Abstract
En 中文
The Hardgrove grindability index (HGI) is a crucial indicator for assessing the grindability of coal, and accurate prediction of HGI is essential for improving the production efficiency and economic benefits of the coal industry. This study employed six decision tree-based machine learning models to predict the HGI values of 129 coal samples, with hyperparameter optimization performed using Optuna, and model interpretability analyzed using SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP). The results showed that the optimized natural gradient boosting (NGBoost) model outperformed all other models, which achieved the highest performance on the test set with a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.9715, a mean absolute error (MAE) of 1.1507, and a root mean squared error (RMSE) of 1.4735. SHAP analysis further revealed that volatile matter (VM) contributed the most to the model's predictions, while pyrite (FeS2) had the least contribution. This study provides an efficient machine learning approach for accurate HGI prediction, offering excellent predictive performance, interpretability, and application value.
