Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Inferences about the prospective state of natural and man-made systems play a major role in designing better infrastructure and assessing the resiliency of current ones. The rapid change of such systems' responses prompts the urgent need to re-evaluate our understanding of the evolution of such systems. New predictive analytics are, hence, important for all energy, water and earth aspects of sustainable infrastructure. Ensemble learning, a branch of artificial intelligence, ushers innovative modeling approaches which are recent advancements in machine learning. According to a predefined ensemble architecture, a number of machine learners are generated and their inferences are integrated to produce stable and improved generalization ability. In order to advance the utilization of ensemble learning in sustainable infrastructure applications, along with developing novel ensemble frameworks, an interdisciplinary research approach is essential. To this extent, this dissertation deals with the development of generalized ensemble learning frameworks, inspired from a wide range of recent engineering problems in energy, water and earth. The results from a comprehensive ensemble analysis approach for the problem of seismic-induced liquefaction prediction emphasizes on the importance of the diversity-in-learning concept, which facilitates the development of a novel ensemble framework to exploit the diversity concept and tackle the requirements of the decentralized and disaggregated energy forecasting problems. The latter is a crucial research endeavor to develop stable ensemble-based regression models for time series forecasting, in general, and helps in innovating a new class of hybrid ensemble learning frameworks which are used in the design of flood detection systems.

Teacher imitation

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.
