GOA-SSVR: a novel parallel architecture approach for air pollution forecasting using apache spark and grasshopper optimizer
摘要
Air pollution is one of the most critical risk factors for human health. Exposure to high concentrations of PM2.5, NO, NO2, O3, and PM10 is a significant cause of death from cardiorespiratory conditions. Preventive measures can mitigate the adverse effects of air pollution if predicted in advance. The existing sequential methods are not able to handle the huge volume of data generated by the sensors to forecast the results in a timely manner. Therefore, this paper introduces a novel method (GOA-SSVR) that leverages Apache Spark’s strength, grasshopper optimizer, and support vector regression to forecast NO, NO2, O3, PM10, and PM2.5 concentrations 24 hours in advance. The proposed method employs Apache Spark to create a parallel architecture, whereas grasshopper optimizer is used to optimize the hyperparameters of SVM. To test the performance, root mean squared error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), and
