HGS-At-LSTM: attention-based long short-term memory model combined with halving grid search optimizer for harmful algal bloom forecasting
摘要
Harmful algal blooms (HABs), caused by overgrowth of algae, pose serious risks to marine ecosystems, public health, and economies. Accurate prediction of HABs is essential for effective control. Yet, due to the complex and nonlinear patterns in time series data, predicting HABs remains challenging. In response, this paper introduces the HGS-At-LSTM model, a combination of an attention-based long short-term memory (LSTM) and the halving grid search with cross-validation (HalvingGridSearchCV) optimizer. The attention mechanism helps the model focus on key temporal dependencies, while the HalvingGridSearchCV optimizes hyper-parameters. The suggested model was compared with other methods like GridSearchCV, particle swarm optimization (PSO), and RandomizedSearchCV. The experimental results show that the HGS-At-LSTM model consistently surpasses baseline approaches, achieving a coefficient of determination (
