Due to the limited number of air quality monitoring stations, the data collected are limited. Using supervised learning for air quality fine-grained analysis, that is used to predict the air quality index (AQI) of the locations without air quality monitoring stations, may lead to overfitting in that the models have superior performance on the training set but perform poorly on the validation and testing set. In order to avoid this problem in supervised learning, the most effective solution is to increase the amount of data, but in this study, this is not realistic. Fortunately, semi-supervised learning can obtain knowledge from unlabeled samples, thus solving the problem caused by insufficient training samples. Therefore, a co-training semi-supervised learning method combining the K-nearest neighbors (KNN) algorithm and deep neural network (DNN) is proposed, named KNN-DNN, which makes full use of unlabeled samples to improve the model performance for fine-grained air quality analysis. Temperature, humidity, the concentrations of pollutants and source type are used as input variables, and the KNN algorithm and DNN model are used as learners. For each learner, the labeled data are used as the initial training set to model the relationship between the input variables and the AQI. In the iterative process, by labeling the unlabeled samples, a pseudo-sample with the highest confidence is selected to expand the training set. The proposed model is evaluated on a real dataset collected by monitoring stations from 1 February to 30 April 2018 over a region between 118° E–118°53′ E and 39°45′ N–39°89′ N. Practical application shows that the proposed model has a significant effect on the fine-grained analysis of air quality. The coefficient of determination between the predicted value and the true value is 0.97, which is better than other models.

Accurate medium- and long-term power load forecasting is of great significance for the scientific planning and safe operation of power systems. Monthly power load has multiscale time series correlation and seasonality. The existing models face the problems of insufficient feature extraction and a large volume of prediction models constructed according to seasons. Therefore, a hybrid feature pyramid CNN-LSTM model with seasonal inflection month correction for medium- and long-term power load forecasting is proposed. The model is constructed based on linear and nonlinear combination forecasting. With the aim to address the insufficient extraction of multiscale temporal correlation in load, a time series feature pyramid structure based on causal dilated convolution is proposed, and the accuracy of the model is improved by feature extraction and fusion of different scales. For the problem that the model volume of seasonal prediction is too large, a seasonal inflection monthly load correction strategy is proposed to construct a unified model to predict and correct the monthly load of the seasonal change inflection point, so as to improve the model’s ability to deal with seasonality. The model proposed in this paper is verified on the actual power data in Shaoxing City.
