ANFIS: Insightful Prediction of Nonlinear Systems

This study employs Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference Systems (ANFIS) as its core methodology. ANFIS is a deep learning algorithm combining the learning capabilities of artificial neural networks with the human-like reasoning capabilities of fuzzy logic. It is particularly effective in modeling and predicting the behavior of complex, non-linear systems. In simulations of forced vibration response in a real five-story steel structure, ANFIS demonstrated significantly higher accuracy than conventional Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), successfully reproducing even minute frequency components, thereby proving its superiority. This establishes a foundation for detecting and predicting even subtle changes in the structure.

Data Revitalization: Value Creation through Restoration and Refinement

ANFIS has been employed beyond simple prediction to revitalize damaged or incomplete measurement data. It successfully restored information lost in high-frequency bands due to low sampling rates, thereby enhancing the data's usability. Furthermore, it effectively filtered electrical noise contaminating data from repeated load tests on RC columns, improving the reliability of the analysis. While further improvement in peak value processing is needed, this data cleansing and restoration capability will play a crucial role in utilizing unstable data collected in real-world applications.

This figure compares the predicted top-floor acceleration response of a building, generated by a recurrent neural network (RNN) model, with measured data. The graphs illustrate the agreement between simulation results and actual data in both the time domain (left) and frequency domain (right). The root mean square error (RMSE) shown in each graph indicates the prediction accuracy of the model, highlighting limitations of the RNN model.
