    Joint Extraction Method for Hydraulic Engineering Entity Relations Based on Multi-Features

    by Yang Liu, Xingzhi Wang, Xuemei Liu, Zehong Ren, Yize Wang, Qianqian Cai

    During the joint extraction of entity and relationship from the operational management data of hydraulic engineering, complex sentences containing multiple triplets and overlapping entity relations often arise. However, traditional joint extraction models suffer from a single-feature representation approach, which hampers the effectiveness of entity relation extraction in complex sentences within hydraulic engineering datasets. To address this issue, this study proposes a multi-feature joint entity relation extraction method based on global context mechanism and graph convolutional neural networks. This method builds upon the Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) pre-trained model and utilizes a bidirectional gated recurrent unit (BiGRU) and global context mechanism (GCM) to supplement the contextual and global features of sentences. Subsequently, a graph convolutional network (GCN) based on syntactic dependencies is employed to learn inter-word dependency features, enhancing the model’s knowledge representation capabilities for complex sentences. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model in the joint extraction task on hydraulic engineering datasets. The precision, recall, and F1-score are 86.5%, 84.1%, and 85.3%, respectively, all outperforming the baseline model.

    Research on Runoff Prediction Based on Time2Vec-TCN-Transformer Driven by Multi-Source Data

    by Yang Liu, Yize Wang, Xuemei Liu, Xingzhi Wang, Zehong Ren, Songlin Wu

    Due to the frequent occurrence of extreme weather in recent years, accurate runoff prediction is crucial for the rational planning and management of water resources. Addressing the high uncertainty and multiple influencing factors in runoff prediction, this paper proposes a runoff prediction method driven by multi-source data. Based on multivariate observed data of runoff, water level, temperature, and precipitation, a Time2Vec-TCN-Transformer model is proposed for runoff prediction research and compared with LSTM, TCN, and TCN-Transformer models. The results show that the Time2Vec-TCN-Transformer model outperforms other models in metrics including MAE, RRMSE, MAPE, and NSE, demonstrating higher prediction accuracy and reliability. By effectively combining Time2Vec, TCN, and Transformer, the proposed model improves the MAPE for forecasting 1–4 days in the future by approximately 7% compared to the traditional LSTM model and 4% compared to the standalone TCN model, while maintaining NSE consistently between 0.9 and 1. This model can better capture the periodicity, long-term scale information, and relationships among multiple variables of runoff data, providing reliable predictive support for flood forecasting and water resources management.

    Research on a Knowledge Graph Embedding Method Based on Improved Convolutional Neural Networks for Hydraulic Engineering

    by Yang Liu, Jiayun Tian, Xuemei Liu, Tianran Tao, Zehong Ren, Xingzhi Wang, Yize Wang

    In response to the shortcomings of existing knowledge graph embedding strategies, such as weak feature interaction and latent knowledge representation, a unique hydraulic knowledge graph embedding method is suggested. The proposed method incorporates spatial position features into the entity-relation embedding process, thereby enhancing the representation capability of latent knowledge. Furthermore, it utilizes a multi-layer convolutional neural network to fuse features at different levels, effectively capturing more abundant semantic information. Additionally, the method employs multi-scale dilated convolution kernels to capture rich explicit interaction features across different scales of space. In this study, the effectiveness of the proposed model was validated on the link prediction task. Experimental results demonstrated that, compared to the ConvE model, the proposed model achieved a significant improvement of 14.8% in terms of mean reciprocal rank (MRR) on public datasets. Additionally, the suggested model outperformed the ConvR model on the hydraulic dataset, leading to a 10.1% increase in MRR. The results indicate that the proposed approach exhibits good applicability and performance in the task of hydraulic knowledge graph complementation. This suggests that the method has the potential to offer significant assistance for knowledge discovery and application research in the field of hydraulics.

    Research on the Prewarning Method for the Safety of South-to-North Water Transfer Project Driven by Monitoring Data

    by Yang Liu, Yaoling Fan, Xinqing Yan, Xuemei Liu, Bin Yang

    In order to solve the prewarning problem of South-to-North Water Transfer Project safety, an intelligent cooperative prewarning method based on machine learning was proposed under the framework of intelligent information processing. Driven by the monitoring data of the South-to-North Water Transfer Project, the single sensor in typical scenes was studied, and the security threshold was predicted along the vertical axis of time, firstly. With the support of the data correlation calculation, the sensors in the typical scene were intelligently grouped, and the study objectives were changed into sensor grouping, secondly. Then, the nonlinear regression model between the single sensor and the multisensors was built on the time cross section, and the model was used to dynamically calculate the safety threshold of the current sensor for the second time. Finally, in the framework of intelligent information processing, a double verification mechanism was proposed to support the construction of the intelligent prewarning method for the safety of South-to-North Water Transfer Project. The paper collected the monitoring data from November 2015 to September 2016 in the typical scenarios. The experimental results showed that the methods constructed in the paper can be able to identify the abnormal causes of data sudden jump effectively and give the different level prewarning. The method provides a strong theoretical support for further manual investigation work.

Designed for the South‐North Water Transfer Project (SNWTP), the architecture integrated project safety, water quality safety, and human safety. Using IoT devices, fog computing layer was constructed between cloud server and safety detection devices in water conservancy projects. Technologies such as real‐time sensing, intelligent processing, and information interconnection were developed. Therefore, accurate forecasting, accurate positioning, and efficient management were implemented as required by safety prevention of the SNWTP, and safety protection of water conservancy projects was effectively improved, and intelligential water conservancy engineering was developed.
