Differential Evolution-Enhanced Descriptor Selection for Low-Alloy Steel Performance Prediction
摘要
Low-alloy steel, widely utilized in marine construction and engineering due to its exceptional mechanical properties, requires performance optimization to meet the demands of complex service environments. To address the critical challenges of high-dimensional feature spaces and limited sample sizes, we propose a novel two-step feature selection algorithm integrating Differential Evolution and Feature Importance Scores. Comparative analysis demonstrates the algorithm’s superior performance in reducing feature numbers while enhancing model accuracy. The developed predictive models for tensile strength and elongation achieve
