Pavement temperature is a critical factor in winter road maintenance as it directly affects operational decisions related to de-icing, antiicing, and other safety measures. Accurate forecasting of pavement temperature enables road agencies to optimize maintenance strategies, reduce operational costs, and improve roadway safety outcomes. This study proposes a novel machine-learning algorithm, termed LSTMCNN, which integrates convolutional neural networks (CNNs) with long short-term memory (LSTM) networks for pavement temperature prediction. The proposed model enables the LSTM component to capture sequential dependencies, whereas the CNN component extracts local and spatial features embedded in time-series temperature records. Therefore, the proposed model can effectively identify long-range temporal relationships while uncovering localized or spatial features within the dataset. The input data—comprising pavement, atmospheric, and soil temperatures—were obtained at the entrance of a tunnel where a multivehicle pile-up due to black ice had occurred previously. The proposed LSTM-CNN model achieved an average prediction error of 0.61 ℃ and was benchmarked against other well-established machine-learning models, including Transformer and standalone LSTM architectures. The results show that the proposed algorithm delivers statistically superior predictive performance. The LSTM-CNN approach offers significant potential for enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of winter road maintenance operations.

The application of machine learning in concrete technology has expanded rapidly, yet its reliability is often constrained by limited experimental data, heterogeneous testing conditions, and inconsistencies across published studies. This study investigates the integration of machine learning and synthetic data augmentation to predict the compressive strength of concrete incorporating biochar as a partial replacement for cement. An experimental dataset was compiled from peer-reviewed journal articles indexed in Web of Science, focusing on biochar-modified concrete mixtures. Input variables included cement content, fine and coarse aggregates, biochar dosage, water to binder ratio, superplasticizer content, and curing age, with compressive strength as the target variable. Extreme Gradient Boosting was adopted due to its strong performance on nonlinear tabular data. Model performance was evaluated using the mean absolute error (MAE), mean squared error (MSE), and coefficient of determination (R²), alongside five-fold cross-validation. Hyperparameter optimization was performed using Optuna. To address data scarcity, a synthetic dataset of 1000 samples was generated using ChatGPT. the large language model approach relied solely on natural language prompts. Only feature definitions and the target variable were provided, without exposing the original data or implementing data generation algorithms. Three modeling strategies were examined. First, model trained and tested solely on experimental data achieved a testing R² of approximately 0.91. Second, model trained on synthetic data and evaluated exclusively on experimental data showed reduced generalization, achieving a testing R² of about 0.42, indicating pronounced domain shift effects. Third, synthetic and experimental data were combined through data augmentation and jointly modeled, a testing R² of 0.93 was achieved. The result showed that the use of LLMs for augmentation improved the performance of the model.

As renewable energy penetration continues to increase, the output variability and forecasting uncertainty of photovoltaic generation have emerged as major operational risks in power systems. This study establishes a sensor-based data quality control procedure to ensure the reliability of meteorological data collected at a PV plant. For temperature, humidity, and wind speed, a four stage QC process physical range check, persistence check, step change check, and median filtering was applied. Solar radiation, which exhibits strong temporal and distributional characteristics, was processed using a three-stage QC procedure consisting of physical range, step change, and frequency distribution checks. Using the quality-controlled meteorological data, PV generation forecasting was performed with SVM and XGBoost models. As a result, the MAPE values improved to 6.32% for SVM and 6.08% for XGBoost after QC application. The findings confirm that meteorological data quality control significantly enhances PV forecasting accuracy and can support future strategies for distributed energy resource management, curtailment mitigation, and power system risk reduction.

As demand grows for electric vehicles and advanced mobility technologies, developing materials for permanent magnets has become increasingly essential. Among them, SmCo-based permanent magnets are gaining attention due to their superior thermal stability compared to conventional NdFeB magnets, making them promising candidates for high-temperature motor applications. However, optimizing the magnetic properties of SmCo alloys remains challenging due to their complex phase structures and elemental interactions. In this study, we develop and optimize machine learning (ML) models to predict the saturation magnetization of SmCo permanent magnets using only composition-based descriptors. A dataset comprising various SmCo alloys was analyzed, with features extracted using Matminer and Pymatgen modules. We applied Random Forest (RF), eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGB), and Support Vector Regression (SVR) models and compared their regression performance using R2 score and Root-mean-squared-error (RMSE). The RF model demonstrated the best generalization and prediction accuracy. To identify the most influential features, we used permutation feature importance. Further, we refined the feature set using a genetic algorithm (GA), ultimately selecting 9 key features that yielded the highest model performance (R2 = 0.963, RMSE = 4.22 emu/g). This study highlights the potential of combining machine learning with genetic optimization to accelerate the design of high-performance, thermally stable SmCo permanent magnets.

Given the hazards posed by black ice, it is crucial to investigate the conditions that contribute to its formation. Two ensemble machinelearning algorithms, Random Forest (RF) and Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), were employed to forecast the occurrence of black ice using atmospheric data. Additionally, explainable artificial intelligence techniques, including Feature Importance (FI) and partial dependence Plot (PDP), were utilized to identify atmospheric conditions that significantly increase the likelihood of black ice formation. The machinelearning algorithms achieved a forecasting accuracy of 90%, demonstrating reliable performance. FI analysis revealed distinct key predictors between the algorithms: relative humidity was the most critical for RF, whereas wind speed was paramount for XGBoost. The PDP analysis identified the specific atmospheric conditions under which black ice was likely to form. This study provides detailed insights into the atmospheric precursors of frost/fog-induced black ice formation. These findings enable road managers to implement proactive winter road maintenance strategies, such as optimizing anti-icing patrol routes and displaying warnings on various message signs, thereby enhancing road safety.

This study aimed to improve the accuracy of road pavement design by comparing and analyzing various statistical and machine-learning techniques for predicting asphalt layer thickness, focusing on regional roads in Pakistan. The explanatory variables selected for this study included the annual average daily traffic (AADT), subbase thickness, and subgrade California bearing ratio (CBR) values from six cities in Pakistan. The statistical prediction models used were multiple linear regression (MLR), support vector regression (SVR), random forest, and XGBoost. The performance of each model was evaluated using the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) and root-mean-square error (RMSE). The analysis results indicated that the AADT was the most influential variable affecting the asphalt layer thickness. Among the models, the MLR demonstrated the best predictive performance. While XGBoost had a relatively strong performance among the machine-learning techniques, the traditional statistical model, MLR, still outperformed it in certain regions. This study emphasized the need for customized pavement designs that reflect the traffic and environmental conditions specific to regional roads in Pakistan. This finding suggests that future research should incorporate additional variables and data for a more in-depth analysis.

New motor development requires high-speed load testing using dynamo equipment to calculate the efficiency of the motor. Abnormal noise and vibration may occur in the test equipment rotating at high speed due to misalignment of the connecting shaft or looseness of the fixation, which may lead to safety accidents. In this study, three single-axis vibration sensors for X, Y, and Z axes were attached on the surface of the test motor to measure the vibration value of vibration. Analog data collected from these sensors was used in classification models for anomaly detection. Since the classification accuracy was around only 93%, commonly used hyperparameter optimization techniques such as Grid search, Random search, and Bayesian Optimization were applied to increase accuracy. In addition, Response Surface Method based on Design of Experiment was also used for hyperparameter optimization. However, it was found that there were limits to improving accuracy with these methods. The reason is that the sampling data from an analog signal does not reflect the patterns hidden in the signal. Therefore, in order to find pattern information of the sampling data, we obtained descriptive statistics such as mean, variance, skewness, kurtosis, and percentiles of the analog data, and applied them to the classification models. Classification models using descriptive statistics showed excellent performance improvement. The developed model can be used as a monitoring system that detects abnormal conditions of the motor test.

A machine learning-based algorithms have used for constructing species distribution models (SDMs), but their performances depend on the selection of backgrounds. This study attempted to develop a noble method for selecting backgrounds in machine-learning SDMs. Two machine-learning based SDMs (MaxEnt, and Random Forest) were employed with an example species (Spodoptera litura), and different background selection methods (random sampling, biased sampling, and ensemble sampling by using CLIMEX) were tested with multiple performance metrics (TSS, Kappa, F1-score). As a result, the model with ensemble sampling predicted the widest occurrence areas with the highest performance, suggesting the potential application of the developed method for enhancing a machine-learning SDM.

The increased turbidity in rivers during flood events has various effects on water environmental management, including drinking water supply systems. Thus, prediction of turbid water is essential for water environmental management. Recently, various advanced machine learning algorithms have been increasingly used in water environmental management. Ensemble machine learning algorithms such as random forest (RF) and gradient boosting decision tree (GBDT) are some of the most popular machine learning algorithms used for water environmental management, along with deep learning algorithms such as recurrent neural networks. In this study GBDT, an ensemble machine learning algorithm, and gated recurrent unit (GRU), a recurrent neural networks algorithm, are used for model development to predict turbidity in a river. The observation frequencies of input data used for the model were 2, 4, 8, 24, 48, 120 and 168 h. The root-mean-square error-observations standard deviation ratio (RSR) of GRU and GBDT ranges between 0.182~0.766 and 0.400~0.683, respectively. Both models show similar prediction accuracy with RSR of 0.682 for GRU and 0.683 for GBDT. The GRU shows better prediction accuracy when the observation frequency is relatively short (i.e., 2, 4, and 8 h) where GBDT shows better prediction accuracy when the observation frequency is relatively long (i.e. 48, 120, 160 h). The results suggest that the characteristics of input data should be considered to develop an appropriate model to predict turbidity.
