Fuel consumption prediction for pre-departure flights using attention-based multi-modal fusion

Improper fuel loading decision results in carrying excessive dead weight during flight operation, which will burden the airline operation cost and cause extra waste emission. Existing works mainly focused on the post-event fuel consumption based on flight trajectory. In this work, a novel deep learning model, called FCPNet, is proposed to...

DACOOP-A: Decentralized Adaptive Cooperative Pursuit via Attention

Integrating rule-based policies into reinforcement learning promises to improve data efficiency and generalization in cooperative pursuit problems. However, most implementations do not properly distinguish the influence of neighboring robots in observation embedding or inter-robot interaction rules, leading to information loss and inefficient...

Real-time pipeline leak detection and localization using an attention-based LSTM approach

Long short-term memory (LSTM) has been widely applied to real-time automated natural gas leak detection and localization. However, LSTM approach could not provide the interpretation that this leak position is localized instead of other positions. This study proposes a leakage detection and localization approach by integrating the attention...

Automated actual evapotranspiration estimation: Hybrid model of a novel attention based U-Net and metaheuristic optimization algorithms

Actual evapotranspiration (ET_a) plays a crucial role in the water and energy cycles of the earth. An accurate estimate of the ET_a is essential for management of the water resources, agriculture, and irrigation, as well as research on atmospheric variations. Despite the importance of accurate ET_a values,...

An Attention Module for Convolutional Neural Networks

Attention mechanism has been regarded as an advanced technique to capture long-range feature interactions and to boost the representation capability for convolutional neural networks. However, we found two ignored problems in current attentional activations-based models: the approximation problem and the insufficient capacity problem of the...
