Ensemble-Based Machine Learning Approach For Improved Leak Detection in Water Mains

This paper presents an acoustic leak detection system for distribution water mains using machine learning methods. The problem is formulated as a binary classifier to identify leak and no-leak cases using acoustic signals.

The proposed solution includes a multi-strategy ensemble learning (MEL) using a gradient boosting tree (GBT) classification model, which has performed better in maximizing detection rate and minimizing false positives as compared with other classification models such as KNN, ANN, and rule-based techniques.
