Régression Laplacienne semi-supervisée pour la reconstitution des dates de pose des réseaux d'assainissement
Abstract
The installation date is often a primary consideration to explain the deterioration of the sanitation
system. With this knowledge, the managers can (through deterioration models) predict
the current condition of pipes that have not yet been examined, which is an essential information
to take decision in a limited budget context. The data that has to be dealt with has different
levels of complexity. The data has heterogeneous sources, a large volume, and limited information
on its labelling (years): only 24% of the linear amount is known for the sanitation
network. The underlying database will consist of the known features of the pipes (geometric
profile, installation depth and so on). This study assessed the effect of some semi-supervised
learning methods, and proposed a new approach suitable for this type of data.
