Source article: Knowledge-Based Feature Selection Substantially Enhances Data-Driven Wastewater Treatment Modeling
Problem
Attention-based deep-learning feature selection failed to capture N2O emission patterns under out-of-distribution high-flow conditions, and LLM-augmented selection showed lower predictive accuracy with mean R2 0.596 compared to 0.712 for attention-based.
Environmental Science & TechnologyGain
Expert-guided and LLM-augmented feature selection improved generalizability of data-driven models for nitrous oxide emission prediction at a full-scale wastewater plant, maintaining temporal dynamics under out-of-distribution high-flow conditions where attention-based deep learning failed.
