Current Research Topic
Deciphering the black box of artificial intelligence: An explainability scenario-based design of deep learning for multi-purpose dam operation modeling
Research
The Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) algorithm is employed to predict the hourly water level of the dam reservoirs over 2002–2021.
Objective
This study aims to assess the predictability and explainability of a deep learning algorithm-based model for three multi-purpose dam operation (Seomjin River dam, Juam dam, and Juam Control dam) in Seomjin River basin, South Korea.
Highlights
- An explainability scenario-based design for multi-purpose dam operation modeling was proposed.
- The trained GRU models showed diverse responses to altered inflow, precipitation, and outflow
- The diverse responses were explainable from the observed input-output relationship
