Paper critiques ML model validation using ship fuel data

This paper investigates the validation methods for machine learning models predicting ship fuel consumption. It highlights that random train-test splits often lead to overly optimistic performance estimates due to temporal leakage. Using data from the Canadian Coast Guard Ship (CCGS) Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the study applies time-aware evaluation techniques like Time Series Cross-Validation (TSCV) and Blocked TSCV (BTSCV) to six regression models and a physics baseline.

IMPACT Highlights potential overestimation of model performance due to flawed validation, impacting real-world deployment of ML in maritime operations.

    Time-Aware Validation of Machine Learning Fuel Consumption Models: Evidence from 1\,Hz Operational Data, CCGS \textit{Sir Wilfrid Laurier}

    Ship fuel consumption (SFC) prediction supports vessel operation optimisation, emissions estimation, and decision support systems (DSS) for sustainable maritime transportation. Numerous data-driven fuel models have been developed over the past two decades, but a critical and ofte…
