Proposing Optimized Random Forest Models for Predicting Compressive Strength of Geopolymer Composites by Feng Bin, Shahab Hosseini, Jie Chen, Pijush Samui, Hadi Fattahi, Danial Jahed Armaghani

“…We present a comparative analysis of two hybrid models, Harris Hawks Optimization with Random Forest (HHO-RF) and Sine Cosine Algorithm with Random Forest (SCA-RF), against traditional regression methods and classical models like the Extreme Learning Machine (ELM), General Regression Neural Network (GRNN), and Radial Basis Function (RBF). Using a comprehensive dataset derived from various scientific publications, we focus on key input variables including the fine aggregate, GGBS, fly ash, sodium hydroxide (NaOH) molarity, and others. …”
