When researchers and practitioners in the field of
computational intelligence are confronted with real-world
problems, the question arises which method is the best to
apply. Nowadays, there are several, well established test
suites and well known artificial benchmark functions
available.
However, relevance and applicability of these methods to
real-world problems remains an open question in many
situations. Furthermore, the generalizability of these
methods cannot be taken for granted.
This paper describes a data-driven approach for the
generation of test instances, which is based on
real-world data. The test instance generation uses
data-preprocessing, feature extraction, modeling, and
parameterization. We apply this methodology on a classical
design of experiment real-world project and generate test
instances for benchmarking, e.g. design methods, surrogate
techniques, and optimization algorithms. While most
available results of methods applied on real-world
problems lack availability of the data for comparison,
our future goal is to create a toolbox covering multiple
data sets of real-world projects to provide a test
function generator to the research community.
Forschendes Lernen versteht sich als ein methodisches Prinzip, das Forschungsorientierung und Verknüpfung von Forschung und Lehre in die Studiengänge und Lehrveranstaltungen integriert und für studentische Lernprozesse nutzbringend anwendet. Studierende sind dabei Teil der Scientific Community.
Dieser Artikel ist ein Erfahrungsbericht, in dem das Konzept des „Forschenden Lernens“ in einer Variante vorgestellt wird, die in den letzten zehn Jahren an einer deutschen Fachhochschule für ingenieurwissenschaftliche Studiengänge entwickelt wurde.
Da es „das“ Forschende Lernen nicht gibt, werden zunächst die für diesen Artikel relevanten Gesichtspunkte zusammengestellt. Darauf aufbauend wird ein Prozessmodell des Forschenden Lernens vorgestellt. Dieses Modell ermöglicht Forschendes Lernen für Bachelor- und Masterstudierende sowie für Doktorandinnen und Doktoranden.
Dieser Schlussbericht beschreibt die im Projekt „Methoden der Computational Intelligence für Vorhersagemodelle in der Finanzund Wasserwirtschaft“ (FIWA) im Zeitraum von Juni 2009 bis einschließlich November 2012 erzielten Ergebnisse. In der Praxis werden für diese Vorhersagemodelle Verfahren der linearen und nichtlinearen Regression, NN, Support Vector Machines (SVM) und viele weitere Verfahren eingesetzt. Das Projekt FIWA befasste sich mit der Entwicklung modularer Systeme zur Analyse und Prognose von Daten aus der Finanz- und Wasserwirtschaft mittels Verfahren der Computational Intelligence (CI) mit methodischem Fokus auf dem CI-Unterbereich Genetic Programming (GP). Ein zentrales Ergebnis der wissenschaftlichtechnischen Arbeit im Projekt FIWA ist die Entwicklung der Open-Source Software RGP. Dabei handelt es sich um ein Software- Framework für GP, welches auf die automatische Erstellung von Vorhersagemodellen spezialisiert ist. Für die Finanzwirtschaft stand ein Handelssimulator zu Verfügung, der auf Basis von echten Finanzdaten die Qualität verschiedener Strategien testen kann. Dieser wurde im Projekt weiterentwickelt. GP wurde genutzt, um auf Basis der Simulationen genaue Vorhersagen und damit verbesserte Handelsstrategien zu entwerfen. Auch für die Wasserwirtschaft wurden Prognoseverfahren mit GP entwickelt. Der Schwerpunkt lag dabei auf der Füllstandprognose für Regenüberlaufbecken. Hier konnten moderne Verfahren mit GP oder SVM klassische Methoden deutlich schlagen oder verbessern. Auch der Einsatz von Sequentieller Parameter Optimierung zeigte signifikante Verbesserungen für die Prognosegenauigkeit. Dabei war die Kombination von klassischen Methoden und GP besonders erfolgreich. GP ist nach wie vor ein sehr aktives Forschungsgebiet und erlaubt auch für die Folgezeit zahlreiche Kooperationen mit den Partnern der Fachhochschule Köln. Sowohl für technische Anwendungen als auch zur Lösung von Forschungsfragen bieten sich zahlreiche Möglichkeiten an.
We propose a hybridization approach called Regularized-Surrogate- Optimization (RSO) aimed at overcoming difficulties related to high- dimensionality. It combines standard Kriging-based SMBO with regularization techniques. The employed regularization methods use the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO). An extensive study is performed on a set of artificial test functions and two real-world applications: the electrostatic precipitator problem and a multilayered composite design problem. Experiments reveal that RSO requires significantly less time than Kriging to obtain comparable results. The pros and cons of the RSO approach are discussed and recommendations for practitioners are presented.
Surrogate-based optimization relies on so-called infill criteria (acquisition functions) to decide which point to evaluate next. When Kriging is used as the surrogate model of choice (also called Bayesian optimization), one of the most frequently chosen criteria is expected improvement. We argue that the popularity of expected improvement largely relies on its theoretical properties rather than empirically validated performance. Few results from the literature show evidence, that under certain conditions, expected improvement may perform worse than something as simple as the predicted value of the surrogate model. We benchmark both infill criteria in an extensive empirical study on the ‘BBOB’ function set. This investigation includes a detailed study of the impact of problem dimensionality on algorithm performance. The results support the hypothesis that exploration loses importance with increasing problem dimensionality. A statistical analysis reveals that the purely exploitative search with the predicted value criterion performs better on most problems of five or higher dimensions. Possible reasons for these results are discussed. In addition, we give an in-depth guide for choosing the infill criteria based on prior knowledge about the problem at hand, its dimensionality, and the available budget.
EventDetectR: An efficient Event Detection System (EDS) capable of detecting unexpected water quality conditions. This approach uses multiple algorithms to model the relationship between various multivariate water quality signals. Then the residuals of the models were utilized in constructing the event detection algorithm, which provides a continuous measure of the probability of an event at every time step. The proposed framework was tested for water contamination events with industrial data from automated water quality sensors. The results showed that the framework is reliable with better performance and is highly suitable for event detection.
This paper proposes an experimental methodology for on-line machine learning algorithms, i.e., for algorithms that work on data that are available in a sequential order.
It is demonstrated how established tools from experimental algorithmics (EA) can be applied in the on-line or streaming data setting.
The massive on-line analysis (MOA) framework is used to perform the experiments.
Benefits of a well-defined report structure are discussed.
The application of methods from the EA community to on-line or streaming data is referred to as experimental algorithmics for streaming data (EADS).
Data pre-processing is a key research topic in data mining because it plays a
crucial role in improving the accuracy of any data mining algorithm. In most
real world cases, a significant amount of the recorded data is found missing
due to most diverse errors. This loss of data is nearly always unavoidable.
Recovery of missing data plays a vital role in avoiding inaccurate data
mining decisions. Most multivariate imputation methods are not compatible
to univariate datasets and the traditional univariate imputation techniques
become highly biased as the missing data gap increases. With the current
technological advancements abundant data is being captured every second.
Hence, we intend to develop a new algorithm that enables maximum
utilization of the available big datasets for imputation. In this paper, we
present a Seasonal and Trend decomposition using Loess (STL) based
Seasonal Moving Window Algorithm, which is capable of handling patterns
with trend as well as cyclic characteristics. We show that the algorithm is
highly suitable for pre-processing of large datasets.
As the amount of data gathered by monitoring systems increases, using computational tools to analyze it becomes a necessity.
Machine learning algorithms can be used in both regression and classification problems, providing useful insights while avoiding the bias and proneness to errors of humans. In this paper, a specific kind of decision tree algorithm, called conditional inference tree, is used to extract relevant knowledge from data that pertains to electrical motors. The model is chosen due to its flexibility, strong statistical foundation, as well as great capabilities to generalize and cope with problems in the data. The obtained knowledge is organized in a structured way and then analyzed in the context of health condition monitoring. The final
results illustrate how the approach can be used to gain insight into the system and present the results in an understandable, user-friendly manner
The availability of several CPU cores on current computers enables
parallelization and increases the computational power significantly.
Optimization algorithms have to be adapted to exploit these highly
parallelized systems and evaluate multiple candidate solutions in
each iteration. This issue is especially challenging for expensive
optimization problems, where surrogate models are employed to
reduce the load of objective function evaluations.
This paper compares different approaches for surrogate modelbased
optimization in parallel environments. Additionally, an easy
to use method, which was developed for an industrial project, is
proposed. All described algorithms are tested with a variety of
standard benchmark functions. Furthermore, they are applied to
a real-world engineering problem, the electrostatic precipitator
problem. Expensive computational fluid dynamics simulations are
required to estimate the performance of the precipitator. The task
is to optimize a gas-distribution system so that a desired velocity
distribution is achieved for the gas flow throughout the precipitator.
The vast amount of possible configurations leads to a complex
discrete valued optimization problem. The experiments indicate
that a hybrid approach works best, which proposes candidate solutions
based on different surrogate model-based infill criteria and
evolutionary operators.
