Optimized Support Vector Machines Combined with Evolutionary Random Forest for Prediction of Back-Break Caused by Blasting Operation

Back-break is an adverse event in blasting works that causes the instability of mine walls, equipment collapsing, and reduction in effectiveness of drilling. Therefore, it boosts the total cost of mining operations. This investigation intends to develop optimized support vector machine models to for...

Before the models’ development, an evolutionary random forest (ERF) technique was used for input selection. This model selected five inputs out of 10 candidate inputs to be used to predict the back break. These two optimized SVM models were evaluated using various performance criteria.
