Tool wear prediction based on XGBoost feature selection combined with PSO-BP network by Zhangwen Lin, Yankun Fan, Jinling Tan, Zhen Li, Peng Yang, Hua Wang, Weiwei Duan

“…Abstract To address the challenge of accurately capturing tool wear states in small sample scenarios, this paper proposes a tool wear prediction method that combines XGBoost feature selection with a PSO-BP network. In order to solve the problem of input feature selection and parameter selection in BP neural network, a double-layer programming model of input feature and parameter selection is established, which is solved by XGBoost and PSO. …”
