Abstract
In view of prediction techniques of hourly particulate matter (PM2.5) concentration in Viet Nam, this study’s aim is to apply Bi-directional Long Short-Term Memory (BLSTM) model to predict Air Quality Index (AQI) from PM2.5 concentration. The model is performed on data of hourly concentration of PM2.5 collected from 2 major Viet Nam cities: Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. The performance of BLSTM is evaluated by comparing with machine learning models CART, Random Forest, XGBoost using three metrics: RMSE, MAE and R2. This paper also aims to offer some time series’ parameter optimizations for future studies. Positive results are observed from the experiments that the proposed model outperforms other models by a large margin in all metrics.
