Using causal inference to avoid fallouts in data-driven parametric analysis: a case study in the architecture, engineering, and construction industry
Xia Chen, Ruiji Sun, Ueli Saluz +2
The decision-making process in real-world implementations has been affected by a growing reliance on data-driven models. We investigated the synergetic pattern between the data-dri…
Pathway toward prior knowledge-integrated machine learning in engineering
Xia Chen, Philipp Geyer
Despite the digitalization trend and data volume surge, first-principles models (also known as logic-driven, physics-based, rule-based, or knowledge-based models) and data-driven a…
Utilizing Domain Knowledge: Robust Machine Learning for Building Energy Prediction with Small, Inconsistent Datasets
Xia Chen, Manav Mahan Singh, Philipp Geyer
The demand for a huge amount of data for machine learning (ML) applications is currently a bottleneck in an empirically dominated field. We propose a method to combine prior knowle…
A Dynamic Feedforward Control Strategy for Energy-efficient Building System Operation
Xia Chen, Xiaoye Cai, Alexander Kümpel +2
The development of current building energy system operation has benefited from: 1. Informational support from the optimal design through simulation or first-principles models; 2. S…
