Abstract

The authors describe application attribute-based interpretable neural network models which allow optimization of risk management in underground mining of potassium-magnesium salts. The proposed procedure makes it possible: to classify initial natural data and manmade factors with the priority of transformation to a continuous representation, and with introduction of quality classes of sets; to build dimensionless indexes-attributes which ensure physical interpretability of models; to perform integrated selection of attributes on the basis of the single-factor linear analysis, correlation filtration, multiple regression and nonlinear analysis of a learned artificial neural network; to learn and validate neural network models with interpretation of contributions of attributes. For the transition from subsidence prediction to risk-oriented prediction, an integrated index of subsidence, inclination, curvature and accumulated damage parameter, with data mapping is proposed. The procedure is tested at Berezniki-1 Mine at the Verkhnekamsk deposit of potassium-magnesium salts.
