The effect of training data size on real-time respiration prediction using long short-term memory model

Compressive strength is an important mechanical property of high-strength concrete (HSC), but testing methods are usually uneconomical, time-consuming, and labor-intensive. To this end, in this paper, a long short-term memory (LSTM) model was proposed to predict the HSC compressive strength using 324 data sets with five input independent variables, namely water, cement, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate, and superplasticizer. The prediction results were compared with those of the conventional support vector regression (SVR) model using four metrics, root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), and correlation coefficient (R2). The results showed that the prediction accuracy and reliability of LSTM were higher with R2 = 0.997, RMSE = 0.508, MAE = 0.08, and MAPE = 0.653 compared to the evaluation metrics R2 = 0.973, RMSE = 1.595, MAE = 0.312, MAPE = 2.469 of the SVR model. The LSTM model is recommended for the pre-estimation of HSC compressive strength under a given mix ratio before the laboratory compression test. Additionally, the Shapley additive explanations (SHAP)-based approach was performed to analyze the relative importance and contribution of the input variables to the output compressive strength.

The effective integration of photovoltaic (PV) systems into the grid which facilitates better planning and resource allocation depends on accurate day-ahead solar power forecasts. This paper proposes a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) model for forecasting solar power generation one day in advance with the algorithm inspired by Ant Colony Optimization (ACO). A year's worth of real-time data for a 4.5 kW PV system is used to train and test the model with input characteristics including temperature, PV power production and solar irradiation. Over the course of three seasons—summer, winter, and monsoon—the performance of the ACO-optimized LSTM model is contrasted with that of a simple LSTM model and an LSTM model enhanced by particle swarm optimization (PSO). This encompasses metrics like R-squared (R²) values, Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE). The PSO-optimized LSTM model (MAE of 0.31 kW, RMSE of 0.38 kW and R² of 0.88) and the baseline LSTM model (MAE of 0.35 kW, RMSE of 0.42 kW and R² of 0.85) couldn't match the ACO-optimized LSTM model's summertime MAE of 0.27 kW, RMSE of 0.33 kW and R² of 0.92. Similar trends also surfaced throughout the monsoon and winter seasons, with the ACO-optimized model consistently outperforming the others. In the winter, for instance, it obtained an R² of 0.93, an RMSE of 0.26 kW and an MAE of 0.22 kW. With regard to hyper parameter optimization and overall performance, these findings demonstrate the ACO-optimized LSTM model's superiority over the baseline and PSO-optimized LSTM models highlighting its improved prediction precision for all seasons. The effectiveness of ACO in bolstering solar power forecast models is confirmed by this study and provides a solid basis for deep learning model improvement in practical PV applications.

<span lang="EN-US">Multi-target vehicle detection in urban traffic faces challenges such as poor lighting, small object sizes, and diverse vehicle types, impacting traffic flow prediction accuracy. This study introduces an optimized long short-term memory (LSTM) model using the Komodo Mlipir algorithm (KMA) to enhance prediction accuracy. Traffic video data are processed with YOLO for vehicle classification and object counting. The LSTM model, trained to capture traffic patterns, employs parameters optimized by KMA, including learning rate, neuron count, and epochs. KMA integrates mutation and crossover strategies to enable adaptive selection in global and local searches. The model's performance was evaluated on an urban traffic dataset with uniform configurations for population size and key LSTM parameters, ensuring consistent evaluation. Results showed LSTM-KMA achieved a root mean square error (RMSE) of 14.5319, outperforming LSTM (16.6827), LSTM-improved dung beetle optimization (IDBO) (15.0946), and LSTM-particle swarm optimization (PSO) (15.0368). Its mean absolute error (MAE), at 8.7041, also surpassed LSTM (9.9903), LSTM-IDBO (9.0328), and LSTM-PSO (9.0015). LSTM-KMA effectively tackles multi-target detection challenges, improving prediction accuracy and transportation system efficiency. This reliable solution supports real-time urban traffic management, addressing the demands of dynamic urban environments.</span>

Traditional photovoltaic (PV) power prediction methods in microgrids are insensitive to weather characteristics, and fluctuations in weather data can lead to insufficient PV power prediction accuracy. Therefore, this paper proposes a short-term PV power prediction method for microgrids based on FCM–QPSO–LSTM, which is used to predict PV power under different seasons and weather types. First, the fuzzy [Formula: see text]-means clustering algorithm (FCM) is used to perform clustering analysis on multi-source weather data, and the initial dataset is clustered into sunny, cloudy, and rainy days. Second, to address the shortcomings of a single long-short-term memory (LSTM) model in terms of prediction accuracy and stability, the quantum particle swarm optimization (QPSO) algorithm is used to optimize the model of the LSTM network, and the QPSO–LSTM prediction model is constructed. By introducing quantum dynamic inertia weights and adaptive learning factors, the QPSO algorithm enhances the global search capability and local search capability, which greatly improves the prediction accuracy and stability of the prediction model. Finally, the average absolute percentage error and root mean square error (RMSE) are applied as evaluation indexes to assess the performance of the prediction model. The simulation results show that the QPSO–LSTM model is better than the single LSTM model and the traditional PSO–LSTM model in terms of the average absolute percentage error and RMSE indicators and is able to make accurate predictions of short-term PV power under different seasons and weather types.

This study demonstrates the application of deep learning approach specifically the deep learning for cyberfraud incidence classification and time series prediction in the South African financial institutions. Secondary data from the South African Banking Risk Information Centre (SABRIC) was employed and the data was trained under the deep learning paradigm using the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) model and adaptive moment estimation (ADAM) algorithm for fraud incidence classification and time series prediction of fraud incidences. Overall, there were 94.1% correct classifications as opposed to 5.9% incorrect classifications. Moreover, the accuracy, precision, recall and F1-score of the LSTM classification model were 71.668%, 87.5%, 99.1% and 78.78% respectively. This indicates that the developed LSTM model is suitable for classification purposes. In addition, the model’s performance improves as new datasets are fed in. This is evident as the root mean square error (RMSE) reduced from 253.5116 obtained initially to 150.9 after new data was fed in. This study contributes conceptually, theoretically and empirical to knowledge on cyberfraud mitigation. The results show that the LSTM model can be deployed for fraud classification and time series analysis of fraud incidences. The outcome of this study may promote cyber resilience and sustain the fight against the perpetration of cyber-related fraud in South Africa’s financial institutions. The use of the LSTM model for cyberfraud classification and time series prediction of cyberfraud incidences in the South African financial institutions demonstrated in this study is unique.

Many countries around the globe, including Tanzania, are investing in renewable energy, partly because of the need to increase electric power generation and meet the ever-increasing electricity demands, and partly because of the need to combat global climate change caused by carbon emissions from fossil fuel-based electricity production. Kishapu Solar Project, located in Kishapu District, Shinyanga Region, Tanzania, is one of the renewable energy projects with a planned generation of 150 MW of electric power once completed, using solar photovoltaic technology. Accurate forecasting of solar radiation is important in managing and maintaining solar energy plants. Inaccurate forecasting of solar radiation can lead to poor harvest of solar energy and poor management of solar energy plants, which directly impacts electricity contribution to the national electricity grid. Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and its variant, PeepHole LSTM, are examples of Deep Learning models that can be used to predict solar radiation. The purpose of PeepHole LSTM is to introduce “peephole” connections in the LSTM model, which allow LSTM gates to directly inspect memory cell state and hence have richer information to process. However, there is still a research gap on the impact of “peephole” connections on the prediction performance of the LSTM model, especially in the context of forecasting solar radiation in Kishapu District, where the Kishapu Solar Project is located. The purpose of this study is to fill this research gap by developing both LSTM and PeepHole LSTM models and comparing their performances in forecasting solar radiation in Kishapu District. The 14-year Kishapu District daily solar radiation (Downward Shortwave Radiation) dataset was first pre-processed by scaling (normalizing) it using Standard Scaler and then split into training set (the first 70%), validation set (the next 15%) and test set (the last 15%) before being utilized to train and test the developed LSTM and PeepHole LSTM models. Both LSTM and PeepHole LSTM models used the previous 5 days' solar radiation values as inputs to predict the output (next day (6th day) solar radiation value). The trained and better-performing model between the two was finally saved in .h5 format and integrated with a Gradio based Web Application to provide a user interface for officials in Kishapu District and at Kishapu Solar Project to predict daily solar radiation. The findings from performance evaluation revealed that the LSTM model outperformed the PeepHole LSTM model in predicting solar radiation by achieving test Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) scores of 26.22 W/m2 and 36.65 W/m2, respectively, compared to MAE and RMSE scores of 30.84 W/m2 and 41.88 W/m2, respectively, achieved by the PeepHole LSTM model, concluding that “peephole” connections reduce the performance of the LSTM model rather than increasing it when used to forecast solar radiation in Kishapu District. This study’s recommendation to Artificial Intelligence (AI) software developers and researchers is to use the LSTM rather than the PeepHole LSTM Deep Learning model when forecasting solar radiation in Kishapu District and in locations with similar climatic conditions

Traffic safety has been thought of as a basic feature of transportation, recent developments in civil aviation have emphasized the need for risk identification and safety prediction. This study aims to increase en-route flight safety through the development of prediction models for flight conflicts. Firstly, flight conflicts time series and traffic parameters are extracted from historical ADS-B data. In the second step, a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) model is trained to make a one-step-ahead prediction on the flight conflict time series. The results show that the LSTM model has the greatest prediction effect (MAE 0.3901) with comparison to other models. Based on that, we add traffic parameters (volume, density, velocity) into the LSTM model as new input variables and issue a comprehensive analysis of the relative predictive power of traffic parameters. The accuracy of prediction model is validated with a mean error of less than 3%. Based on the improvements of model performance brought by traffic parameters, LSTM models with a single traffic parameter are proposed for further discussion. The results illustrate that volume is the most important factor in promoting prediction accuracy and density has an advantage of improvement in the aspect of model stability.

Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is one of the most widespread and deadly diseases in several parts of Indonesia. An accurate forecast-based model is required to reduce the incidence rate of this disease. Time-series methods such as autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) models are used in epidemiology as statistical tools to study and forecast DHF and other infectious diseases. The present study attempted to forecast the monthly confirmed DHF cases via a time-series approach. The ARIMA, seasonal ARIMA (SARIMA), and long short-term memory (LSTM) models were compared to select the most accurate forecasting method for the deadly disease. The data were obtained from the Surabaya Health Office covering January 2014 to December 2016. The data were partitioned into the training and testing sets. The best forecasting model was selected based on the lowest values of accuracy metrics such as the root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE). The findings demonstrated that the SARIMA (2,1,1) (1,0,0) model was able to forecast the DHF outbreaks in Surabaya City compared to the ARIMA (2,1,1) and LSTM models. We further forecasted the DHF cases for 12 month horizons starting from January 2017 to December 2017 using the SARIMA (2,1,1) (1,0,0), ARIMA (2,1,1), and LSTM models. The results revealed that the SARIMA (2,1,1) (1,0,0) model outperformed the ARIMA (2,1,1) and LSTM models based on the goodness-of-fit measure. The results showed significant seasonal outbreaks of DHF, particularly from March to September. The highest cases observed in May suggested a significant seasonal correlation between DHF and air temperature. This research is the first attempt to analyze the time-series model for DHF cases in Surabaya City and forecast future outbreaks. The findings could help policymakers and public health specialists develop efficient public health strategies to detect and control the disease, especially in the early phases of outbreaks.

An accurate electrical Short-term Load Forecasting (STLF) is an eminent factor in the power generation, electrical load dispatching and energy planning for the power supply companies, specifically in developing countries. This paper proposes a novel temporal feature selection-based Long Short-term Memory (LSTM) model developed by the combination of standard Artificial Neural Network (ANN) layer and LSTM for electrical short term load forecasting. The LSTM model has excellent capability of predicting the stochastic nature of an hour ahead electrical loads. The standard ANN layer consisting 11 neurons is used as an input to LSTM cells. Such a combination of ANN layer with LSTM was never proposed before. The proposed model accommodates variations in weather as well as temporal inputs like humidity, holidays, and date-time features in the hourly load data of the power supply company situated in Johor, Malaysia. This paper gives the insights of hyper parameter tuning to capture the more generalized electrical load patterns in the dataset without compromising the time complexity of the proposed model. The proposed approach was compared with five existing approaches, namely: ANN, LSTM model 1, LSTM model 2, LSTM model 3 and Convolutional Neural Network-LSTM (CNN-LSTM) using hourly load dataset of Johor. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach outperformed the existing approaches in terms of root mean square error, mean absolute percentage error and Diebold-Mariano statistical inference test within 95% confidence interval.

Abstract: This research is driven by the challenges faced by Universitas Lancang Kuning (UNILAK) in attracting applicants amidst intense competition, especially after the government's policy opened independent pathways to State Universities (PTN) from 2022-2023, which impacted private university applicant numbers. To address this and support strategic planning, this study aims to predict the trend of prospective students applying to all study programs at UNILAK for the period 2025-2027. Two time series models were employed: ARIMA (AutoRegressive Integrated Moving Average) and LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory). Applicant data from 2019 to 2024 was used to build the model. The Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) test confirmed the data's stationarity with a p-value of 0.0. ACF and PACF analyses determined the ARIMA parameters as p=1, d=1, q=1. The LSTM model was trained to capture more complex data patterns. ARIMA predictions for 2025, 2026, and 2027 are 3298.66, 3362.33, and 3371.30, respectively. LSTM predictions for the same years are 3335.64, 3476.52, and 3518.42. Evaluation using Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) showed ARIMA (RMSE=588.72) to be more accurate than LSTM (RMSE=653.96). Nevertheless, LSTM provided a more optimistic prediction. This study concludes that ARIMA is better suited for short-term planning, while LSTM can be used for more ambitious long-term strategies.

Accurate Remaining Useful Life (RUL) prediction is critical for the predictive maintenance and operational safety of aircraft turbofan engines. This research develops and evaluates a stacked Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network for RUL prediction using the NASA C-MAPSS FD001 dataset as a fundamental case study. A systematic data preprocessing pipeline was employed, including sensor selection, RUL value clipping at 130 cycles, and feature normalization to prepare the data for modeling. The LSTM model was trained with regularization techniques and an EarlyStopping callback to ensure robustness and prevent overfitting. Evaluation results on the unseen test data show the final model achieved a solid and competitive performance with a Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) of 15.22 and a PHM08 Score of 311.20. These results demonstrate that a well-configured LSTM architecture provides a reliable baseline for engine prognostic tasks, exhibiting strong generalization capabilities on new data.

Rate of penetration (ROP) is an essential factor in drilling optimization and reducing the drilling cycle. Most of the traditional ROP prediction methods are based on building physical model and single intelligent algorithms, and the efficiency and accuracy of these prediction methods are very low. With the development of artificial intelligence, high-performance algorithms make reliable prediction possible from the data perspective. To improve ROP prediction efficiency and accuracy, this paper presents a method based on particle swarm algorithm for optimization of long short-term memory (LSTM) neural networks. In this paper, we consider the Tuha Shengbei block oilfield as an example. First, the Pearson correlation coefficient is used to measure the correlation between the characteristics and eight parameters are screened out, namely, the depth of the well, gamma, formation density, pore pressure, well diameter, drilling time, displacement, and drilling fluid density. Second, the PSO algorithm is employed to optimize the super-parameters in the construction of the LSTM model to the predict ROP. Third, we assessed model performance using the determination coefficient (R 2), root mean square error (RMSE), and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE). The evaluation results show that the optimized LSTM model achieves an R 2 of 0.978 and RMSE and MAPE are 0.287 and 12.862, respectively, hence overperforming the existing methods. The average accuracy of the optimized LSTM model is also improved by 44.2%, indicating that the prediction accuracy of the optimized model is higher. This proposed method can help to drill engineers and decision makers to better plan the drilling operation scheme and reduce the drilling cycle.

Electricity is the most substantial energy form that significantly affects the development of modern life, work efficiency, quality of life, production, and competitiveness of the society in the ever-growing global world. In this respect, forecasting accurate electricity energy consumption (EEC) is fairly essential for any country?s energy consumption planning and management regarding its growth. In this study, four time-series methods; long short-term memory (LSTM) neural network, adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) with subtractive clustering (SC), ANFIS with fuzzy cmeans (FCM), and ANFIS with grid partition (GP) were implemented for the short-term one-day ahead EEC prediction. Root mean square error (RMSE), correlation coefficient (R), mean absolute error (MAE) and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) were considered as statistical accuracy criteria. Those forecasted results by the LSTM, ANFIS-FCM, ANFIS-SC and ANFIS-GP models were evaluated by comparing with the actual data using statistical accuracy metrics. According to the testing process, the best MAPE values were obtained to be 4.47%, 3.21%, 2.34%, and 1.91% for the ANFIS-GP, ANFIS-SC, ANFIS-FCM, and LSTM, respectively. Furthermore, the best RMSE values were found as 25.94 GWh, 41.17 GWh, 29.50 GWh, and 80.14 GWh for the LSTM, ANFIS-SC, ANFIS-FCM, and ANFIS-GP models, respectively. As a consequence, the LSTM model generally outperformed all ANFIS models. The results revealed that forecasting of short-term daily EEC time series using the LSTM approach can provide high accuracy results.

The objective of this research is to develop a solution for predicting BRI stock prices using Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) models. The LSTM model was selected for its capacity to process extensive time series data and discern latent temporal patterns. In this study, a BRI stock dataset obtained from Yahoo Finance is employed for the training and testing of an LSTM model. The evaluation results demonstrate that the LSTM model exhibits excellent predictive performance, with a mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) of 1.58768% and a root mean square error (RMSE) of 81.88216%. The Google test results demonstrate a low mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) of 1.5%, indicating a strong correlation between the predicted and true values. In other words, the RMSE values indicate the absolute error level in predictions, indicating the extent to which the model performs well when predicting a value that takes into account the context of the data. In conclusion, the proposed LSTM model shows promise for use in stock price prediction applications. The precision of these models can be tested by using them to make predictions, which would validate the decision-making supported by data. This research suggests that there is room for improvement of these models using techniques such as hyperparameter optimization or ensemble methods (bagging with other weak learners, etc.) to improve their accuracy.

Forecasting models with high accuracy become more important during uncertain conditions, such as climate change, that could have a high effect. The forecast model's accuracy in predicting cocoa crop yield must be high to determine decision-making in management. Seven different potential predictor variables have been analyzed in this research to see the influence of cocoa crop yield. Using a scatter plot diagram, six of seven variables, relative humidity, maximum temperature, minimum temperature, evapotranspiration, rainfall, and soil moisture, are proven to influence cocoa crop yield. Then, those datasets are divided into training and validation sets using multiple linear regression analysis and a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network. The output model of those methods is assessed using two metrics: coefficient of determination and Root Means Square Error (RMSE). From those model performance metrics, LSTM outperformed multiple linear regression analysis. LSTM has an R-square of 98% and an RMSE of 0.3 while multiple linear regression just reached 82% of the R-square and 2.57 of the RMSE. The LSTM model has been proven to be valid.
