Accuracy assessment of extreme learning machine in predicting soil compression coefficient

Abstract

The compression coefficient (Cc) is an important soil mechanical parameter that represents soil compressibility in the process of consolidation. In this study, a machine learning derived model, namely extreme learning algorithm (ELM), was used to predict the Cc of soil. A total of 189 experimental results were used and randomly divided to construct the training and testing parts for the development and validation of ELM. Monte Carlo approach was applied to take into account the random sampling of samples constituting the training dataset. A number of 13 input parameters reflecting the experiment were used as the input variables to predict the output Cc. Several statistical criteria, such as mean absolute error (MAE), root mean square error (RMSE), correlation coefficient (R) and the Monte Carlo convergence estimator were used to assess the performance of ELM in predicting the Cc of soil. The results showed that ELM had a strong capacity to predict the Cc of soil, with the R value > 0.95. The convergence of results, as well as the capability of ELM were fully investigated to understand the advantage of using ELM as a predictor.

Prediction Compressive Strength of Concrete Containing GGBFS using Random Forest Model

“…In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) or machine learning (ML) is gradually becoming popular and applied in numerous scientific fields [10][11][12][13]. e random forest (RF) is one of the most powerful algorithms of ML for data science, which has been widely used in the construction field [14].…”

Improving Voting Feature Intervals for Spatial Prediction of Landslides

“…Performance of the models was evaluated using statistical measures such as positive predictive value (PPV), area under receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC), specificity (SPF), accuracy (ACC), negative predictive value (NPV), sensitivity (SST), root mean square error (RSME), and Kappa index (k) [61,62]. Detail description of these indices is presented in relevant studies [4,[63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70]. Formulas of these indices are presented in Table 1.…”

Estimation of the bond strength between FRP and concrete using ANFIS and hybridized ANFIS machine learning models

“…Similarly, R's value is in the range Testing Dataset Final evaluation JSTT 2021, 1 (4), 36-47 [-1; 1], and the closer R's absolute value is to 1, the more accurate the model is. Formulas for calculating R, RMSE, and MAE can be found in the cited documents [31][32][33]. Table 1 details the input and output parameters' notation, roles, and statistical analysis (minimum, maximum, mean, median, and standard deviation).…”
