Davao Gulf Tide Level Forecasting with Recurrent Neural Network Models
摘要
This study explores the efficacy of Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) models—specifically Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU), Bidirectional LSTM (Bi-LSTM+), and Bidirectional GRU (Bi-GRU+)— in predicting tide levels in the Davao Gulf. Using Mean Squared Error (MSE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), and Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) as bench-marks, models were trained and tested with data sourced from the National Mapping and Resource Information Authority Hydrography Branch. Results highlight the GRU model’s superior performance, achieving an MSE of 70.46, MAE of 6.69, and RMSE of 8.39, surpassing other models. Despite additional feature incorporation, Bi-LSTM+ and Bi-GRU+ did not significantly enhance predictive capabilities. These findings underscore GRU’s accuracy and reliability in tide-level forecasting, suggesting future research focus on data quality enhancement and real-time monitoring system integration.
