• Abstract: This paper models the availability of bikes at San Francisco Bay Area Bike Share stations using machine learning algorithms. Random Forest (RF) and Least-Squares Boosting (LSBoost) were used as univariate regression algorithms, and Partial Least-Squares Regression (PLSR) was applied as a multivariate regression algorithm. The univariate models were used to model the number of available bikes at each station. PLSR was applied to reduce the number of required prediction models and reflect the spatial correlation between stations in the network. Results clearly show that univariate models have lower error predictions than the multivariate model. However, the multivariate model results are reasonable for networks with a relatively large number of spatially correlated stations. Results also show that station neighbors and the prediction horizon time are significant predictors. The most effective prediction horizon time that produced the least prediction error was 15 minutes.

• Relaxed Quantile Regression: Prediction Intervals for Asymmetric Noise [51.87307904567702]
  Quantile regression is a leading approach for obtaining such intervals via the empirical estimation of quantiles in the distribution of outputs. We propose Relaxed Quantile Regression (RQR), a direct alternative to quantile regression based interval construction that removes this arbitrary constraint. We demonstrate that this added flexibility results in intervals with an improvement in desirable qualities.

• Reduced-order modeling of unsteady fluid flow using neural network ensembles [0.0]
  We propose using bagging, a commonly used ensemble learning technique, to develop a fully data-driven reduced-order model framework. The framework uses CAEs for spatial reconstruction of the full-order model and LSTM ensembles for time-series prediction. Results show that the presented framework effectively reduces error propagation and leads to more accurate time-series prediction of latent variables at unseen points.

  This paper proposes a traffic propagation model that merges multiple heat diffusion kernels into a data-driven prediction model to forecast traffic signals. We optimize the model parameters using Bayesian inference to minimize the prediction errors and, consequently, determine the mixing ratio of the two approaches. The proposed model demonstrates prediction accuracy comparable to that of the state-of-the-art deep neural networks with lower computational effort.
