System Simulation And Machine Learning-Based Maintenance Optimization For An Inland Waterway Transportation System

2023

To continue operations of the inland waterway transportation system (IWTS), the interconnected infrastructure, such as locks and dam systems, must remain in good operating condition. However, as the IWTS ages, unexpected disruptions increase, causing significant …

SurvReLU: Inherently Interpretable Survival Analysis via Deep ReLU Networks

2024

Survival analysis models time-to-event distributions with censorship. Recently, deep survival models using neural networks have dominated due to their representational power and state-of-the-art performance. However, their "black-box" nature hinders interpretability, which is crucial in real-world …
