    Damage level prediction of non-reshaped berm breakwater using ANN, SVM and ANFIS models
    (Society of Naval Architects of Korea, 2012) Mandal, S.; Rao, S.; Narayana, N.; Lokesha, u.
    The damage analysis of coastal structure is very important as it involves many design parameters to be considered for the better and safe design of structure. In the present study experimental data for non-reshaped berm breakwater are collected from Marine Structures Laboratory, Department of Applied Mechanics and Hydraulics, NITK, Surathkal, India. Soft computing techniques like Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference system (ANFIS) models are constructed using experimental data sets to predict the damage level of non-reshaped berm breakwater. The experimental data are used to train ANN, SVM and ANFIS models and results are determined in terms of statistical measures like mean square error, root mean square error, correla-tion coefficient and scatter index. The result shows that soft computing techniques i.e., ANN, SVM and ANFIS can be efficient tools in predicting damage levels of non reshaped berm breakwater. ©SNAK, 2012.

    Artificial intelligence models for predicting the performance of biological wastewater treatment plant in the removal of Kjeldahl Nitrogen from wastewater
    (Springer Verlag, 2017) Manu, D.S.; Thalla, A.K.
    The current work demonstrates the support vector machine (SVM) and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) modeling to assess the removal efficiency of Kjeldahl Nitrogen of a full-scale aerobic biological wastewater treatment plant. The influent variables such as pH, chemical oxygen demand, total solids (TS), free ammonia, ammonia nitrogen and Kjeldahl Nitrogen are used as input variables during modeling. Model development focused on postulating an adaptive, functional, real-time and alternative approach for modeling the removal efficiency of Kjeldahl Nitrogen. The input variables used for modeling were daily time series data recorded at wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) located in Mangalore during the period June 2014–September 2014. The performance of ANFIS model developed using Gbell and trapezoidal membership functions (MFs) and SVM are assessed using different statistical indices like root mean square error, correlation coefficients (CC) and Nash Sutcliff error (NSE). The errors related to the prediction of effluent Kjeldahl Nitrogen concentration by the SVM modeling appeared to be reasonable when compared to that of ANFIS models with Gbell and trapezoidal MF. From the performance evaluation of the developed SVM model, it is observed that the approach is capable to define the inter-relationship between various wastewater quality variables and thus SVM can be potentially applied for evaluating the efficiency of aerobic biological processes in WWTP. © 2017, The Author(s).

    Machine learning-based modeling of saturated hydraulic conductivity in soils of tropical semi-arid zone of India
    (Springer, 2022) More, S.B.; Deka, P.C.; Patil, A.P.; Naganna, S.R.
    Saturated hydraulic conductivity (Kfs) is the major parameter that affects the movement of water and solutes in soil strata. Although one can estimate the Kfs directly by using various field or laboratory methods, they turn out to be more time-consuming and painstaking while characterizing the spatial variability of Kfs. For this reason, some recent researches employ indirect approaches such as pedotransfer functions (PTF) and surface modeling methods for estimating Kfs of several scales. Pedotransfer functions are often developed by relating the Kfs with readily available soil properties such as bulk density, porosity, sand content, silt content, and organic material. The present research explores the suitability of Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) in developing PTF's for Kfs by using basic soil properties. In-situ field tests and laboratory experiments on collected samples were performed to acquire the datasets necessary for the analysis. Three competitive soft computing approaches, namely the ELM, Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) based on Fuzzy C-means Clustering optimized by Genetic Algorithm were exercised for developing the Kfs models. Further, the performance of these approaches in modeling Kfs was evaluated using various statistical mertics. The performance of ELM was found to be good in comparison to the other two models, with sufficiently good NSE values. The ELM model provided Kfs predictions at the Murarji Peth and Punanaka sites with an NSE of 0.90 and 0.83, respectively, while at the Mulegoan site, the ANFIS model was better with R = 0.80 and NSE = 0.64. © 2022, Indian Academy of Sciences.

    ANFIS-based soft computing models for forecasting effective drought index over an arid region of India
    (IWA Publishing, 2023) Kikon, A.; Dodamani, B.M.; Deb Barma, S.D.; Naganna, S.R.
    Drought is a natural hazard that is characterized by a low amount of precipitation in a region. In order to evaluate the drought-related issues that cause chaos for human well-being, drought indices have become increasingly important. In this study, the monthly precipitation data from 1964 to 2013 (about 50 years) of the Jodhpur district in the drought-prone Rajasthan state of India was used to derive the effective drought index (EDI). The machine learning models hybridized with evolutionary optimizers such as the genetic algorithm adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (GA-ANFIS) and particle swarm optimization ANFIS (PSO-ANFIS) were used in addition to the generalized regression neural network (GRNN) to predict the EDI index. Using the partial autocorrelation function (PACF), models for forecasting the monthly EDI were constructed with 2-, 3- and 5-input combinations to evaluate their outcomes based on various performance indices. The results of the different combination models were compared. With reference to 2-input and 3-input combination models, both GA-ANFIS and PSO-ANFIS show better performance results with R2 ¼ 0.75, while among the models with 5-input combination, GA-ANFIS depicts better performance results compared to other models with R2 ¼ 0.78. The results are presented suitably with the aid of scatter plots, Taylor’s diagram and violin plots. Overall, the GA-ANFIS and PSO-ANFIS models outperformed the GRNN model. © 2023 The Authors.
