Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Indoor air quality (IAQ) is a critical matter of concern in terms of its impact on public health and well-being. Researchers have been trying to find better machine learning models to improve IAQ prediction. Echo state network (ESN) is a particular type of recurrent neural network (RNN), which usually uses a regression-based learning algorithm and works with a much lower training cost than other RNNs trained with a gradient-based algorithm. In this study, a novel structure of ESN with a combination of multiple reservoirs and attention mechanism is developed and employed to predict the concentrations of Particulate Matter (PM) from a long-term dataset. We compare the performance of the multi-reservoir ESN with attention mechanism with that of standard ESN, multi-reservoir ESN, and standard ESN with attention mechanism. The results show that adding the attention mechanism can significantly improve the prediction accuracy of the standard and multi-reservoir ESN. Future work will concentrate on the improvement of training speed.
