Air Pollution Prediction Using Recurrent Neural Network, Long Short-Term Memory and Hybrid of Convolutional Neural Network and Long Short-Term Memory Models

Abstract

Air pollution prediction was not an easy task few years back. With the increasing computation power and wide availability of the datasets, air pollution prediction problem is solved to some extend. Inspired by the deep learning models, in this paper three techniques for air pollution prediction have been proposed. The models used includes recurrent neural network (RNN), Long short-term memory (LSTM) and a hybrid combination of Convolutional neural network (CNN) and LSTM models. These models are tested by comparing MSE loss on air pollution test of Belgium. The validation loss on RNN is 0.0045, LSTM is 0.00441 and CNN and LSTM is 0.0049. The loss on testing dataset for these models are 0.00088, 0.00441 and 0.0049 respectively.
