Concrete workability, quantified by concrete slump, is an important property of a concrete mixture. Concrete slump is generally known to affect the consistency, flowability, pumpability, compactibility, and harshness of a concrete mix. Hence, an accurate prediction of this property is a practical need of construction engineers. This research proposes a machine learning model for predicting concrete slump based on the Least Squares Support Vector Regression (LS-SVR). LS-SVR is employed to model the nonlinear mapping between the mix components and slump values. Since the learning process of the LS-SVR necessitates two hyperparameters, the regularization and the kernel parameters, the grid search method is employed search for the most desirable set of hyperparameters. Furthermore, to construct the hybrid model, this research collected a dataset including actual concrete slump tests from a hydroelectric dam construction project in Vietnam. Experimental results show that the proposed model is capable of predicting concrete slump accurately.

Power Forecasting

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the short-term wind power forecasting. STWPF is a typically complex issue, because it is affected by many factors such as wind speed, wind direction, and humidity. This paper attempts to provide a reference strategy for STWPF and to solve the problems in existence. The two main contributions of this paper are as follows. (1) In data preprocessing, each encountered problem of employed real data such as irrelevant, outliers, missing value, and noisy data has been taken into account, the corresponding reasonable processing has been given, and the input variable selection and order estimation are investigated by Partial least squares technique. (2) STWPF is investigated by multiscale support vector regression (SVR) technique, and the parameters associated with SVR are optimized based on Grid-search method. In order to investigate the performance of proposed strategy, forecasting results comparison between two different forecasting models, multiscale SVR and multilayer perceptron neural network applied for power forecasts, are presented. In addition, the error evaluation demonstrates that the multiscale SVR is a robust, precise, and effective approach.

Computer color matching can improve production efficiency and reduce costs in color spun. However, in practice the computer color matching success rate for pre-colored fiber blends has not been good, leading to customers being unsatisfied with the accuracy of the color matching results. Aiming to improve the accuracy, a hybrid of least squares and grid search method has been proposed for spectrophotometric color matching of pre-colored fiber blend based on the improved Kubelka–Munk (K-M) double-constant theory. Two-primary, three-primary, four-primary, and five-primary pre-colored cotton fiber blends were prepared as standard samples to evaluate the color matching accuracy of the proposed method. Compared with the least squares method and the grid search method, the proposed method achieved better color matching effects and greatly shortened the calculation time, respectively. For 42 pre-colored fiber blends, the average color difference between the predicted results obtained by the proposed method, least squares method, and grid search method and the spectrophotometer measurements were respectively 0.29, 0.53, and 0.36 CIE2000 units. The experimental results indicated that the proposed method could predict the formulation of standard samples quickly and effectively, and that it was superior to other methods in providing satisfactory color matching results for the enterprises.

In this paper, a method that uses a ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and the adaptive particle swarm support vector machine (SVM) method is proposed for detecting and recognizing hidden layer defects in highways. Three common road features, namely cracks, voids, and subsidence, were collected using ground-penetrating imaging. Image segmentation was performed on acquired images. Original features were extracted from thresholded binary images and were compressed using the kl algorithm. The SVM classification algorithm was used for condition classification. For parameter optimization of the SVM algorithm, the grid search method and particle swarm optimization algorithm were used. The recognition rate using the grid search method was 88.333%; the PSO approach often yielded local maxima, and the recognition rate was 86.667%; the improved adaptive PSO algorithm avoided local maxima and increased the recognition rate to 91.667%.

The number of air transportation passengers in Central Sulawesi shows an increase and decrease every month. For this reason, a forecasting method is needed to predict the number of air transportation passengers in the future. Because the pattern of data on the number of air transportation passengers in Central Sulawesi Province has a nonlinear data pattern, a forecasting method is needed that can overcome these problems where in this study using the SVR model. In this study, the SVR model uses the RBF kernel function to overcome nonlinear data patterns and uses the grid search method to obtain the optimal parameters of the model.

Mixed Noise

In this article, it was observed that the noise in some real-world applications, such as wind power forecasting and direction of the arrival estimation problem, does not satisfy the single noise distribution, including Gaussian distribution and Laplace distribution, but the mixed distribution. Therefore, combining the twin hyperplanes with the fast speed of Least Squares Support Vector Regression (LS-SVR), and then introducing the Gauss–Laplace mixed noise feature, a new regressor, called Gauss-Laplace Twin Least Squares Support Vector Regression (GL-TLSSVR), for the complex noise. Subsequently, we apply the augmented Lagrangian multiplier method to solve the proposed model. Finally, we apply the short-term wind speed data-set to the proposed model. The results of this experiment confirm the effectiveness of our proposed model.

In previous work, we reconstructed the depth image of fabric based on the method of Depth from Focus (DFF) and segmented pills and fuzz from fabric background. Work in this paper was performed using the segmented image. Here, we demonstrate the prediction operation of the pilling evaluation using a large set of fabric samples. The support vector machine (SVM) was applied to build the classifier machine by learning from existing data. The grid search method was used to select the optimal parameter values. The study found that the best prediction accuracy can reach 90.75%, indicating the extracted pilling features from depth image can predict the pilling grade well.
