Hybridize Machine Learning Methods and Optimization Techniques to Analyze and Repair Welding Defects via Digital Twin of Jidoka Simulator by Ahmed M. Abed, Tamer S. Gaafar

“…Hybridising the Random-Forest algorithm with Dingo optimisation and called Regulated Random Forest (RRF) to precisely identify defect clusters and then predict the welding defect growth rate (<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\boldsymbol {{R}_{s}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>) using the Cat-boost optimiser, which is enhanced by a beetle search mechanism called CatBAS. The RRF is superior to Apriori, ECLAT, and FP Growth by 23.98%, 7.44%, and 8.38%, respectively, while CatBAS is superior to XG-boost by 94.62% in response time with a 1.04175% error that activates the treating stage-V quickly. …”
