This report first provides a brief overview of a number of supervised learning algorithms for regression tasks. Among those are neural networks, regression trees, and the recently introduced Nexting. Nexting has been presented in the context of reinforcement learning where it was used to predict a large number of signals at different timescales. In the second half of this report, we apply the algorithms to historical weather data in order to evaluate their suitability to forecast a local weather trend. Our experiments did not identify one clearly preferable method, but rather show that choosing an appropriate algorithm depends on the available side information. For slowly varying signals and a proficient number of training samples, Nexting achieved good results in the studied cases.

We present in this paper an application which automatically generates textual short-term weather forecasts for every municipality in Galicia (NW Spain), using the real data provided by the Galician Meteorology Agency (MeteoGalicia). This solution com bines in an innovative way computing with perceptions techniques and strategies for linguistic description of data together with a natural language generation (NLG) system. The application, named GALiWeather, extracts relevant information from weather forecast input data and encodes it into intermediate descriptions using linguistic variables and temporal references. These descriptions are later translated into natural language texts by the natural language generation system. The obtained forecast results have been thoroughly validated by an expert meteorologist from MeteoGalicia using a quality assessment methodology which covers two key dimensions of a text: the accuracy of its content and the correctness of its form. Following this validation GALiWeather will be released as a real service offering custom forecasts for a wide public.
Short term load forecasts will play a key role in the implementation of smart electricity grids. They are required to optimise a wide range of potential network solutions on the low voltage (LV) grid, including integrating low carbon technologies (su ch as photovoltaics) and utilising battery storage devices. Despite the need for accurate LV level load forecasts, previous studies have mostly focused on forecasting at the individual household or building level using data from smart meters. In this study we provide detailed analysis of a variety of methods in terms of both point and probabilistic forecasting accuracy using data from 100 real LV feeders. Moreover, we investigate the effect of temperature (both actual and forecasts) on the accuracy of load forecasts. We present some important results on the drivers of LV forecasting accuracy that are crucial for the management of LV networks, along with an empirical comparison of forecast measures.

Advanced travel information and warning, if provided accurately, can help road users avoid traffic congestion through dynamic route planning and behavior change. It also enables traffic control centres mitigate the impact of congestion by activating Intelligent Transport System (ITS) proactively. Deep learning has become increasingly popular in recent years, following a surge of innovative GPU technology, high-resolution, big datasets and thriving machine learning algorithms. However, there are few examples exploiting this emerging technology to develop applications for traffic prediction. This is largely due to the difficulty in capturing random, seasonal, non-linear, and spatio-temporal correlated nature of traffic data. In this paper, we propose a data-driven modelling approach with a novel hierarchical D-CLSTM-t deep learning model for short-term traffic speed prediction, a framework combined with convolutional neural network (CNN) and long short-term memory (LSTM) models. A deep CNN model is employed to learn the spatio-temporal traffic patterns of the input graphs, which are then fed into a deep LSTM model for sequence learning. To capture traffic seasonal variations, time of the day and day of the week indicators are fused with trained features. The model is trained end-to-end to predict travel speed in 15 to 90 minutes in the future. We compare the model performance against other baseline models including CNN, LGBM, LSTM, and traditional speed-flow curves. Experiment results show that the D-CLSTM-t outperforms other models considerably. Model tests show that speed upstream also responds sensibly to a sudden accident occurring downstream. Our D-CLSTM-t model framework is also highly scalable for future extension such as for network-wide traffic prediction, which can also be improved by including additional features such as weather, long term seasonality and accident information.

This study compares the modularity performance of two artificial neural network architectures: a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) recurrent network, and Morphognosis, a neural network based on a hierarchy of spatial and temporal contexts. Mazes are used to measure performance, defined as the ability to utilize independently learned mazes to solve mazes composed of them. A maze is a sequence of rooms connected by doors. The modular task is implemented as follows: at the beginning of the maze, an initial door choice forms a context that must be retained until the end of an intervening maze, where the same door must be chosen again to reach the goal. For testing, the door-association mazes and separately trained intervening mazes are presented together for the first time. While both neural networks perform well during training, the testing performance of Morphognosis is significantly better than LSTM on this modular task.
Smooth power generation from solar stations demand accurate, reliable and efficient forecast of solar energy for optimal integration to cater market demand; however, the implicit instability of solar energy production may cause serious problems for t he smooth power generation. We report daily prediction of solar energy by exploiting the strength of machine learning techniques to capture and analyze complicated behavior of enormous features effectively. For this purpose, dataset comprising of 98 solar stations has been taken from energy competition of American Meteorological Society (AMS) for predicting daily solar energy. Forecast models of base line regressors including linear, ridge, lasso, decision tree, random forest and artificial neural networks have been implemented on the AMS solar dataset. Grid size is converted into two sections: 16x9 and 10x4 to ascertain attributes contributing more towards the generated power from densely located stations on global ensemble forecast system (GEFS). To evaluate the models, statistical measures of prediction error in terms of RMSE, MAE and R2_score have been analyzed and compared with the existing techniques. It has been observed that improved accuracy is achieved through random forest and ridge regressor for both grid sizes in contrast to all other proposed methods. Stability and reliability of the proposed schemes are evaluated on a single solar station as well as on multiple independent runs.
