description As the demand for deep mineral resource extraction intensifies, optimizing pipeline transportation systems in backfill mining has become increasingly critical. Thus, reducing energy loss while ensuring the filling effect becomes crucial for improving process efficiency. Owing to variations among mines, accurately calculating pipeline resistance loss remains challenging, resulting in significant inaccuracies. The rapid development of Industry 4.0 provides intelligent and data-driven optimization ideas for this challenge. This study introduces a novel pipeline resistance loss prediction framework integrating generative artificial intelligence with a TransKAN model. This study employs generative artificial intelligence to produce physically constrained augmented data, integrates the KAN network’s B-spline basis functions for nonlinear feature extraction, and incorporates the Transformer architecture to capture spatio-temporal correlations in pipeline pressure sequences, enabling precise resistance loss calculation. The experimental data collected from pipeline pressure sensors provides empirical validation for the model. Compared with traditional mathematical formulas, BP neural networks, SVMs, and random forests, the proposed model demonstrates superior performance, achieving an R<sup>2</sup> value of 0.9644, an RMSE of 0.7126, and an MAE of 0.4703.
