A Kriging surrogate model coupled in simulation-optimization approach for identifying release history of groundwater sources

TL;DR: The results of three hypothetical cases demonstrate that the Kriging model has the ability to solve groundwater contaminant source problems that could occur during field site source identification problems with a high degree of accuracy and short computation times and is thus very robust.

New approach for point pollution source identification in rivers based on the backward probability method.

TL;DR: A new approach for point source identification of sudden water pollution in rivers, which aims to determine where (source location), when (release time) and how much pollutant was introduced into the river, is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Groundwater System Modeling for Simultaneous Identification of Pollution Sources and Parameters with Uncertainty Characterization

TL;DR: In this paper, a Groundwater flow and transport simulation model is used to generate necessary data for Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) model building processes, and breakthrough curves obtained for specified pollution scenario are characterized to reduce the inputs to ANN model.

Identifying groundwater contaminant sources based on a KELM surrogate model together with four heuristic optimization algorithms

TL;DR: To improve the efficiency of identifying groundwater contaminant sources, a kernel-based extreme learning machine was used as a surrogate for the time-consuming simulation model, and four heuristic search algorithms were used to improve the accuracy of the identification results.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparative study of surrogate models for groundwater contamination source identification at DNAPL-contaminated sites

TL;DR: It was found that the KELM model was the most accurate surrogate model, and its performance was significantly improved after parameter optimization, which considerably reduced the computational burden of the simulation–optimization process and also maintained high computation accuracy.

Neural Networks for Pattern Recognition

TL;DR: The chapter discusses two important directions of research to improve learning algorithms: the dynamic node generation, which is used by the cascade correlation algorithm; and designing learning algorithms where the choice of parameters is not an issue.

Neural networks for the prediction and forecasting of water resources variables: a review of modelling issues and applications

TL;DR: The steps that should be followed in the development of artificial neural network models are outlined, including the choice of performance criteria, the division and pre-processing of the available data, the determination of appropriate model inputs and network architecture, optimisation of the connection weights (training) and model validation.
