| Summary: | Accurately evaluating rockburst intensity has attracted much attention in these recent years, as it can guide the design of engineering in deep underground conditions and avoid injury to people. In this study, a new ensemble classifier combining a random forest classifier (RF) and beetle antennae search algorithm (BAS) has been designed and applied to improve the accuracy of rockburst classification. A large dataset was collected from across the world to achieve a comprehensive representation, in which five key influencing factors were selected as the input variables, and the rockburst intensity was selected as the output. The proposed model BAS-RF was then validated by the dataset. The results show that BAS could tune the hyperparameters of RF efficiently, and the optimum model exhibited a high performance on an independent test set of rockburst data and new engineering projects. According to the ensemble RF-BAS model, the feature importance was calculated. Furthermore, the accuracy of the proposed model on rockburst prediction was higher than the conventional machine learning models and empirical models, which means that the proposed model is efficient and accurate. |
