Gasification holds a central role in the thermochemical conversion of diverse carbon-rich feedstocks into valuable syngas, making a substantial contribution to the advancement of environmentally sustainable clean energy generation. The methodical modelling and optimization of gasification processes hold paramount significance in augmenting their overall operational efficiency. As part of the ongoing research endeavour, a novel approach is introduced that combines Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) modelling with the population-based vortex search algorithm (PVSA) and the Dingo Optimization algorithm (DOA). The core aim of this methodology is to enhance and optimize gasification processes. GPR serves as a surrogate model used to proficiently capture the intricate relationships between input variables and gasification performance metrics. The implementation of GPR ensures predictive accuracy, facilitating a more streamlined exploration of the design space while concurrently reducing the demands on computational resources. The integration of GPR modelling in conjunction with the hybrid approach, incorporating PVSA and DOA, markedly augments both the efficiency and precision in the design and control of gasification processes. The GPPV hybrid model has achieved the most optimal result with the highest R2 value of 0.989 and 0.987 for the CH4 and C2Hn and the lowest RMSE of 0.476 and 0.164 for CH4 and C2Hn, indicating the reliability of the PVSA in optimizing the GPR model in predicting the syngas of gasification process. The framework expounded upon in this investigation provides a sturdy foundation for the progression of gasification technology, encompassing a diverse array of applications in the domains of clean energy production and sustainability endeavours.

Pile settlement, a critical aspect of geotechnical engineering, refers to the vertical movement or deformation of piles, which are structural elements used to support buildings, bridges, and other infrastructure. Accurate prediction of pile settlement is essential for ensuring the stability and safety of these structures. The need for novel techniques in pile settlement prediction arises from the complexity of geotechnical systems and the desire for higher precision and efficiency in the assessment. Traditional methods often have limitations in handling the intricate interactions between soil properties and pile behavior. This necessitates the exploration of advanced approaches, such as machine learning and optimization algorithms, to enhance prediction accuracy. In this study, the performance of a Random forest (RF) model, a machine learning technique, was evaluated for forecasting mound payment. To further improve accuracy of model's and optimization, three metaheuristic optimizers were utilized: population-based vortex search algorithm (PVS), Atom search Optimization (ASO), and Golden Sine algorithm (GSA). Notably, the GSA-optimized RF model exhibited superior performance, achieving the lowest Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) values. Furthermore, a comparative analysis of the three optimizers revealed that GSA outperformed ASO and PVS in terms of convergence rate and solution quality. This integration of machine learning and optimization techniques represents an innovative approach that significantly enhances the precision of pile settlement prediction. It highlights the potential for these tools to be applied more broadly in geotechnical engineering. Future studies can further explore the application of this approach to diverse datasets and assess its effectiveness across various soil conditions, offering promising avenues for further advancements in the field.

In the field of geotechnical engineering Rocks' unconfined compressive strength (UCS) is an important variable that plays a significant part in civil engineering projects like foundation design, mining, and tunneling. These projects' stability and safety depend on how accurately UCS predicts the future. In this study, machine learning (ML) techniques are applied to forecast UCS for soil-stabilizer combinations. This study aims to build complex and highly accurate predictive models using the robust Decision Tree (DT) as a primary ML tool. These models show relationships between UCS considering a variety of intrinsic soil properties, including dispersion, plasticity, linear particle size shrinkage, and the kind of and number of stabilizing additives. Furthermore, this paper integrates two meta-heuristic algorithms: the population-based vortex search algorithm (PVS) and the Arithmetic optimizer algorithm (AOA) to enhance the precision of models. These algorithms work in tandem to bolster the accuracy of predictive models. This study has subjected models to rigorous validation by analyzing UCS samples from different soil types, drawing from historical stabilization test results. This study unveils three noteworthy models: DTAO, DTPB, and an independent DT model. Each model provides invaluable insights that support the meticulous projection of UCS for soil-stabilizer blends. Notably, the DTAO model stands out with exceptional performance metrics. With an R-2 value of 0.998 and an impressively low RMSE of 1.242, it showcases precision and reliability. These findings not only underscore the accuracy of the DTAO model but also emphasize its effectiveness in predicting soil stabilization outcomes.

Modeling the gasification process through machine learning (ML) involves predicting the behavior and performance of gasification systems. Support Vector Regression (SVR) is known as an effective procedure in forecasting continuous variables and is even suitable for the modeling gasification process. Employing optimization algorithms to connect and fine-tune internal model settings can lead to the creation of various hybrid and ensemble models.
