Air pollution not only damages the environment but also leads to various illnesses such as respiratory tract and cardiovascular diseases. Nowadays, estimating air pollutants concentration is becoming very important so that people can prepare themselves for the hazardous impact of air pollution beforehand. Various deterministic models have been used to forecast air pollution. In this study, along with various pollutants and meteorological parameters, we also use the concentration of the pollutants predicted by the community multiscale air quality (CMAQ) model which are strongly related to PM 2.5 concentration. After combining these parameters, we implement various machine learning models to predict the hourly forecast of PM 2.5 concentration in two big cities of South Korea and compare their results. It has been shown that Long Short Term Memory network outperforms other well-known gradient tree boosting models, recurrent, and convolutional neural networks.

As an important condition for fatigue analysis and life prediction, load spectrum is widely used in various engineering fields. The extrapolation of load samples is an important step in compiling load spectrum. It is of great significance to select an appropriate load extrapolation method. This paper proposes a load extrapolation method based on long short-term memory (LSTM) network, introduces the basic principle of the extrapolation method, and applies the method to the data set collected under the working state of 5MN metal extruder. The comparison between the extrapolated load data and the actual load shows that the trend of the extrapolated load data is basically consistent with the original tendency. In addition, this method is compared with the rain flow extrapolation method based on statistical distribution. Through the comparison of the short-term load spectrum compiled by the two extrapolation methods, it is found that the load spectrum extrapolation method based on LSTM network can better realize load prediction and optimize the compilation of load spectrum.

In recent decades, landslide displacement forecasting has received increasing attention due to its ability to reduce landslide hazards. To improve the forecast accuracy of landslide displacement, a dynamic forecasting model based on variational mode decomposition (VMD) and a stack long short-term memory network (SLSTM) is proposed. VMD is used to decompose landslide displacement into different displacement subsequences, and the SLSTM network is used to forecast each displacement subsequence. Then, the forecast values of landslide displacement are obtained by reconstructing the forecast values of all displacement subsequences. On the other hand, the SLSTM networks are updated by adding the forecast values into the training set, realizing the dynamic displacement forecasting. The proposed model was verified on the Dashuitian landslide in China. The results show that compared with the two advanced forecasting models, long short-term memory (LSTM) network, and empirical mode decomposition (EMD)–LSTM network, the proposed model has higher forecast accuracy.

In order for the detection ability of floating small targets in sea clutter to be improved, on the basis of the complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition (CEEMD) algorithm, the high-frequency parts and low-frequency parts are determined by the energy proportion of the intrinsic mode function (IMF); the high-frequency part is denoised by wavelet packet transform (WPT), whereas the denoised high-frequency IMFs and low-frequency IMFs reconstruct the pure sea clutter signal together. According to the chaotic characteristics of sea clutter, we proposed an adaptive training timesteps strategy. The training timesteps of network were determined by the width of embedded window, and the chaotic long short-term memory network detection was designed. The sea clutter signals after denoising were predicted by chaotic long short-term memory (LSTM) network, and small target signals were detected from the prediction errors. The experimental results showed that the CEEMD-WPT algorithm was consistent with the target distribution characteristics of sea clutter, and the denoising performance was improved by 33.6% on average. The proposed chaotic long- and short-term memory network, which determines the training step length according to the width of embedded window, is a new detection method that can accurately detect small targets submerged in the background of sea clutter.
