A Support Vector Machine Model with Hyperparameters Optimised by Mind Evolutionary Algorithm for Assessing Permeability of Rock by Wenjin Zhu, Zhiming Chao, Guotao Ma

“…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. …”
