Optimizing Mean Fragment Size Prediction in Rock Blasting: A Synergistic Approach Combining Clustering, Hyperparameter Tuning, and Data Augmentation

Accurate estimation of the mean fragment size is crucial for optimizing open-pit mining operations. This study presents an approach that combines clustering, hyperparameter optimization, and data augmentation to enhance prediction accuracy using the Xtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) regression mode...
