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

“…Experimental results show that PSO outperforms other algorithms in training the tool wear prediction model, with XGBoost feature selection reducing model construction time by 57.4% and increasing accuracy by 63.57%, demonstrating superior feature selection capabilities over Decision Tree, Random Fores, Adaboost and Extra Trees. These findings suggest that the proposed method can effectively predict tool wear in real-world CNC machining, contributing to improved production efficiency, reduced tool replacement frequency, and lower maintenance costs, thereby providing valuable insights for industrial applications.…”
