A Hybrid Ensemble Learning Approach Utilizing Light Gradient Boosting Machine and Category Boosting Model for Lifestyle-Based Prediction of Type-II Diabetes Mellitus

Addressing classification and prediction challenges, tree ensemble models have gained significant importance. Boosting ensemble techniques are commonly employed for forecasting Type-II diabetes mellitus. Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LightGBM) is a widely used algorithm known for its leaf growth strategy, loss reduction, and enhanced training precision. However, LightGBM is prone to overfitting. In contrast, CatBoost utilizes balanced base predictors known as decision tables, which mitigate overfitting risks and significantly improve testing time efficiency. CatBoost’s algorithm structure counteracts gradient boosting biases and incorporates an overfitting detector to stop training early. This study focuses on developing a hybrid model that combines LightGBM and CatBoost to minimize overfitting and improve accuracy by reducing variance. For the purpose of finding the best hyperparameters to use with the underlying learners, the Bayesian hyperparameter optimization method is used. By fine-tuning the regularization parameter values, the hybrid model effectively reduces variance (overfitting). Comparative evaluation against LightGBM, CatBoost, XGBoost, Decision Tree, Random Forest, AdaBoost, and GBM algorithms demonstrates that the hybrid model has the best F1-score (99.37%), recall (99.25%), and accuracy (99.37%). Consequently, the proposed framework holds promise for early diabetes prediction in the healthcare industry and exhibits potential applicability to other datasets sharing similarities with diabetes.

Rapid Prediction Model for Urban Floods Based on a Light Gradient Boosting Machine Approach and Hydrological–Hydraulic Model

Global climate change and sea level rise have led to increased losses from flooding.Accurate prediction of floods is essential to mitigating flood losses in coastal cities.Physically based models cannot satisfy the demand for real-time prediction for urban flooding due to their computational complexity.In this study,we proposed a hybrid modeling approach for rapid prediction of urban floods,coupling the physically based model with the light gradient boosting machine(LightGBM)model.A hydrological–hydraulic model was used to provide sufficient data for the LightGBM model based on the personal computer storm water management model(PCSWMM).The variables related to rainfall,tide level,and the location of flood points were used as the input for the LightGBM model.To improve the prediction accuracy,the hyperparameters of the LightGBM model are optimized by grid search algorithm and K-fold cross-validation.Taking Haidian Island,Hainan Province,China as a case study,the optimum values of the learning rate,number of estimators,and number of leaves of the LightGBM model are 0.11,450,and 12,respectively.The Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency coefficient(NSE)of the LightGBM model on the test set is 0.9896,indicating that the LightGBM model has reliable predictions and outperforms random forest(RF),extreme gradient boosting(XGBoost),and k-nearest neighbor(KNN).From the LightGBM model,the variables related to tide level were analyzed as the dominant variables for predicting the inundation depth based on the Gini index in the study area.The proposed LightGBM model provides a scientific reference for flood control in coastal cities considering its superior performance and computational efficiency.

Software Defined Networking(SDN)has emerged as a promising and exciting option for the future growth of the internet.SDN has increased the flexibility and transparency of the managed,centralized,and controlled network.On the other hand,these advantages create a more vulnerable environment with substantial risks,culminating in network difficulties,system paralysis,online banking frauds,and robberies.These issues have a significant detrimental impact on organizations,enterprises,and even economies.Accuracy,high performance,and real-time systems are necessary to achieve this goal.Using a SDN to extend intelligent machine learning methodologies in an Intrusion Detection System(IDS)has stimulated the interest of numerous research investigators over the last decade.In this paper,a novel HFS-LGBM IDS is proposed for SDN.First,the Hybrid Feature Selection algorithm consisting of two phases is applied to reduce the data dimension and to obtain an optimal feature subset.In thefirst phase,the Correlation based Feature Selection(CFS)algorithm is used to obtain the feature subset.The optimal feature set is obtained by applying the Random Forest Recursive Feature Elimination(RF-RFE)in the second phase.A LightGBM algorithm is then used to detect and classify different types of attacks.The experimental results based on NSL-KDD dataset show that the proposed system produces outstanding results compared to the existing methods in terms of accuracy,precision,recall and f-measure.

Classification of aviation incident causes using LGBM with improved cross-validation

Aviation accidents are currently one of the leading causes of significant injuries and deaths worldwide. This entices researchers to investigate aircraft safety using data analysis approaches based on an advanced machine learning algorithm.To assess aviation safety and identify the causes of incidents, a classification model with light gradient boosting machine (LGBM)based on the aviation safety reporting system (ASRS) has been developed. It is improved by k-fold cross-validation with hybrid sampling model (HSCV), which may boost classification performance and maintain data balance. The results show that employing the LGBM-HSCV model can significantly improve accuracy while alleviating data imbalance. Vertical comparison with other cross-validation (CV) methods and lateral comparison with different fold times comprise the comparative approach. Aside from the comparison, two further CV approaches based on the improved method in this study are discussed:one with a different sampling and folding order, and the other with more CV. According to the assessment indices with different methods, the LGBMHSCV model proposed here is effective at detecting incident causes. The improved model for imbalanced data categorization proposed may serve as a point of reference for similar data processing, and the model’s accurate identification of civil aviation incident causes can assist to improve civil aviation safety.

Data-driven model for predicting production periods in the SAGD process

Many studies have analyzed the cumulative production performance in the SAGD(steam assisted gravity drainage)process by data-driven models but a study based on these models for a dynamic analysis of a SAGD production period is still rare.It is important for engineers to define the production period in a SAGD process as it has a stable and high oil production rate and engineers need to reset operational conditions after the production period starts.In this paper,a series of SAGD models were constructed with selected ranges of reservoir properties and operational conditions.Three SAGD production period parameters,including the start date,end date,and duration,are collected based on the simulated production performances.artificial neural network,extreme gradient boosting,light gradient boosting machine,and catboost were constructed to reveal the hidden relationships between twelve input parameters and three output parameters.The data-driven models were trained,tested,and evaluated.The results showed that compared with the other output parameters,the R^(2) of the end date is the highest and it becomes higher with a larger training data set.The extreme gradient boosting algorithm is a better choice to predict the Start date while the artificial neural network generates better prediction for the other two output parameters.This study shows a significant potential in the use of data-driven models for the SAGD production dynamic analysis.The results also serve to support the utilization of the datadriven models as efficient tools for predicting a SAGD production period.
