Enhancing the Prediction of Influent Total Nitrogen in Wastewater Treatment Plant Using Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System–Gradient-Based Optimization Algorithm

For the accurate estimation of daily influent total nitrogen of sewage plants, a novel hybrid approach is proposed in this study, where a gradient-based optimization (GBO) algorithm is employed to adjust the hyper-parameters of an adaptive neuro-fuzzy system (ANFIS). Several benchmark methods for optimizing ANFIS parameters are compared, which include particle swarm optimization (PSO), gray wolf optimization (GWO), and gradient-based optimization (GBO). The prediction accuracy of the ANFIS-GBO model is evaluated against other models using four statistical measures: root-mean-squared error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), and Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE), and coefficient of determination (R2). Test results show that the suggested ANFIS-GBO outperforms the standalone ANFIS, hybrid ANFIS-PSO and ANFIS-GWO methods in daily influent total nitrogen prediction from the sewage treatment plant. The ANFIS, ANFIS-PSO, ANFIS-GWO, and ANFIS-GBO models are evaluated using seven distinct input combinations to predict daily TNinf. The results from both the testing and training periods demonstrate that these models, namely ANFIS, ANFIS-PSO, ANFIS-GWO, and ANFIS-GBO, exhibit the highest level of accuracy for the seventh input combination (Qw, pH, SS, TP, NH3-N, COD, and BOD5). ANFS-GBO-7 reduced the RMSE in the prediction of ANFIS-7, ANFIS-PSO-7, and ANFIS-GWO-7 by 21.77, 10.73, and 6.81%, respectively, in the test stage. Results from testing and training further demonstrate that increasing the number of parameters (NH3-N, COD, and BOD) as input improves the models’ ability to make predictions. The outcomes show that the ANFIS-GBO model can potentially be suggested for the daily prediction of influent total nitrogen (TNinf) in full-scale wastewater treatment plants.

Fault diagnosis method of switch machine based on adaptive neural fuzzy network

Aiming at the problem of a large number of switch machines, harsh working environment and high frequency of equipment failures caused by many factors, in order to accurately diagnose railway switch machine faults, a switch machine fault diagnosis method based on adaptive neural fuzzy network (ANFIS) optimized by dynamic weight particle swarm (DPSO) algorithm is proposed by analyzing the vibration signals generated during the operation of the switch machine. Firstly, the working vibration signal is decomposed into several intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) and selected by using the ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) algorithm; then, the feature values of IMFs are extracted by using the improved time domain multiscale scatter extraction (ITMDE) algorithm, and then input into the optimized ANFIS model to learn and realize fault diagnosis; finally, the method is compared and analyzed with various diagnostic model algorithms and learning algorithms. The experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively diagnose switch machine faults, which has certain reference significance for intelligent diagnosis of switch machine faults and related research in the future.

Evaluating Volatility Using an ANFIS Model for Financial Time Series Prediction

This paper develops and implements an Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average model with an Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ARIMA-ANFIS) for BTCUSD price prediction and risk assessment. The goal of these forecasts is to identify patterns from past data and achieve an understanding of the future behavior of the price and its volatility. The proposed ARIMA-ANFIS model is compared with a benchmark ARIMA-GARCH model. To evaluated the adequacy of the models in terms of risk assessment, we compare the confidence intervals of the price and accuracy measures for the testing sample. Additionally, we implement the diebold and Mariano test to compare the accuracy of the two volatility forecasts. The results revealed that each volatility model focuses on different aspects of the data dynamics. The ANFIS model, while effective in certain scenarios, may expose one to unexpected risks due to its underestimation of volatility during turbulent periods. On the other hand, the GARCH(1,1) model, by producing higher volatility estimates, may lead to excessive caution, potentially reducing returns.

BackgroundThe target of this paper is to improve the performance of the microbial electrolysis cell (MEC). The performance of MEC including bio-hydrogen production and energy recovery is depending on the values of three controlling parameters including buffer concentration, dilution factor, and applied voltage.ProblemTherefore, defining the optimal values of three controlling parameters is the challenge of the work.MethodologyIn this paper the artificial gorilla troops optimization has been combined with and ANFIS modelling to increase the bio-hydrogen production from MEC. At first, using measured data, a model is created to simulate the MEC in terms of three controlling parameters. Then, for first time, an artificial gorilla troops optimization (AGTO) has been used to determine the optimal values of buffer concentration, dilution factor, and applied voltage to boost simultaneously bio-hydrogen production and energy recovery of MEC. To demonstrate the superiority of integration between ANFIS modelling and AGTO, the obtained results are compared with RSM methodology, and artificial neural network integrated with particle swarm optimization.FindingsFor hydrogen yield model, the RMSE lowered from 67.5 using RSM to 5.562 using ANFIS (decreased by 91.7%) as compared to RSM. The R-square for prediction rises from 0.94 (using RSM) to 0.99 (using ANFIS) by about 5.32%. For the ANFIS model of energy recovery, the RMSE decreased from 31.7 to 2.83 utilising ANFIS, a decrease of 91%. The R-square for prediction rises from 0.95 (using RSM) to 0.986 (using ANFIS) by about 3.8%. Compared with measured data, the integration between ANFIS and AGTO succeed to increase the hydrogen yield from 576.3 mL/g-VS to 843.32 mL/g-VS. in sum, the total performance of the MEC has been increased by 34.74%, 29.9% and 24.38% respectively compared to measured data, RSM and ANN-PSO.

Decoding career success: A personality-based analysis of data science Professional based on ANFIS modeling

Career selection is one of the most important decisions every person faces in their life. Finding the right career path can be a complicated task, particularly in choosing careers with similarly required proficiencies. One of the critical factors affecting a person's career success is their personality, and taking account of this factor is of paramount importance. This study uses the NEO-FFI questionnaire to find personality patterns of software engineering and data science experts based on the Big Five personality traits: Neuroticism, extraversion, openness to experience, agreeableness, and conscientiousness. Afterward, an ANFIS (Adaptive Network-Based Inference System) is conducted using the experts' personality data to match the participants of these fields with their corresponding choices. This study demonstrated that data scientists and software engineers score higher in conscientiousness and agreeableness, respectively. Also, data experts have higher scores in all traits overall. In the end, the ANFIS is tested with another similar dataset and the prediction accuracy of the model is measured.

Experimental and artificial intelligence optimization of paint wastewater (PWW) coagulation using novel Phaseolus vulgaris seed extract (PVSE)

This study investigated the application of artificial intelligence algorithms (AIA) in the coagulation treatment of paint wastewater anchored by novel Phaseolus vulgaris seed extract (PVSE). Untreated wastewater discharge harms the ecosystem, and therefore harmful industrial effluent, such as paint wastewater, must be brought to safe discharge levels before being released into the environment. In addition to AIA, comprehensive characterization tests, coagulation kinetics, and process optimization were also executed. Characterization results revealed that total solid in the PWW was above allowable standard, justifying the need for effective particle decontamination. The XRD and FTIR characterization indicated that PVSE structure is amorphous with abundant amine groups. Results of analysis of variance (ANOVA) obtained from process modeling indicated that the coagulation-flocculation process was a nonlinear quadratic system (F-value = 45.51) which was mostly influenced by PVSE coagulant dosage (F-value = 222.48; standardized effect = 14.85). Artificial intelligence indicated that neural network training effectively captured the nonlinear nature of the system in ANN (RMSE = 0.00040194; R = 0.98497), and ANFIS (RMSE = 0.003961) algorithms. Regression coefficient obtained from process modeling highlighted the suitability of RSM (0.9662), ANN (0.9739), and ANFIS (0.9718) in forecasting the coagulation-flocculation process, while comparative statistical appraisal authenticated the superiority of ANN model over RSM and ANFIS models. The coagulation kinetics experiment, which used a coagulation kinetic model, revealed a constant flocculation constant (Kf-value) for all jar test batches and a strong association between the Menkonu coagulation-flocculation constant (Km) and Kf values. Best removal efficiency of 97.01 % was obtained using ANN coupled genetic algorithm optimization (ANN-GA) at PVSE dosage of 4 g/L, coagulation time of 29 min and temperature of 25.1oC.

Application of artificial intelligence in modeling of nitrate removal process using zero-valent iron nanoparticles-loaded carboxymethyl cellulose.

This study explores nitrate reduction in aqueous solutions using carboxymethyl cellulose loaded with zero-valent iron nanoparticles (Fe0-CMC). The structures of this nano-composite were characterized using various techniques. Based on the characterization results, the specific surface area of Fe0-CMC measured by the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis were 39.6m2/g. In addition, Scanning Electron Microscopy images displayed that spherical nano zero-valent iron particles (nZVI) with an average particle diameter of 80nm are surrounded by carboxymethyl cellulose and no noticeable aggregates were detected. Batch experiments assessed Fe0-CMC's effectiveness in nitrate removal under diverse conditions including different adsorbent dosages (Cs, 2-10mg/L), contact time (t, 10-1440min), initial pH (pHi, 2-10), temperature (T, 10-55°C), and initial concentration of nitrate (C0, 10-500mg/L). Results indicated decreased removal with higher initial pHi and C0, while increased Cs and T enhanced removal. The study of nitrate removal mechanism by Fe0-CMC revealed that the redox reaction between immobilized nZVI on the CMC surface and nitrate ions was responsible for nitrate removal, and the main product of this reaction was ammonium, which was subsequently completely removed by the synthesized nanocomposite. In addition, a stable deviation quantum particle swarm optimization algorithm (SD-QPSO) and a least square error method were employed to train the ANFIS parameters. To demonstrate model performance, a quadratic polynomial function was proposed to display the performance of the SD-QPSO algorithm in which the constant parameters were optimized through the SD-QPSO algorithm. Sensitivity analysis was conducted on the proposed quadratic polynomial function by adding a constant deviation and removing each input using two different strategies. According to the sensitivity analysis, the predicted removal efficiency was most sensitive to changes in pHi, followed by Cs, T, C0, and t. The obtained results underscore the potential of the ANFIS model (R2 = 0.99803, RMSE = 0.9888), and polynomial function (R2 = 0.998256, RMSE = 1.7532) as accurate and efficient alternatives to time-consuming laboratory measurements for assessing nitrate removal efficiency. These models can offer rapid insights and predictions regarding the impact of various factors on the process, saving both time and resources.

A Comparative Analysis of ARX and ANFIS Models for Tumor Growth Prediction Under Single and Multi-agent Chemotherapy.

Despite the advances in oncology and cancer treatment over the past decades, cancer remains one of the deadliest diseases. This study focuses on further understanding the complex nature of cancer by using mathematical tumor modeling to understand, capture as best as possible, and describe its complex dynamics under chemotherapy treatment. Focusing on autoregressive with exogenous inputs, i.e., ARX, and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system, i.e., ANFIS, models, this work investigates tumor growth dynamics under both single and combination anticancer agent chemotherapy treatments using chemotherapy treatment data on xenografted mice. Four ARX and ANFIS models for tumor growth inhibition were developed, estimated, and evaluated, demonstrating a strong correlation with tumor weight data, with ANFIS models showing superior performance in handling the multi-agent tumor growth complexities. These findings suggest potential clinical applications of the ANFIS models through further testing. Both types of models were also tested for their prediction capabilities across different chemotherapy schedules, with accurate forecasting of tumor growth up to five days in advance. The use of adaptive prediction and sliding (moving) data window techniques allowed for continuous model updating, ensuring more robust predictive capabilities. However, long-term forecasting remains a challenge, with accuracy declining over longer prediction horizons. While ANFIS models showed greater reliability in predictions, the simplicity and rapid deployment of ARX models offer advantages in situations requiring immediate approximations. Future research with larger, more diverse datasets and by exploring varying model complexities is recommended to improve the models' reliability and applicability in clinical decision-making, thereby aiding the development of personalized chemotherapy regimens.

Unveiling optimal half-cell potentials in RCC slabs through cutting-edge ANFIS, ANN and genetic algorithm integration

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to compare the prediction models for half-cell potential (HCP) of RCC slabs cathodically protected using pure magnesium anodes and subjected to chloride ingress.The models for HCP using 1,134 data set values based on experimentation are developed and compared using ANFIS, artificial neural network (ANN) and integrated ANN-GA algorithms.Design/methodology/approachIn this study, RCC slabs, 1000 mm × 1000 mm × 100 mm were cast. Five slabs were cast with 3.5% NaCl by weight of cement, and five more were cast without NaCl. The distance of the point under consideration from the anode in the x- and y-axes, temperature, relative humidity and age of the slab in days were the input parameters, while the HCP values with reference to the Standard Calomel Electrode were the output. Experimental values consisting of 80 HCP values per slab per day were collected for 270 days and were averaged for both cases to generate the prediction model.FindingsIn this study, the premise and consequent parameters are trained, validated and tested using ANFIS, ANN and by using ANN as fitness function of GA. The MAPE, RMSE and MAE of the ANFIS model were 24.57, 1702.601 and 871.762, respectively. Amongst the ANN algorithms, Levenberg−Marquardt (LM) algorithm outperforms the other methods, with an overall R-value of 0.983. GA with ANN as the objective function proves to be the best means for the development of prediction model.Originality/valueBased on the original experimental values, the performance of ANFIS, ANN and GA with ANN as objective function provides excellent results.

Comparative study for the performance of pure artificial intelligence software sensor and self-organizing map assisted software sensor in predicting 5-day biochemical oxygen demand for Kauma Sewage Treatment Plant effluent in Malawi

Introduction: Modeling plays a crucial role in understanding wastewater treatment processes, yet conventional deterministic models face challenges due to complexity and uncertainty. Artificial intelligence offers an alternative, requiring no prior system knowledge. This study tested the reliability of the Adaptive Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS), an artificial intelligence algorithm that integrates both neural networks and fuzzy logic principles, to predict effluent Biochemical Oxygen Demand. An important indicator of organic pollution in wastewater.Materials and Methods: The ANFIS models were developed and validated with historical wastewater quality data for the Kauma Sewage Treatment Plant located in Lilongwe City, Malawi. A Self Organizing Map (SOM) was applied to extract features of the raw data to enhance the performance of ANFIS. Cost-effective, quicker, and easier-to-measure variables were selected as possible predictors while using their respective correlations with effluent. Influents’ temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, and effluent chemical oxygen demand were among the model predictors.Results and Discussions: The comparative results demonstrated that for the same model structure, the ANFIS model achieved correlation coefficients (R) of 0.92, 0.90, and 0.81 during training, testing, and validation respectively, whereas the SOM-assisted ANFIS Model achieved R Values of 0.99, 0.87 and 0.94. Overall, despite the slight decrease in R-value during the testing stage, the SOM- assisted ANFIS model outperformed the traditional ANFIS model in terms of predictive capability. A graphic user interface was developed to improve user interaction and friendliness of the developed model. Integration of the developed model with supervisory control and data acquisition system is recommended. The study also recommends widening the application of the developed model, by retraining it with data from other wastewater treatment facilities and rivers in Malawi.

Prediction of the tensile strength of a tropical wood species Terminalia superba assembled by gluing: a comparative intelligent study

ABSTRACT The present study deals with the prediction of the strength of the glue joint stressed in tension on a local wood species called Terminalia Superba (Fraké) assembled according to the bevel configuration using two artificial intelligence models namely ANFIS and LSTM. The experimental data obtained during tensile tests on a tropical species allowed us to determine the mechanical properties taken as structural parameters for the LSTM and ANFIS models. The results of the analysis show that among all the LSTM methods, LSTM ‘ADAM’ offers a low root mean square error (RMSE), a high accuracy (Acc) (RMSE = 2.16, Acc = 0.756). For all methods, ANFIS obtained the best results, a high R-squared and a very low root mean square error (RMSE) (R-squared = 0.979, RMSE = 0.51). This indicates that the prediction of the tensile strength of the adhesive joint is more satisfactory with ANFIS than with LSTM.

Leveraging ANFIS with Adam and PSO optimizers for Parkinson's disease

Parkinson's disease (PD) is an age-related neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor deficits, including tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia, and postural instability. According to the World Health Organization, about 1 % of the global population has been diagnosed with PD, and this figure is expected to double by 2040. Early and accurate diagnosis of PD is critical to slowing down the progression of the disease and reducing long-term disability. Due to the complexity of the disease, it is difficult to accurately diagnose it using traditional clinical tests. Therefore, it has become necessary to develop intelligent diagnostic models that can accurately detect PD. This article introduces a novel hybrid approach for accurate prediction of PD using an ANFIS with two optimizers, namely Adam and PSO. ANFIS is a type of fuzzy logic system used for nonlinear function approximation and classification, while Adam optimizer has the ability to adaptively adjust the learning rate of each individual parameter in an ANFIS at each training step, which helps the model find a better solution more quickly. PSO is a metaheuristic approach inspired by the behavior of social animals such as birds. Combining these two methods has potential to provide improved accuracy and robustness in PD diagnosis compared to existing methods. The proposed method utilized the advantages of both optimization techniques and applied them on the developed ANFIS model to maximize its prediction accuracy. This system was developed by using an open access clinical and demographic data. The chosen parameters for the ANFIS were selected through a comparative experimental analysis to optimize the model considering the number of fuzzy membership functions, number of epochs of ANFIS, and number of particles of PSO. The performance of the two ANFIS models: ANFIS (Adam) and ANFIS (PSO) focusing at ANFIS parameters and various evaluation metrics are further analyzed in detail and presented, The experimental results showed that the proposed ANFIS (PSO) shows better results in terms of loss and precision, whereas, the ANFIS (Adam) showed the better results in terms of accuracy, f1-score and recall. Thus, this adaptive neural-fuzzy algorithm provides a promising strategy for the diagnosis of PD, and show that the proposed models show their suitability for many other practical applications.

Carbamazepine Adsorption onto Giant Macroporous Silica and Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System Modeling

AbstractThere is an imperative need to eliminate pharmaceutical residues from aquatic environments due to their hazardous properties, including toxicity, mutagenicity, and carcinogenicity, particularly when present in water sources. Conventional water treatment methods have proven insufficient in addressing nano-pollutants such as pharmaceutical residues. Consequently, the ongoing quest for economically viable, sustainable, and environmentally friendly removal mechanisms persists. In this particular study, we employed Giant Macroporous Silica (GMS) derived from marine sponges as a promising biosorbent. GMS exhibits commendable characteristics, including a high specific surface area, swift mass transfer capabilities, and non-discriminatory adsorption qualities. The efficacy of GMS in adsorbing carbamazepine (CBZ), a common drug residue, was scrutinized under diverse experimental conditions, including a sorbate/sorbent ratio ranging from 0.005 to 1.500 weight ratio, contact times spanning from 0 to 240 min, and initial pH values ranging from 5 to 9. Remarkably, at a concentration of 1000 µg L−1, GMS demonstrated an attractive adsorption rate (98.88%) of carbamazepine at pH 7.07, within 90 min. To enhance our understanding, we developed an ANFIS model utilizing the experimental parameters as inputs. The developed model exhibited a high correlation coefficient of 0.9944% and a root mean square error (RMSE) of 1.6693, indicating its dependability in accurately predicting the adsorption of CBZ on GMS. The results of our study highlight the efficacy of GMS in adsorbing CBZ, suggesting its considerable potential for adsorbing other pharmaceutical residues and nano-pollutants. Furthermore, we propose the possibility of developing a solid-phase extraction cartridge from GMS.

Predictive Modeling and Experimental Validation for Assessing the Mechanical Properties of Cementitious Composites Made with Silica Fume and Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag

Using sustainable cement-based alternatives, such as secondary cementitious raw materials (SCMs), could be a viable option to decrease CO2 emissions resulting from cement production. Previously conducted studies to determine the optimal mix designs of concrete primarily focused on either experimental approaches or empirical modeling techniques. However, in these experimental approaches, few tests could be performed for optimization due to time restrictions and lack of resources, and empirical modeling methods cannot be relied on without external validation. The machine learning-based approaches are further characterized by certain shortcomings, including a smaller number of data points, a less robust connection among the controlling factors, and a lack of comparative analyses among machine learning models. Furthermore, the literature on predicting the performance of concrete utilizing binary SCMs (silica fume (SF) and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS)) is not available. Therefore, to address these drawbacks, this research aimed to integrate ML-based models with experimental validations for accurate predictions of the compressive strength (CS) and tensile strength (TS) of concrete that includes SF and GGBS as SCMs. Three soft computing techniques, namely the ANN, ANFIS, and GEP methods, were used for prediction purposes. Eight major input parameters, including the W/B ratio, cement, GGBS, SF, coarse aggregates, fine aggregates, superplasticizer, and the age of the specimens, were considered for modeling. The validity of the established models was assessed by using external experimental validation criteria, statistical metrics, and performance measures. In addition, sensitivity and parametric analyses were performed. Based on statistical measures, the ANFIS models outperformed other models with higher correlation and lower statistical error values. However, the GEP models exhibited superior performance compared to ANFIS and ANN with respect to the closeness of the RMSE, MAE, RSE, and R2 values between the training, validation, and testing sets for both the CS and TS models. Experimental validation showed strong evidence for the applicability of the proposed models with an R2 of 0.88 and error percentages of less than 10%. Sensitivity and parametric investigations demonstrated that the input variables exhibited the patterns described in the experimental dataset and the available literature. Hence, the proposed models are accurate, have better prediction performance, and can be used for design purposes.

Supporting ANFIS interpolation for image super resolution with fuzzy rough feature selection

Image Super-Resolution (ISR) is utilised to generate a high-resolution image from a low-resolution one. However, most current techniques for ISR confront three main constraints: i) the assumption that there is sufficient data available for training, ii) the presumption that areas of the images concerned do not involve missing data, and iii) the development of a computationally efficient model that does not compromise performance. In addressing these issues, this study proposes a novel lightweight approach termed Fuzzy Rough Feature Selection-based ANFIS Interpolation (FRFS-ANFISI) for ISR. Popular feature extraction algorithms are employed to extract the potentially significant features from images, and population-based search mechanisms are utilised to implement effective FRFS methods that assist in selecting the most important features among them. Subsequently, the processed data is entered into the ANFIS interpolation model to execute the ISR operation. To tackle the sparse data challenge, two adjacent ANFIS models are trained with sufficient data where appropriate, intending to position the ANFIS model of sparse data in the middle. This enables the two neighbouring ANFIS models to be interpolated to produce the otherwise missing knowledge or rules for the model in between, thereby estimating the corresponding outcomes. Conducted on standard ISR benchmark datasets while considering both sufficient and sparse data scenarios, the experimental studies demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed approach in helping deal with the aforementioned challenges facing ISR.
