The Impact

The main goal of this study is to evaluate the impact of restrictive measures introduced in connection with COVID-19 on consumption in renewable energy markets. The study will be based on the hypothesis that similar changes in human behavior can be expected in the future with the further spread of COVID-19 and/or the introduction of additional quarantine measures around the world. The analysis also yielded additional results. The strongest reductions in energy generation occurred in countries with a high percentage (more than 80%) of urban population (Brazil, USA, the United Kingdom and Germany). This study uses two models created with the Keras Long Short-Term Memory (Keras LSTM) Model, and 76 and 10 parameters are involved. This article suggests that various restrictive strategies reduced the sustainable demand for renewable energy and led to a drop in economic growth, slowing the growth of COVID-19 infections in 2020. It is unknown to what extent the observed slowdown in the spread from March 2020 to September 2020 due to the policy’s impact and not the interaction between the virus and the external environment. All renewable energy producers decreased the volume of renewable energy market supply in 2020 (except China).

Summary Accurate production forecasting is an essential task and accompanies the entire process of reservoir development. With the limitation of prediction principles and processes, the traditional approaches are difficult to make rapid predictions. With the development of artificial intelligence, the data-driven model provides an alternative approach for production forecasting. To fully take the impact of interwell interference on production into account, this paper proposes a deep learning-based hybrid model (GCN-LSTM), where graph convolutional network (GCN) is used to capture complicated spatial patterns between each well, and long short-term memory (LSTM) neural network is adopted to extract intricate temporal correlations from historical production data. To implement the proposed model more efficiently, two data preprocessing procedures are performed: Outliers in the data set are removed by using a box plot visualization, and measurement noise is reduced by a wavelet transform. The robustness and applicability of the proposed model are evaluated in two scenarios of different data types with the root mean square error (RMSE), the mean absolute error (MAE), and the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE). The results show that the proposed model can effectively capture spatial and temporal correlations to make a rapid and accurate oil production forecast.

The Impact

To properly manage the groundwater resources, it is necessary to analyze the impact of groundwater withdrawal on the groundwater level. In this study, a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network was used to evaluate the groundwater level prediction performance and analyze the impact of the change in the amount of groundwater withdrawal from the pumping wells on the change in the groundwater level in the nearby monitoring wells located in Jeju Island, Korea. The Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency between the observed and simulated groundwater level was over 0.97. Therefore, the groundwater prediction performance of LSTM was remarkably high. If the groundwater level is simulated on the assumption that the future withdrawal amount is reduced by 1/3 of the current groundwater withdrawal, the range of the maximum rise of the groundwater level would be 0.06–0.13 m compared to the current condition. In addition, assuming that no groundwater is taken, the range of the maximum increase in the groundwater level would be 0.11–0.38 m more than the current condition. Therefore, the effect of groundwater withdrawal on the groundwater level in this area was exceedingly small. The method and results can be used to develop new groundwater withdrawal sources for the redistribution of groundwater withdrawals.

COVID-19 is an infectious disease that mostly affects the respiratory system. At the time of this research being performed, there were more than 1.4 million cases of COVID-19, and one of the biggest anxieties is not just our health, but our livelihoods, too. In this research, authors investigate the impact of COVID-19 on the global economy, more specifically, the impact of COVID-19 on the financial movement of Crude Oil price and three US stock indexes: DJI, S&P 500, and NASDAQ Composite. The proposed system for predicting commodity and stock prices integrates the stationary wavelet transform (SWT) and bidirectional long short-term memory (BDLSTM) networks. Firstly, SWT is used to decompose the data into approximation and detail coefficients. After decomposition, data of Crude Oil price and stock market indexes along with COVID-19 confirmed cases were used as input variables for future price movement forecasting. As a result, the proposed system BDLSTM + WT-ADA achieved satisfactory results in terms of five-day Crude Oil price forecast.

Abstract Deep learning has made significant advances in methodologies and practical applications in recent years. However, there is a lack of understanding on how the long short-term memory (LSTM) networks perform in river flow prediction. This paper assesses the performance of LSTM networks to understand the impact of network structures and parameters on river flow predictions. Two river basins with different characteristics, i.e., Hun river and Upper Yangtze river basins, are used as case studies for the 10-day average flow predictions and the daily flow predictions, respectively. The use of the fully connected layer with the activation function before the LSTM cell layer can substantially reduce learning efficiency. On the contrary, non-linear transformation following the LSTM cells is required to improve learning efficiency due to the different magnitudes of precipitation and flow. The batch size and the number of LSTM cells are sensitive parameters and should be carefully tuned to achieve a balance between learning efficiency and stability. Compared with several hydrological models, the LSTM network achieves good performance in terms of three evaluation criteria, i.e., coefficient of determination, Nash–Sutcliffe Efficiency and relative error, which demonstrates its powerful capacity in learning non-linear and complex processes in hydrological modelling.

The Impact

A Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) based sales model has been developed to forecast the global sales of hotel business of Travel Boutique Online Holidays (TBO Holidays). The LSTM model is a multivariate model; input to the model includes several independent variables in addition to a dependent variable, viz., sales from the previous step. One of the input variables, “number of active bookers per day”, is estimated for the same day as sales. This need for estimation requires the development of another LSTM model to predict the number of active bookers per day. The number of active bookers is variable, so the predicted is used as an input to the sales forecasting model. The use of a predicted variable as an input variable to another model increases the chance of uncertainty entering the system. This paper discusses the quantum of variability observed in sales predictions for various uncertainties or noise due to the estimation of the number of active bookers. For the purposes of this study, different noise distributions such as normalized, uniform, and logistic distributions are used, among others. Analyses of predictions demonstrate that the addition of uncertainty to the number of active bookers via dropouts as well as to the lagged sales variables leads to model predictions that are close to the observations. The least squared error between observations and predictions is higher for uncertainties modeled using other distributions (without dropouts) with the worst predictions being for Gumbel noise distribution. Gaussian noise added directly to the weights matrix yields the best results (minimum prediction errors). One possibility of this uncertainty could be that the global minimum of the least squared objective function with respect to the model weight matrix is not reached, and therefore, model parameters are not optimal. The two LSTM models used in series are also used to study the impact of corona virus on global sales. By introducing a new variable called the corona virus impact variable, the LSTM models can predict corona-affected sales within five percent (5%) of the actuals. The research discussed in the paper finds LSTM models to be effective tools that can be used in the travel industry as they are able to successfully model the trends in sales. These tools can be reliably used to simulate various hypothetical scenarios also.

The Impact

Although a lot of work has been conducted on car-following modeling, model calibration and validation are still a great challenge, especially in the era of autonomous driving. Most challengingly, besides the immediate benefit incurred with a car-following action, a smart vehicle needs to learn to evaluate the long-term benefits and become foresighted in conducting car-following behaviors. Driving memory, which plays a significant role in car-following, has seldom been considered in current models. This paper focuses on the impact of driving memory on car-following behavior, particularly, historical driving memory represents certain types of driving regimes and drivers’ maneuver in coordination with the variety of driving regimes. An autoencoder was used to extract the main features underlying the time-series data in historical driving memory. Long short-term memory (LSTM) neural network model has been employed to investigate the relationship between driving memory and car-following behavior. The results show that velocity, relative velocity, instant perception time (IPT), and time gap are the most relevant parameters, while distance gap is insignificant. Furthermore, we compared the accuracy and robustness of three patterns including various driving memory information and span levels. This study contributes to bridging the gap between historical driving memory and car-following behavior modeling. The developed LSTM methodology has the potential to provide personalized warnings of dangerous car-following distance over the next second.

The impact of the still ongoing “Coronavirus Disease 2019” (COVID-19) pandemic has been and is still vast, affecting not only global human health and stretching healthcare facilities, but also profoundly disrupting societal and economic systems worldwide. The nature of the way the virus spreads causes cases to come in further recurring waves. This is due a complex array of biological, societal and environmental factors, including the novel nature of the emerging pathogen. Other parameters explaining the epidemic trend consisting of recurring waves are logistic–organizational challenges in the implementation of the vaccine roll-out, scarcity of doses and human resources, seasonality, meteorological drivers, and community heterogeneity, as well as cycles of strengthening and easing/lifting of the mitigation interventions. Therefore, it is crucial to be able to have an early alert system to identify when another wave of cases is about to occur. The availability of a variety of newly developed indicators allows for the exploration of multi-feature prediction models for case data. Ten indicators were selected as features for our prediction model. The model chosen is a Recurrent Neural Network with Long Short-Term Memory. This paper documents the development of an early alert/detection system that functions by predicting future daily confirmed cases based on a series of features that include mobility and stringency indices, and epidemiological parameters. The model is trained on the intermittent period in between the first and the second wave, in all of the South African provinces.

This paper analyzes the impact of continuously changing sentiments on apparently unstable stock exchange. Right when a monetary supporter decides to buy or sell stock, his decision is very much dependent on to rise or fall in price of the stock. In this paper, we look at the possibility of using notion attitudes (good versus negative) and moreover sentiments (delight, feel sorry for, etc) isolated from finance related news or tweets to help predict stock worth turns of events. This examination uses a model-self-ruling approach to manage uncover the mysterious components of stock exchange data using distinctive significant learning techniques like Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN), Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM), and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU).
