Predicting concentration levels of air pollutants by transfer learning and recurrent neural network

作者:

Highlights:

• Accurate prediction for air pollutant concentration for stations with fewer data.

• The stations have even missing data and multiple nearby station data are processed.

• Transfer learning to initialize conveniently recurrent neural networks.

• Empirical analysis on a real sample: more than 12 years for one day ahead prediction.

• Values from air pollutants as well as classical meteorological data are computed.
