文摘Air traffic complexity is a critical indicator for air traffic operation,and plays an important role in air traffic management(ATM),such as airspace reconfiguration,air traffic flow management and allocation of air traffic controllers(ATCos).Recently,many machine learning techniques have been used to evaluate air traffic complexity by constructing a mapping from complexity related factors to air traffic complexity labels.However,the low quality of complexity labels,which is named as label noise,has often been neglected and caused unsatisfactory performance in air traffic complexity evaluation.This paper aims at label noise in air traffic complexity samples,and proposes a confident learning and XGBoost-based approach to evaluate air traffic complexity under label noise.The confident learning process is applied to filter out noisy samples with various label probability distributions,and XGBoost is used to train a robust and high-performance air traffic complexity evaluation model on the different label noise filtered ratio datasets.Experiments are carried out on a real dataset from the Guangzhou airspace sector in China,and the results prove that the appropriate label noise removal strategy and XGBoost algorithm can effectively mitigate the label noise problem and achieve better performance in air traffic complexity evaluation.
