Prediction-based approaches are valuable in assessing dam safeties, as they allow comparing the actual measurements with the projected values to detect anomalies early. For two decades, machine learning (ML) algorithms have been developed and improved to help in accurately predicting the dam behaviors. However, the generalization ability (GA) of th...

Objective: The assessment of lipid profiles in children is critical for the early detection of dyslipidemia. Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is one of the most often used measures in diagnosing and treating patients with dyslipidemia. Therefore, accurate determination of LDL-C levels is critical for managing lipid abnormalities. In this...
Missing rainfall data has been a prevalent issue and primarily interested in hydrology and meteorology. This research aimed to examine the capability of machine learning (ML) and spatial interpolation (SI) methods to estimate missing monthly rainfall data. Six ML algorithms (i.e. multiple linear regression (MLR), M5 model tree (M5), random forest (...
The aboveground carbon storage (AGC) of urban forests is an important indicator reflecting the ecological function of urban forests. It is essential to monitor the AGC of urban forests and analyze their spatiotemporal distributions. Remote sensing is a technical tool that can be leveraged to accurately monitor forest AGC, whereas machine learning i...
Accurate solar radiation forecasting is essential to operate power systems safely under high shares of photovoltaic generation. This paper compares the performance of several machine learning algorithms for solar radiation forecasting using endogenous and exogenous inputs and proposes an ensemble feature selection method to choose not only the most...
The daily soil radon activity has been measured continuously over a year with BARASOL BMC2 probe at a measuring site of Jadavpur University Campus in Kolkata, India. The dependency of soil radon activity with different atmospheric parameters such as soil temperature, soil pressure, humidity, air temperature, and rainfall has been also analyzed. The...

Isotope techniques are most frequently used when hydrochemical analysis are insufficient to determine the origin and quality of groundwater and reveal seawater intrusion into groundwater along coastlines. In this study, the potential of the multilayer perceptron, adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system, generalized regression neural networks, radial basis neural networks, classification and regression tree, Gaussian process regression, multiple linear regression analysis, and support vector machines were compared using known hydrochemical properties of waters for estimating deuterium (δD) and oxygen-18 (δ¹⁸O) isotopes in groundwater of the Bafra plain, Northern Turkey. The data were divided into training (70%) and testing (30%) sets. Cluster analysis was performed to decrease the number of input variables. The data on electrical conductivity, chloride, magnesium, and sulfate were introduced into the models after examining different combinations of these variables in the studied models. The determination coefficient (R²), mean absolute error (MAE), and root mean square error (RMSE) were used to evaluate the performances of the models. In addition, visualization techniques (Taylor diagram and heat maps) were prepared to assess the similarities between the measured and estimated δD and δ¹⁸O values. The R², RMSE, and MAE for δ¹⁸O (0.98, 0.31 and 0.20‰, respectively), and δD (0.95, 2.85 and 1.89‰, respectively) values for the testing datasets revealed that the performance accuracy of multilayer perceptron is the best among the applied models tested. Therefore, the study suggests using data-driven methods, multilayer perceptron in this case, when lacking appropriate laboratory isotope analysis or facing high laboratory analysis costs.
