Comparison of machine learning methods for ground settlement prediction with different tunneling datasets

This study integrates different machine learning (ML) methods and 5-fold cross-validation (CV) method to estimate the ground maximal surface settlement (MSS) induced by tunneling. We further investigate the applicability of artificial intelligent (AI) based prediction through a comparative study of two tunnelling datasets with different sizes and features. Four different ML approaches, including support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), …
