Optimized deep learning architecture for predicting maximum temperatures in key Egyptian regions using hybrid genetic algorithm and mountain Gazelle optimizer
摘要
Climate change significantly impacts plant growth, food production, ecosystems, sustainable socio-economic development, and human health. With the growing availability of extensive historical climate data and the increasing demand for accurate production forecasting, there is a pressing need for reliable methods to determine the stochastic relationship between past and future values. This article introduces a novel deep learning model designed to overcome the limitations of traditional forecasting methods and achieve highly accurate predictions. The proposed approach is a deep long short-term memory (DLSTM) model optimized using genetic algorithms (GAs) and the mountain gazelle optimizer (MGO), which collectively fine-tune the architecture of the DLSTM model. The experiment utilized historical climate data from nine Egyptian cities: Asswan, Bane-Suef, Behira, Dakhalia, Menoufia, Minia, Qalyubia, Sharkia, and Sohag to evaluate the model’s performance. To ensure a fair and comprehensive evaluation, the effectiveness of the proposed MGO-GA-DLSTM model was compared with other established forecasting techniques. The evaluation metrics included mean absolute error (MAE), root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), and R-squared (
