COVID-19 is a viral pandemic disease that spreads widely all around the world. The only way to identify COVID-19 patients at an early stage is to stop the spread of the virus. Different approaches are used to diagnose, such as RT-PCR, Chest X-rays, and CT images. However, these are time-consuming and require a specialized lab. Therefore, there is a need to develop a time-efficient diagnosis method to detect COVID-19 patients. The proposed machine learning (ML) approach predicts the presence of coronavirus based on clinical symptoms. The clinical dataset is collected from the Israeli Ministry of Health. We used different ML classifiers (i.e., XGB, DT, RF, and NB) to diagnose COVID-19. Later, classifiers are optimized with the Bayesian hyperparameter optimization approach to improve the performance. The optimized RF outperformed the others and achieved an accuracy of 97.62% on the testing data that help the early diagnosis of COVID-19 patients.

Here we aimed to classify the major coniferous tree species (Pinus densiflora, Pinus koraiensis, and Larix kaempferi) by tree measurement information and machine learning algorithms to establish an efficient forest management plan. We used national forest monitoring information amassed over nine years for the measurement information of trees, and random forest (RF), XGBoost (XGB), and light GBM (LGBM) as machine learning algorithms. We compared and evaluated the accuracy of the algorithm through performance evaluation using the accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score of the algorithm. The RF algorithm had the highest performance evaluation score for all tree species, and highest scores for Pinus densiflora, with an accuracy of about 65%, a precision of about 72%, a recall of about 60%, and an F1 score of about 66%. The classification accuracy for the dominant trees was higher than about 80% in the crown classes, but that of the co-dominant trees, the intermediate trees, and the overtopper trees was evaluated as low. We consider that the results of this study can be used as reference data for decision-making in the selection of thinning trees for forest management.

The adequate control of TBM face pressure is of vital importance to maintain face stability by preventing face collapse and surface settlement. An EPB shield TBM excavates the ground by applying face pressure with the excavated soil in the pressure chamber. One of the challenges during the EPB shield TBM operation is the control of face pressure due to difficulty in managing the excavated soil. In this study, the face pressure of an EPB shield TBM was predicted using the geological and operational data acquired from a domestic TBM tunnel site. Four machine learning algorithms: KNN (K-Nearest Neighbors), SVM (Support Vector Machine), RF (Random Forest), and XGB (eXtreme Gradient Boosting) were applied to predict the face pressure. The model comparison results showed that the RF model yielded the lowest RMSE (Root Mean Square Error) value of 7.35 kPa. Therefore, the RF model was selected as the optimal machine learning algorithm. In addition, the feature importance of the RF model was analyzed to evaluate appropriately the influence of each feature on the face pressure. The water pressure indicated the highest influence, and the importance of the geological conditions was higher in general than that of the operation features in the considered site.

In this study, we compared the performance of machine learning models for predicting Vapor Pressure Deficits (VPD) in greenhouses that affect pore function and photosynthesis as well as plant growth due to nutrient absorption of plants. For VPD prediction, the correlation between the environmental elements in and outside the greenhouse and the temporal elements of the time series data was confirmed, and how the highly correlated elements affect VPD was confirmed. Before analyzing the performance of the prediction model, the amount and interval of analysis time series data (1 day, 3 days, 7 days) and interval (20 minutes, 1 hour) were checked to adjust the amount and interval of data. Finally, four machine learning prediction models (XGB Regressor, LGBM Regressor, Random Forest Regressor, etc.) were applied to compare the prediction performance by model. As a result of the prediction of the model, when data of 1 day at 20 minute intervals were used, the highest prediction performance was 0.008 for MAE and 0.011 for RMSE in LGBM. In addition, it was confirmed that the factor that most influences VPD prediction after 20 minutes was VPD (VPD_y__71) from the past 20 minutes rather than environmental factors. Using the results of this study, it is possible to increase crop productivity through VPD prediction, condensation of greenhouses, and prevention of disease occurrence. In the future, it can be used not only in predicting environmental data of greenhouses, but also in various fields such as production prediction and smart farm control models.

강우에 의해 발생하는 비점오염물질의 수질 데이터가 충분하지 않아 비점오염원이 문제가 되고 있는 유역의 수질개선을 위한 대책마련이 어려운 실정이다. 기존에 환경부에서 운영하고 있는 자동측정망은 1시간 간격으로 데이터를 축적하고 있으나, 비점오염원이 문제가 되는 유역에 설치되어 있지 않거나 수온, DO, pH 등 현장항목만을 측정하고 있어 하천의 수질오염을 대표할 수 있는 T-P나 SS 등의 수질분석 항목의 부재하다. 이로인해 유역의 수질개선 대책을 수립하기 위한 오염원의 현황을 파악하기 어려운 실정이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 비점오염원관리지역 중 골지천 유역을 대상으로 수질항목별 상관성을 분석하고, 실측자료를 기반으로 DT, MLP, SVM, RF, GB, XGB 등의 머신러닝 기법을 통해 수질 예측 가능성을 연구하였다. 상관관계 분석결과 입력변수인 탁도 항목이 예측 수질과 뚜렷한 상관관계를 보이는 것으로 나타났으나, 그 외 항목에서는 약한 상관관계를 보이거나 상관관계가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 머신러닝 기법을 활용한 수질 예측 분석 결과, 검무교와 태봉2교, 제1여량교는 RF 기법에서 결정계수(R²) 0.57~0.86, RMSE 16.49~175.60으로 예측성이 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 관말교는 SVM 기법에서 R² 0.65, RMSE 57.69로, 송계교는 XGB 기법에서 R² 0.74, RMSE 282.86으로 가장 예측성이 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 분석결과와 같이 머신러닝 기법을 활용한 수질 예측은 가능하나, 예측성이 우수한 머신러닝 기법의 R² 비교 결과, 유역면적이 큰 제1여량교와 작은 관말교에서 0.57과 0.65로 다른 지점에 비해 낮은 것으로 나타났다. RMSE 비교 결과, 상류 산간지역에 발생한 국지성 호우의 영향으로 흙탕물이 가장 자주 발생하는 태봉2교 지점과 우선관리지역이 합류되는 송계교 지점에서 175.60과 282.86으로 예측값과 실측값의 오차가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 연구결과와 같이 하천 수질을 예측하기 위해서는 유역면적 혹은 유역특성과 관련한 기초자료를 추가로 적용하여 머신러닝 기법을 적용 해야할 것으로 판단된다. 또한, 본 연구에서 예측한 수질 항목 이외에 입력변수를 추가로 확보하여 수질의 예측 가능성을 검토해야 할 것으로 보여진다.

Recently, as the importance of environmental protection has emerged, interest in new and renewable energy is also increasing worldwide. In particular, the solar energy sector accounts for the highest production rate among new and renewable energy in Korea due to its infinite resources, easy installation and maintenance, and eco-friendly characteristics such as low noise emission levels and less pollutants during power generation. However, although climate prediction is essential since solar power is affected by weather and climate change, solar radiation, which is closely related to solar power, is not currently forecasted by the Korea Meteorological Administration. Solar radiation prediction can be the basis for establishing a reasonable new and renewable energy operation plan, and it is very important because it can be used not only in solar power but also in other fields such as power consumption prediction. Therefore, this study was conducted for the purpose of improving the accuracy of solar radiation. Solar radiation was predicted by a total of three weather variables, temperature, humidity, and cloudiness, and solar radiation outside the atmosphere, and the results were compared using various models. The CatBoost model was best obtained by fitting and comparing the Boosting series (XGB, CatBoost) and RNN series (Simple RNN, LSTM, GRU) models. In addition, the results were further improved through Time series cross-validation.

Purpose This study aims to understand the inclinations of young job seekers towards "hidden champions" - small but competitive companies that are emerging as potential solutions to the growing disparity between youth-targeted job vacancies and job seekers. We utilize machine learning techniques to discern the appeal of these hidden champions. Design/methodology/approach We examined the characteristics of small and medium-sized enterprises using data sourced from the Ministry of Employment and Labor and Youth Worknet. By comparing the efficacy of five machine learning classification models (i.e., Logistic Regression, Random Forest Classifier, Gradient Boosting Classifier, LGBM Classifier, and XGB Classifier), we discovered that the predictive model utilizing the LGBM Classifier yielded the most consistent performance. Findings Our analysis of the relative significance of preference determinants revealed that industry type, geographical location, and employee count are pivotal factors influencing preference. Drawing from these insights, we propose targeted strategic interventions for policymakers, hidden champions, and young job seekers.

The purpose of this study is to use machine learning to build a model capable of predicting the flash boiling spray characteristics. In this study, the flash boiling spray was visualized using Shadowgraph visualization technology, and then the spray image was processed with MATLAB to obtain quantitative data of spray characteristics. The experimental conditions were used as input, and the spray characteristics were used as output to train the machine learning model. For the machine learning model, the XGB (extreme gradient boosting) algorithm was used. Finally, the performance of machine learning model was evaluated using R² and RMSE (root mean square error). In order to have enough data to train the machine learning model, this study used 12 injectors with different design parameters, and set various fuel temperatures and ambient pressures, resulting in about 12,000 data. By comparing the performance of the model with different amounts of training data, it was found that the number of training data must reach at least 7,000 before the model can show optimal performance. The model showed different prediction performances for different spray characteristics. Compared with the upstream spray angle and the downstream spray angle, the model had the best prediction performance for the spray tip penetration. In addition, the prediction performance of the model showed a relatively poor trend in the initial stage of injection and the final stage of injection. The model performance is expired to be further enhanced by optimizing the hyper-parameters input into the model.

This study proposes a model for predicting contracted power using electric power data collected in real time from convenience stores nationwide. By optimizing the prediction model using machine learning, it will be possible to predict the contracted power required to renew the contract of the existing convenience store. Contracted power is predicted through the XGBoost regression model. For the learning of XGBoost model, the electric power data collected for 16 months through a real-time monitoring system for convenience stores nationwide were used. The hyperparameters of the XGBoost model were tuned using the GridesearchCV, and the main features of the prediction model were identified using the xgb.importance function. In addition, it was also confirmed whether the preprocessing method of missing values and outliers affects the prediction of reduced power. As a result of hyperparameter tuning, an optimal model with improved predictive performance was obtained. It was found that the features of power.2020.09, power.2021.02, area, and operating time had an effect on the prediction of contracted power. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the preprocessing policy of missing values and outliers did not affect the prediction result. The proposed XGBoost regression model showed high predictive performance for contract power. Even if the preprocessing method for missing values and outliers was changed, there was no significant difference in the prediction results through hyperparameters tuning.
