Enhanced Structural Health Monitoring Through LSTM-Enhanced Gradient Boosting Regressor

Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology  ·  Area of research: Machine Learning

Abstract

This research paper highlights a novel hybrid model, LSTM-Enhanced Gradient Boosting Regressor (LE-GBR), which aims to improve prediction of failure in critical infrastructure like bridges and buildings. Structures naturally degrade over time due to many factors like material fatigue and environmental pressures, making accurate predictions essential for safety and maintenance planning. Traditional models often miss complex interactions between these factors, but our method integrates Gradient Boosting Regressor (GBR) with Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, allowing us to capture both fixed and evolving patterns in structural health data. Through experiments on a collected dataset, LE-GBR model outperformed other approaches, providing more accurate forecasts of structural health conditions. This model offers a promising tool for enhancing structural safety by enabling more precise failure predictions, thereby supporting improved maintenance strategies and risk mitigation for critical infrastructure.
