Biomass Fuel Classification from Agricultural Residues Using Machine Learning

This work incorporates an adaptive learning-based boosting (ADboost) ML classifier to classify four types of fuel: agricultural residue, coals, wood, and produced biomass. Further, the ADboost’s hyperparameters, such as learning rate, maximum number of splits, and minimum leaf size are adjusted using teaching learning-based optimization (TLBO), resulting in TADboost. The performance of TADboost is compared against various popular ML (NN, BAG, NB, and SVM) models. Simulated result reveals that the suggested classifiers outperform other compared ML classifiers for fuel classification with the classification accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and kappa as 0.9659, 0.9671, 0.9449, 0.9558, and 0.9482, respectively.
