Description
Summary:In this paper, a database developed from the existing literature about permeability of rock was established. Based on the constructed database, a Support Vector Machine (SVM) model with hyperparameters optimised by Mind Evolutionary Algorithm (MEA) was proposed to predict the permeability of rock. Meanwhile, the Genetic Algorithm- (GA-) and Particle Swarm Algorithm- (PSO-) SVM models were constructed to compare the improving effects of MEA on the foretelling accuracy of machine learning models with those of GA and PSO, respectively. The following conclusions were drawn. MEA can increase the predictive accuracy of the constructed machine learning models remarkably in a few iteration times, which has better optimisation performance than that of GA and PSO. MEA-SVM has the best forecasting performance, followed by PSO-SVM, while the estimating precision of GA-SVM is lower than them. The proposed MEA-SVM model can accurately predict the permeability of rock indicating the model having a satisfactory generalization and extrapolation capacity.
