Hybridization of long short-term memory with Sparrow Search Optimization model for water quality index prediction

Abstract

Water quality (WQ) analysis is a critical stage in water resource management and should be handled immediately in order to control pollutants that could have a negative influence on the ecosystem. The dramatic increase in population, the use of fertilizers and pesticides, and the industrial revolution have resulted in severe effects on the WQ environment. As a result, the prediction of WQ greatly helped to monitor water pollution. Accurate prediction of WQ is the foundation of managing water environments and is of high importance for protecting water environment. WQ data presents in the form of multi-variate time-sequence dataset. It is clear that the accuracy of predicting WQ will be enhanced when the multi-variate relation and time sequence dataset of WQ are fully utilized. This article presents the Water Quality Prediction utilising Sparrow Search Optimization with Hybrid Long Short-Term Memory (WQP-SSHLSTM) model. The presented WQP-SSHLSTM model intends to examine the data and classify WQ into distinct classes. To achieve this, the presented WQP-SSHLSTM model undergoes data scaling process to scale the input data into uniform format. Followed by, a hybrid long short-term memory-deep belief network (LSTM-DBN) technique is employed for the recognition and classification of WQ. Moreover, Sparrow search optimization algorithm (SSOA) is utilized as a hyperparameter optimizer of the proposed DBN-LSTM model. For demonstrating the enhanced outcomes of the presented WQP-SSHLSTM model, a sequence of experiments has been performed and the outcomes are reviewed under distinct prospects. The WQP-SSHLSTM model has achieved 99.84 percent accuracy, which is the maximum attainable. The simulation outcomes ensured the enhanced outcomes of the WQP-SSHLSTM model on recent methods.
