Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Soil thermal conductivity plays a critical role in the design of geo-structures and energy transportation systems. Effective thermal conductivity (ETC) of soil depends primarily on the degree of saturation, porosity and mineralogical composition. These controlling parameters have nonlinear dependencies, thus making prediction a nontrivial task. In this study, an artificial neural network (ANN) model is developed based on the deep learning (DL) algorithm to predict the effective thermal conductivity of unsaturated soil. A large dataset is constructed including porosity, degree of saturation and quartz content from literature to train and validate the developed model. The model is constructed with a different number of hidden layers and neurons in each hidden layer. The standard errors for training and testing are calculated for each variation of hidden layers and neurons. The network with the least error is adopted for prediction. Two sand types independent of training and validation data reported in the literature are considered for prediction of the ETC. Five simulation runs are performed for each sand, and the computed results are plotted against the reported experimental results. The results conclude that the developed ANN model provides an efficient, easy and straightforward way to predict soil thermal conductivity with reasonable accuracy.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
