ABSTRACT
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are a serious threat to ecosystems and human health. The accurate prediction of HABs is crucial for their proactive preparation and management. While mechanism-based numerical modeling, such as the Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code (EFDC), has been widely used in the past, the recent development of machine learning technology with data-based processing capabilities has opened up new possibilities for HABs prediction. In this study, we developed and evaluated two types of machine learning-based models for HABs prediction Gradient Boosting models (XGBoost, LightGBM, CatBoost) and attention-based CNN-LSTM models. We used Bayesian optimization techniques for hyperparameter tuning, and applied bagging and stacking ensemble techniques to obtain the final prediction results. The final prediction result was derived by applying the optimal hyperparameter and bagging and stacking ensemble techniques, and the applicability of prediction to HABs was evaluated. When predicting HABs with an ensemble technique, it is judged that the overall prediction performance can be improved by complementing the advantages of each model and averaging errors such as overfitting of individual models. Our study highlights the potential of machine learning-based models for HABs prediction and emphasizes the need to incorporate the latest technology into this important field.
