- Abstract: Risk-based assessment in pipe condition mainly focuses on prioritizing the
most critical assets by evaluating the risk of pipe failure. This paper's goal
is to classify a comprehensive pipe rating model which is obtained based on a
series of pipe physical, external, and hydraulic characteristics that are
identified for the proposed methodology. The traditional manual method of
assessing sewage structural conditions takes a long time. By building an
automated process using K-Nearest Neighbors (K-NN), this study presents an
effective technique to automate the identification of the pipe defect rating
using the pipe repair data. First, we performed the Shapiro Wilks Test for 1240
data from the Dept. of Engineering & Environmental Services, Shreveport,
Louisiana Phase 3 with 12 variables to determine if factors could be
incorporated in the final rating. We then developed a K-Nearest Neighbors model
to classify the final rating from the statistically significant factors
identified in Shapiro Wilks Test. This classification process allows
recognizing the worst condition of wastewater pipes that need to be replaced
immediately. This comprehensive model is built according to the
industry-accepted and used guidelines to estimate the overall condition.
Finally, for validation purposes, the proposed model is applied to a small
portion of a US wastewater collection system in Shreveport, Louisiana.

Flood inundation forecast provides critical information for emergency planning before and during flood events.
High-resolution hydrodynamic modeling has become more accessible in recent years, however, predicting flood extents at the street and building levels in real-time is still computationally demanding.
We present a hybrid process-based and data-driven machine learning (ML) approach for flood extent and inundation depth prediction.

Degradation of sewer pipes poses significant economical, environmental and health concerns.
The development of such plans requires degradation models that can be based on statistical and machine learning methods.
This work proposes a methodology to assess their suitability to plan inspections considering three dimensions: accuracy metrics, ability to produce long-term degradation curves and explainability.

In this paper, we propose an alternative, the implicit delta method, which works by infinitesimally regularizing the training loss of uncertainty.
We show that the change in the evaluation due to regularization is consistent for the variance of the evaluation estimator, even when the infinitesimal change is approximated by a finite difference.

We learn a unified pattern that is superimposed onto features of original data, and the model's detection capability is largely boosted after watermarking.

Inferring the parameters of a model based on experimental observations is central to the scientific method.
A particularly challenging setting is when the model is strongly indeterminate, i.e., when distinct sets of parameters yield identical observations.
We present a method for cracking such indeterminacy by exploiting additional information conveyed by an auxiliary set of observations sharing global parameters.
