Modelling Temperature Variation of Mushroom Growing Hall Using Artificial Neural Networks

The recent developments of computer and electronic systems have made the use of intelligent systems for the automation of agricultural industries. In this study, the temperature variation of the mushroom growing room was modeled by multi-layered perceptron and radial basis function networks based on independent parameters including ambient temperature, water temperature, fresh air and circulation air dampers, and water tap. According to the obtained results from the networks, the best network for MLP was in the second repetition with 12 neurons in the hidden layer and in 20 neurons in the hidden layer for radial basis function network. The obtained results from comparative parameters for two networks showed the highest correlation coefficient (0.966), the lowest root mean square error (RMSE) (0.787) and the lowest mean absolute error (MAE) (0.02746) for radial basis function. Therefore, the neural network with radial basis function was selected as a predictor of the behavior of the system for the temperature of mushroom growing halls controlling system

Predictive modelling of soils’ hydraulic conductivity using artificial neural network and multiple linear regression

As a result of heterogeneity nature of soils and variation in its hydraulic conductivity over several orders of magnitude for various soil types from fine-grained to coarse-grained soils, predictive methods to estimate hydraulic conductivity of soils from properties considered more easily obtainable have now been given an appropriate consideration. This study evaluates the performance of artificial neural network (ANN) being one of the popular computational intelligence techniques in predicting hydraulic conductivity of wide range of soil types and compared with the traditional multiple linear regression (MLR). ANN and MLR models were developed using six input variables. Results revealed that only three input variables were statistically significant in MLR model development. Performance evaluations of the developed models using determination coefficient and mean square error show that the prediction capability of ANN is far better than MLR. In addition, comparative study with available existing models shows that the developed ANN and MLR in this study performed relatively better

Survey of computational intelligence as basis to big flood management: Challenges, research directions and future work

Flooding produces debris and waste including liquids, dead animal bodies and hazardous materials such as hospital waste. Debris causes serious threats to people’s health and can even block the roads used to give emergency aid, worsening the situation. To cope with these issues, flood management systems (FMSs) are adopted for the decision-making process of critical situations. Nowadays, conventional artificial intelligence and computational intelligence (CI) methods are applied to early flood event detection, having a low false alarm rate. City authorities can then provide quick and efficient response in post-disaster scenarios. This paper aims to present a comprehensive survey about the application of CI-based methods in FMSs. CI approaches are categorized as single and hybrid methods. The paper also identifies and introduces the most promising approaches nowadays with respect to the accuracy and error rate for flood debris forecasting and management. Ensemble CI approaches are shown to be highly efficient for flood prediction
