Flexural Member

The shear and bending are the actions that are experienced in the beam owing to the fact that the beam is a flexural member due to the load in the transverse direction to their longitudinal axis. The shear strength (Vs) computation of reinforced concrete (RC) beams has been a major topic in the field of structural engineering. There have been several methodologies introduced for the Vs prediction; however, the modeling accuracy is relatively low owing to the complex characteristic of the resistance mechanism involving dowel effect of longitudinal reinforcement, concrete in the compression zone, contribution of the stirrups if existed, and the aggregate interlock. Hence, the current research proposed a new soft computing model called random forest (RF) to predict Vs. Experimental datasets were collected from the open-source literature including the related geometric properties and concrete characteristics of beam specimens. Nine input combinations were constructed based on the statistical correlation to be supplied for the proposed predictive model. The prediction accuracy of the RF model was validated against the Support Vector Machine (SVM), and several other empirical formulations have been adopted in the literature. The proposed RF model revealed better prediction accuracy in addition the model structure emphasis in the incorporation of seven predictors by excluding (beam flange thickness and coefficient). In the quantitative term, the minimal root mean square error value was attained (RMSE = 89.68 kN).

AbstractThe importance of spatiotemporal feature selection in fMRI decoding studies has not been studied exhaustively. Temporal embedding of features allows the incorporation of brain activity dynamics into multivariate pattern classification, and may provide enriched information about stimulus-specific response patterns and potentially improve prediction accuracy. This study investigates the possibility of enhancing the classification performance by exploring spatial and temporal (spatiotemporal) domain, to identify the optimum combination of the spatiotemporal features based on the classification performance. We investigated the importance of spatiotemporal feature selection using a slow event-related design adapted from the classic Haxby et al. (2001) study. Data were collected using a multiband fMRI sequence with temporal resolution of 0.568 seconds. A wide range of spatiotemporal observations was created as various combinations of spatiotemporal features. Using both random forest, and support vector machine, classifiers, prediction accuracies for these combinations were then compared with the single time-point spatial multivariate pattern approach that uses only a single temporal observation. The results showed that on average spatiotemporal feature selection improved prediction accuracy. Moreover, the random forest algorithm outperformed the support vector machine and benefitted from temporal information to a greater extent. As expected, the most influential temporal durations were found to be around the peak of the hemodynamic response function, a few seconds after the stimuli onset until ∼4 seconds after the peak of the hemodynamic response function. The superiority of spatiotemporal feature selection over single time-point spatial approaches invites future work to design systematic and optimal approaches to the incorporation of spatiotemporal dependencies into feature selection for decoding.HighlightsSpatiotemporal feature selection effect on MVPC was assessed in slow event-related fMRISpatiotemporal feature selection improved brain decoding accuracyFrom ∼2-11 seconds after stimuli onset were the most informative part of each trialRandom forest outperformed support vector machinesRandom forest benefited more from temporal changes compared with support vector machine

SVM (Support Vector Machine) is a powerful data mining algorithm, and is mainly used to finish classification or regression tasks. In this literature, SVM is used to conduct disease prediction. We focus on integrating with stratified sample and grid search technology to improve the classification accuracy of SVM, thus, we propose an improved algorithm named SGSVM: Stratified sample and Grid search based SVM. To testify the performance of SGSVM, heart-disease data from UCI are used in our experiment, and the results show SGSVM has obvious improvement in classification accuracy, and this is very valuable especially in disease prediction.

AbstractSelection of markers linked to alleles at quantitative trait loci (QTL) for tolerance to Iron Deficiency Chlorosis (IDC) has not been successful. Genomic selection has been advocated for continuous numeric traits such as yield and plant height. For ordinal data types such as IDC, genomic prediction models have not been systematically compared. The objectives of research reported in this manuscript were to evaluate the most commonly used genomic prediction method, ridge regression and it’s equivalent logistic ridge regression method, with algorithmic modeling methods including random forest, gradient boosting, support vector machine, K-nearest neighbors, Naïve Bayes, and artificial neural network using the usual comparator metric of prediction accuracy. In addition we compared the methods using metrics of greater importance for decisions about selecting and culling lines for use in variety development and genetic improvement projects. These metrics include specificity, sensitivity, precision, decision accuracy, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve. We found that Support Vector Machine provided the best specificity for culling IDC susceptible lines, while Random Forest GP models provided the best combined set of decision metrics for retaining IDC tolerant and culling IDC susceptible lines.

Soil Shear Strength

Background: Shear strength of soil, the magnitude of shear stress that a soil can maintain, is an important factor in geotechnical engineering. Objective: The main objective of this study is dedicated to the development of a machine learning algorithm, namely Support Vector Machine (SVM) to predict the shear strength of soil based on 6 input variables such as clay content, moisture content, specific gravity, void ratio, liquid limit and plastic limit. Methods: An important number of experimental measurements, including more than 500 samples was gathered from the Long Phu 1 power plant project’s technical reports. The accuracy of the proposed SVM was evaluated using statistical indicators such as the coefficient of correlation (R), Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE) over a number of 200 simulations taking into account the random sampling effect. Finally, the most accurate SVM model was used to interpret the prediction results due to Partial Dependence Plots (PDP). Results: Validation results showed that SVM model performed well for prediction of soil shear strength (R = 0.9 to 0.95), and the moisture content, liquid limit and plastic limit were found as the three most affecting features to the prediction of soil shear strength. Conclusion: This study might help in quick and accurate prediction of soil shear strength for practical purposes in civil engineering.
