Effects of weather data on traffic flow predictions using an LSTM deep learning model

Accurate traffic forecasts are a key element in improving the traffic flow of urban cities. An efficient approach to this problem is to use a deep learning Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) model. Including weather data in the model can improve prediction accuracy because traffic volumes are sensitive to weather changes. The aim of this study is to...

Short-term Earthquake Prediction with Deep Neural Networks: Finding the optimal time prior to earthquake strikes to use in predictions

Earthquakes can have tremendous effects. They can result in casualties, massive damage, and hurt the economy. Therefore, one would like to predict earthquakes as early as possible and with the highest accuracy possible. This paper contains the proposal for the optimal prediction-time, which is the time between the execution of a prediction and...

Improving the performance of Recurrent Neural Networks for time series prediction by combining Long Short-Term Memory and Attention Long Short-Term Memory

Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) used in time series prediction are still not perfect in their predictions and improvements can still be made in the area. Most recently transformers have led to great improvements in the field of RNNs, however transformers can not be used on time series data, because the architecture of transformers does not...

Application of Deep Learning for Spacecraft Fault Detection and Isolation

Spacecraft require high availability, autonomous operation, and a high degree of mission success. Spacecraft use sensors, such as star trackers and GPS, and actuators, such as reaction wheels, to reach and maintain a correct attitude and position. Failures in these components will have a significant negative impact on the success of the mission,...
