The core message of this article is that the proposed Nature-Guided Cognitive Evolution (NGCE) strategy can effectively predict dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations in diverse north temperate lakes by adaptively selecting relevant features and their interactions through a multi-population cognitive evolutionary search.
บทคัดย่อ
The article presents a comprehensive study on predicting dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations in north temperate lakes, which is crucial for understanding water quality and ecosystem health. The authors highlight the significance of selecting relevant phenological features and their interactions, as DO concentrations are influenced by various factors such as morphometric, geographic, flux-related, weather, trophic state, and land use characteristics.
The authors propose the NGCE strategy, which consists of two stages:
Feature selection stage:
The authors leverage a metabolic process-based model to generate simulated DO labels.
They implement a multi-population cognitive evolutionary search, where models within each population adaptively evolve to select relevant feature interactions for different lake types and tasks.
The models undergo crossover and mutation mechanisms, both within and across populations, to enhance the selection of relevant features and interactions.
Model functioning stage:
The authors refine the evolved models by retraining them with real observed DO labels, addressing the scarcity of observed data.
They employ a masked LSTM approach to blend sparse observations with simulated labels, mitigating the impact of limited observed data.
The authors evaluate the NGCE strategy on a dataset of 375 lakes in the Midwest, USA, covering 41 years of data. The results demonstrate that NGCE outperforms various baseline models in predicting DO concentrations across different lake types and tasks. The authors also provide insights into the evolution of feature interactions across lake types and over time, highlighting the adaptability of the NGCE strategy.

"The concentration of dissolved oxygen (DO) in lakes, as the indicator of water quality and ecosystem health, plays a key role in sustaining aquatic biodiversity and ensuring water safety for human consumption."
"DO concentration is closely intertwined with ecosystem phenology, influenced by morphometric and geographic information, mass fluxes, weather conditions, trophic state, and watershed land use."
คำพูด
"The fluctuations in a lake's oxygen illustrate its "life cycle" more clearly than many other ecological indicators."
"Accurate prediction of DO concentrations requires a comprehensive study of these phenological patterns across various ecosystems, which entails utilizing long-term data encompassing a wide range of features."
