An integrated method of advanced optimisation and adaptive ensemble learning for ship fuel consumption prediction
Wenjie Cao, Xinjian Wang, Yaqing Shu, Huanhuan Li, Jingen Zhou, Zaili Yang
Transportation Research Part C: Emerging Technologies 2026 DOI: 10.1016/j.trc.2026.105659
Highlights
•Proposes an adaptive cluster-based multi-ensemble (ACME) model for robust ship fuel consumption prediction.
•Develops a SHAP-weighted multi-model feature selection (SWFS) algorithm for dimensionality reduction.
•Introduces a hierarchical adaptive parameter space exploration (HAPSE) method for efficient tuning.
•Establishes a dual-layer SHAP framework for global and local model interpretability.
•Integrates multi-source data fusion to enhance prediction accuracy and operational relevance.
