GloSea5GC2 is a fully coupled global climate model with an atmosphere, ocean, sea-ice and land components through the coupler OASIS. This is comprised of component configurations Global Atmosphere 6.0 (GA6.0), Global Land 6.0 (GL6.0), Global Ocean 5.0 (GO5.0) and Global Sea Ice 6.0 (GSI6.0). The compositions have improved sea-ice parameters over the previous model. The model resolution is N216L85 (~60 km in mid-latitudes) in the atmosphere and ORCA0.25L75 ($0.25^{\circ}$ on a tri-polar grid) in the ocean. In this research, the predictability of each system is evaluated using by RMSE, Correlation and MSSS, and the variables are 500 hPa geopotential height (h500), 850 hPa temperature (t850) and Sea surface temperature (SST). A predictive performance shows that GloSea5GC2 is better than GloSea5GA3. For example, the RMSE of h500 of 1-month forecast is decreased from 23.89 gpm to 22.21 gpm in East Asia. For Nino3.4 area of SST, the improvements to GloSeaGC2 result in a decrease in RMSE, which become apparent over time. It can be concluded that GloSea5GC2 has a great performance for seasonal prediction.
