Use of manufactured sand to replace natural sand is increasing in the last several decades. This study is devoted to the assessment of using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) together with Teaching-Learning-Based Optimization (TLBO) for enhancing the prediction accuracy of individual Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) in predicting the compressive strength of manufactured sand concrete (MSC). The PCA technique was applied for reducing the noise in the input space, whereas, TLBO was employed to increase the prediction performance of single ANFIS model in searching the optimal weights of input parameters. A number of 289 configurations of MSC were used for the simulation, especially including the sand characteristics and the MSC long-term compressive strength. Using various validation criteria such as Correlation Coefficient (R), Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), and Mean Absolute Error (MAE), the proposed method was validated and compared with several models, including individual ANFIS, Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and existing empirical equations. The results showed that the proposed model exhibited great prediction capability compared with other models. Thus, it appeared as a robust alternative computing tool or an efficient soft computing technique for quick and accurate prediction of the MSC compressive strength.

Abstract In India, the first confirmed case of novel corona virus (COVID-19) was discovered on 30 January, 2020. The number of confirmed cases is increasing day by day and it crossed 21,53,010 on 09 August, 2020. In this paper a hybrid forecasting model has been proposed to determine the number of confirmed cases for upcoming 10 days based on the earlier confirmed cases found in India. The proposed modelis based on adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and mutation based Bees Algorithm (mBA). ThemetaheuristicBees Algorithm (BA) has been modified applying 4 types of mutation and Mutation based Bees Algorithm (mBA) is applied to enhance the performance of ANFIS by optimizing its parameters. Proposed mBA-ANFIS model has been assessed using COVID-19 outbreak dataset for India and USAand the number of confirmed cases in next 10 days in Indiahas been forecasted. Proposed mBA-ANFIS model has been compared to standard ANFIS model as well as other hybrid models such as GA-ANFIS, DE-ANFIS, HS-ANFIS, TLBO-ANFIS, FF-ANFIS, PSO-ANFIS and BA-ANFIS. All these models have been implemented using Matlab 2015 with 10 iterations each. Experimental results showthat the proposed model has achieved better performance in terms of Root Mean squared error (RMSE), Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE), Mean absolute error (MAE) and Normalized Root Mean Square Error (NRMSE).It has obtained RMSE of 1280.24, MAE of 685.68, MAPE of 6.24 and NRMSE of 0.000673 for India Data.Similarly, for USA the values are 4468.72, 3082.07, 6.1, 0.000952 for RMSE, MAE, MAPE, NRMSE respectively.

Sea level prediction is essential for the design of coastal structures and harbor operations. This study presents a methodology to predict sea level changes using sea level height and meteorological factor observations at a tide gauge in Antalya Harbor, Turkey. To this end, two different scenarios were established to explore the most feasible input combinations for sea level prediction. These scenarios use lagged sea level observations (SC1), and both lagged sea level and meteorological factor observations (SC2) as the input for predictive modeling. Cross-correlation analysis was conducted to determine the optimum input combination for each scenario. Then, several predictive models were developed using linear regressions (MLR) and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) techniques. The performance of the developed models was evaluated in terms of root mean squared error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), scatter index (SI), and Nash Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE) indices. The results showed that adding meteorological factors as input parameters increases the performance accuracy of the MLR models up to 33% for short-term sea level predictions. Moreover, the results contributed a more precise understanding that ANFIS is superior to MLR for sea level prediction using SC1- and SC2-based input combinations.

The adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) model was developed to predict the removal of ammonium () from wastewater. The ANFIS model was developed and validated with a data set from a pilot-scale of adsorption system treating aqueous solutions and wastewater from fish farms. The data sets consist of four parameters, which include pH, temperature, an initial concentration of ammonium and amount of adsorbent. The adsorbent was biochar obtained from rice straw. The ANFIS models performance was assessed through the root mean absolute error (RMSE) and was validated by testing data. The results of the study show that the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) is able to predict the percentage of ammonium removal from adsorption column according to the input variables with acceptable accuracy, suggesting that the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system model is a valuable tool for estimating the quality of fish farms water. This model of ANFIS leads to cost reduction because prediction can be done without resorting to efforts that require cost and time.

The current pandemic of the new coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), or COVID-19, has received wide attention by scholars and researchers. The vast increase in infected people is a significant challenge for each country and the international community in general. The prediction and forecasting of the number of infected people (so-called confirmed cases) is a critical issue that helps in understanding the fast spread of COVID-19. Therefore, in this article, we present an improved version of the ANFIS (adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system) model to forecast the number of infected people in four countries, Italy, Iran, Korea, and the USA. The improved version of ANFIS is based on a new nature-inspired optimizer, called the marine predators algorithm (MPA). The MPA is utilized to optimize the ANFIS parameters, enhancing its forecasting performance. Official datasets of the four countries are used to evaluate the proposed MPA-ANFIS. Moreover, we compare MPA-ANFIS to several previous methods to evaluate its forecasting performance. Overall, the outcomes show that MPA-ANFIS outperforms all compared methods in almost all performance measures, such as Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE), Root Mean Squared Relative Error (RMSRE), and Coefficient of Determination( R 2 ). For instance, according to the results of the testing set, the R 2 of the proposed model is 96.48%, 98.59%, 98.74%, and 95.95% for Korea, Italy, Iran, and the USA, respectively. More so, the MAE is 60.31, 3951.94, 217.27, and 12,979, for Korea, Italy, Iran, and the USA, respectively.

The main objective of this study is to develop and compare hybrid Artificial Intelligence (AI) approaches, namely Adaptive Network-based Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) optimized by Genetic Algorithm (GAANFIS) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSOANFIS) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) for predicting the Marshall Stability (MS) of Stone Matrix Asphalt (SMA) materials. Other important properties of the SMA, namely Marshall Flow (MF) and Marshall Quotient (MQ) were also predicted using the best model found. With that goal, the SMA samples were fabricated in a local laboratory and used to generate datasets for the modeling. The considered input parameters were coarse and fine aggregates, bitumen content and cellulose. The predicted targets were Marshall Parameters such as MS, MF and MQ. Models performance assessment was evaluated thanks to criteria such as Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and correlation coefficient (R). A Monte Carlo approach with 1000 simulations was used to deduce the statistical results to assess the performance of the three proposed AI models. The results showed that the SVM is the best predictor regarding the converged statistical criteria and probability density functions of RMSE, MAE and R. The results of this study represent a contribution towards the selection of a suitable AI approach to quickly and accurately determine the Marshall Parameters of SMA mixtures.

Abstract The compressive strength of concrete confined with spiral stirrups was an important parameter to evaluate the load-bearing capacity of concrete columns. The confinement provided by spiral stirrups let concrete under the triaxial compression state and improved the compressive strength of concrete. However, the relationships between concrete and stirrups were complex and the existing prediction models for evaluating the compressive strength of confined concrete were various. In this paper, an adaptive neural-fazzy inferenxe system (ANFIS) model was developed to evaluate the compressive strength of concrete confined with stirrups. A set of 231 experimental results of concrete confined with spiral stirrups were collected from the previous studies to establish a reliable database. The investigated parameters included the aspect ratio of specimens, the diameter, spacing, yield strength, and volumetric ratio of stirrups, the ratio of longitudinal reinforcement, and the compressive strength of concrete. The results showed that the ANFIS model predicted the compressive strength of confined concrete accurately. By comparing with existing models, the proposed ANFIS model had high applicable and reliability. The effects of the investigated parameters on the compressive strength of concrete were analyzed based on the proposed ANFIS model.

Abstract Accurateness in flood prediction is of utmost significance for mitigating catastrophes caused by flood events. Flooding leads to severe civic and financial damage, particularly in large river basins, and mainly affects the downstream regions of a river bed. Artificial Intelligence (AI) models have been effectively utilized as a tool for modeling numerous nonlinear relationships and is suitable to model complex hydrological systems. Therefore, the main purpose of this research is to propose an effective hybrid system by integrating an Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) model with meta-heuristic Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO) and Grasshopper Optimization Algorithm (GOA) for flood prediction in River Mahanadi, India. Robustness of proposed meta-heurestics are assessed by comparing with a conventional ANFIS model focusing on various input combinations considering 50 years of monthly historical flood discharge data. The potential of the AI models is evaluated and compared with observed data in both training and validation sets based on three statistical performance evaluation factors, namely root mean squared error (RMSE), mean squared error (MSE) and Wilmott Index (WI). Results reveal that robust ANFIS-GOA outperforms standalone AI techniques and can make superior flood forecasting for all input scenarios.

Evapotranspiration (ET) estimation is a primary problem for irrigation engineers and hydraulic designers because it is an important part of hydrologic cycle. Even it is non-negligible in hydraulic design calculations, it is not clear enough to estimate or calculate ET. There are some meteorological parameters which effect ET directly or indirectly such as Relative Humidity (RH), Solar Radiation (SR), Air Temperature (AT) and Wind Speed (U). In this study authors used Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) for prediction of ET and results are compared with Penman FAO 56 empirical formula. 1158 daily AT, SR, RH and U values are used to train ANFIS model and 385 daily values are used to test it. ANFIS model determination coefficient with daily observed ET values found as 0.909. Also test set values are used to calculate Penman FAO 56 formula and the determination coefficient of Penman FAO 56 with daily observed ET values found as 0.857. For the comparison of the ANFIS model and Penman FAO 56 formula results Mean Square Error (MSE) and Mean Absolute Error (MAE) are computed. According to the comparison it is understood that ANFIS model has better performance than Penman FAO 56 empirical formula for the prediction of daily ET.

In the current design codes, the effective compressive strength can be used to reflect decrease in load-transfer performance when upper/lower columns and slabs have different concrete compressive strengths. In this regard, this study proposed a method that can accurately estimate the effective compressive strengths by using an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). The ANFIS is an algorithm that introduces a learning system that corrects errors into a fuzzy theory and has widely been used to solve problems with complex mechanisms. In order to constitute the ANFIS algorithm, 50 data randomly extracted from 75 existing test datasets were used in training, and 25 were used for verification. It was found that analysis using the ANFIS model provides a more accurate evaluation of the effective compressive strengths of corner and edge columns than do the equations specified in the current design codes. In addition, parametric studies were performed using the ANFIS model, and a simplified equation for calculating the effective compressive strength was proposed, so that it can be easily used in practice.
