Title: Boosting predictive accuracy of single particle models for lithium-ion batteries using machine learning
The accuracy of single particle (SP) models for lithium-ion batteries at high C-rates is constrained by lithium concentration gradients in the electrolyte, which affect ionic conductivity, overpotential, and reaction rates. This study addresses these limitations using extreme gradient boosting machine learning (ML). By training our ML model with data from a comprehensive electrochemical (P2D) model and performing sensitivity analysis on key battery parameters, we enhance predictive accuracy. Compared to conventional SP and P2D models under constant current loading, our ML-based SP model achieves similar predictive accuracy to P2D, with significant improvements in computational efficiency. Additionally, the ML-based SP model demonstrates improved predictive accuracy under dynamic loading conditions, providing a practical framework for improving battery management and safety.  more » « less

  1. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), made from metal ions and organic linkers, are promising materials for drug delivery due to their porous morphology. These components significantly affect drug loading, but the wide variety of irons and linkers makes it challenging to systematically evaluate their drug loading capacities. Machine Learning (ML) provides predictive models for drug loading based on properties such as ion type, linker structure, and MOFs morphology (e.g. surface area). However, the accuracy of these models is affected by hyperparameters. To improve model performance, this work develops a genetic algorithm (GA)-based optimization approach to build ML models for predicting drug loading rates. Our results demonstrate the predictability and generalizability of this approach for estimating the drug-loading capacities of different material-drug combinations.

  2. Wang, Dong (Ed.)
    Lithium-ion batteries have been extensively used to power portable electronics, electric vehicles, and unmanned aerial vehicles over the past decade. Aging decreases the capacity of Lithium-ion batteries. Therefore, accurate remaining useful life (RUL) prediction is critical to the reliability, safety, and efficiency of the Lithium-ion battery-powered systems. However, battery aging is a complex electrochemical process affected by internal aging mechanisms and operating conditions (e.g., cycle time, environmental temperature, and loading condition). In this paper, a physics-informed machine learning method is proposed to model the degradation trend and predict the RUL of Lithium-ion batteries while accounting for battery health and operating conditions. The proposed physics-informed long short-term memory (PI-LSTM) model combines a physics-based calendar and cycle aging (CCA) model with an LSTM layer. The CCA model measures the aging effect of Lithium-ion batteries by combining five operating stress factor models. The PI-LSTM uses an LSTM layer to learn the relationship between the degradation trend determined by the CCA model and the online monitoring data of different cycles (i.e., voltage, current, and cell temperature). After the degradation pattern of a battery is estimated by the PI-LSTM model, another LSTM model is then used to predict the future degradation and remaining useful life (RUL) of the battery by learning the degradation trend estimated by the PI-LSTM model. Monitoring data of eleven Lithium-ion batteries under different operating conditions was used to demonstrate the proposed method. Experimental results have shown that the proposed method can accurately model the degradation behavior as well as predict the RUL of Lithium-ion batteries under different operating conditions.

  3. The increasing deployment of ML models on the critical path of production applications requires ML inference serving systems to serve these models under unpredictable and bursty request arrival rates. Serving many models under such conditions requires a careful balance between each application's latency and accuracy requirements and the overall efficiency of utilization of scarce resources. Faced with this tension, state-of-the-art systems either choose a single model representing a static point in the latency-accuracy tradeoff space to serve all requests or incur latency target violations by loading specific models on the critical path of request serving. Our work instead resolves this tension through a resource-efficient serving of the entire range of models spanning the latency-accuracy tradeoff space. Our novel mechanism, SubNetAct, achieves this by carefully inserting specialized control-flow operators in pre-trained, weight-shared super-networks. These operators enable SubNetAct to dynamically route a request through the network to actuate a specific model that meets the request's latency and accuracy target. Thus, SubNetAct can serve a vastly higher number of models than prior systems while requiring upto 2.6\texttimes{} lower memory. More crucially, SubNetAct's near-instantaneous actuation of a wide-range of models unlocks the design space of fine-grained, reactive scheduling policies. We design one such extremely effective policy, SlackFit, and instantiate both SubNetAct and Slack-Fit in a real system, SuperServe. On real-world traces derived from a Microsoft workload, SuperServe achieves 4.67\% higher accuracy for the same latency targets and 2.85\texttimes{} higher latency target attainment for the same accuracy.

  4. Abstract Electric vehicles (EVs) have emerged as an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional fuel vehicles. Lithium-ion batteries are the major energy source for EVs, but they degrade under dynamic operating conditions. Accurate estimation of battery state of health is important for sustainability as it quantifies battery condition, influences reuse possibilities, and helps alleviate capacity degradation, which finally impacts battery lifespan and energy efficiency. In this paper, a self-attention graph neural network combined with long short-term memory (LSTM) is introduced by focusing on using temporal and spatial dependencies in battery data. The LSTM layer utilizes a sliding window to extract temporal dependencies in the battery health factors. Two different approaches to the graph construction layer are subsequently developed: health factor-based and window-based graphs. Each approach emphasizes the interconnections between individual health factors and exploits temporal features in a deeper way, respectively. The self-attention mechanism is used to compute the adjacent weight matrix, which measures the strength of interactions between nodes in the graph. The impact of the two graph structures on the model performance is discussed. The model accuracy and computational cost of the proposed model are compared with the individual LSTM and gated recurrent unit (GRU) models.

  5. BackgroundMetastatic cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Yet, the prediction of survivability in this population remains limited by heterogeneous clinical presentations and high-dimensional molecular features. Advances in machine learning (ML) provide an opportunity to integrate diverse patient- and tumor-level factors into explainable predictive ML models. Leveraging large real-world datasets and modern ML techniques can enable improved risk stratification and precision oncology. ObjectiveThis study aimed to develop and interpret ML models for predicting overall survival in patients with metastatic cancer using the Memorial Sloan Kettering-Metastatic (MSK-MET) dataset and to identify key prognostic biomarkers through explainable artificial intelligence techniques. MethodsWe performed a retrospective analysis of the MSK-MET cohort, comprising 25,775 patients across 27 tumor types. After data cleaning and balancing, 20,338 patients were included. Overall survival was defined as deceased versus living at last follow-up. Five classifiers (extreme gradient boosting [XGBoost], logistic regression, random forest, decision tree, and naive Bayes) were trained using an 80/20 stratified split and optimized via grid search with 5-fold cross-validation. Model performance was assessed using accuracy, area under the curve (AUC), precision, recall, and F1-score. Model explainability was achieved using Shapley additive explanations (SHAP). Survival analyses included Kaplan-Meier estimates, Cox proportional hazards models, and an XGBoost-Cox model for time-to-event prediction. The positive predictive value and negative predictive value were calculated at the Youden index–optimal threshold. ResultsXGBoost achieved the highest performance (accuracy=0.74; AUC=0.82), outperforming other classifiers. In survival analyses, the XGBoost-Cox model with a concordance index (C-index) of 0.70 exceeded the traditional Cox model (C-index=0.66). SHAP analysis and Cox models consistently identified metastatic site count, tumor mutational burden, fraction of genome altered, and the presence of distant liver and bone metastases as among the strongest prognostic factors, a pattern that held at both the pan-cancer level and recurrently across cancer-specific models. At the cancer-specific level, performance varied; prostate cancer achieved the highest predictive accuracy (AUC=0.88), while pancreatic cancer was notably more challenging (AUC=0.68). Kaplan-Meier analyses demonstrated marked survival separation between patients with and without metastases (80-month survival: approximately 0.80 vs 0.30). At the Youden-optimal threshold, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were approximately 70% and 80%, respectively, supporting clinical use for risk stratification. ConclusionsExplainable ML models, particularly XGBoost combined with SHAP, can strongly predict survivability in metastatic cancers while highlighting clinically meaningful features. These findings support the use of ML-based tools for patient counseling, treatment planning, and integration into precision oncology workflows. Future work should include external validation on independent cohorts, integration with electronic health records via Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources–based dashboards, and prospective clinician-in-the-loop evaluation to assess real-world use.
