Prediction of the unconfined compressive strength of soft rocks: a PSO-based ANN approach
Many studies have shown that artificial neural networks (ANNs) are useful for predicting the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of rocks. However, ANNs do have some deficiencies: they can get trapped in local minima and they have a slow learning rate. It is widely accepted that optimization algor...
