Water balance analysis of hydrological processes in cyclic irrigation: A case study of the Imbanuma irrigation area in Chiba, Japan by Fumi Okura, Asuka Kamei, Tasuku Kato

“…The dynamic hydrological relationship between surface and lateral flow discharge is discussed. Water and lateral flow use efficiencies were also evaluated to examine the applicability of cyclic irrigation in preserving natural water bodies.New hydrological insights for the region: The relatively wet year (791 mm/period) of 2021 maintained higher lateral flow (1438 mm in the North block, 1363 mm in the South block) from paddy plots, with discharge processes primarily influenced by surface water levels. …”

Accelerated Bayesian optimization for CNN+LSTM learning rate tuning via precomputed Gaussian process subspaces in soil analysis by Xiaolong Chen, Hongfeng Zhang, Cora Un In Wong, Zhengchun Song

“…PurposeWe propose an accelerated Bayesian optimization framework for tuning the learning rate of CNN+LSTM models in soil analysis, addressing the computational inefficiency of traditional Gaussian Process (GP)-based methods. This work bridges the gap between computational efficiency and probabilistic robustness, with broader implications for automated machine learning in geoscientific applications.MethodThe key innovation lies in a subspace-accelerated GP surrogate model that precomputes low-rank approximations of covariance matrices offline, thereby decoupling the costly hyperparameter tuning from the online acquisition function evaluations. …”
