Harmful algal blooms (HABs) have emerged as a significant environmental challenge, impacting aquatic ecosystems, drinking water supply systems, and human health due to the combined effects of activities climate change. This study investigates performance deep learning models, particularly Transformer model, there are limited studies exploring its effectiveness in HAB prediction. The chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) concentration, commonly used indicator phytoplankton biomass proxy for occurrences, is target variable. We consider multiple influencing parameters—including physical, chemical, biological quality monitoring data from stations located west Lake Erie—and employ SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) values an explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) tool identify key input features affecting HABs. Our findings highlight superiority especially Transformer, capturing complex dynamics parameters providing actionable insights ecological management. SHAP analysis identifies Particulate Organic Carbon, Nitrogen, total phosphorus critical factors predictions. contributes development advanced predictive models HABs, aiding early detection proactive management strategies.

Abstract Miscommunication between instructors and students is a significant obstacle to post-secondary learning. Students may skip office hours due insecurities or scheduling conflicts, which can lead missed opportunities for questions. To support self-paced learning encourage creative thinking skills, academic institutions must redefine their approach education by offering flexible educational pathways that recognize continuous this end, we developed an AI-augmented intelligent assistance framework based on powerful language model (i.e., GPT-3) automatically generates course-specific assistants regardless of discipline level. The virtual teaching assistant (TA) system, at the core our framework, serves as voice-enabled helper capable answering wide range questions, from curriculum logistics course policies. By providing with easy access information, TA help improve engagement reduce barriers At same time, it also logistical workload TAs, freeing up time focus other aspects supporting students. Its GPT-3-based knowledge discovery component generalized system architecture are presented accompanied methodical evaluation system’s accuracy performance.
