dc.description.abstractTo develop more environmentally friendly and sustainable cementitious systems, the use of grinding aids (GAs) during the clinker grinding process has increasingly gained attention. Although the mechanisms of the action of grinding aids (GAs) are known, the selection of an effective grinding aid (GA) can be difficult due to the complexity of appropriate selection criteria. For this reason, it is important to model the effect of GA properties on grinding performance. In this study, seven different types of GAs were used in four different dosages, and time-dependent grinding was performed. The Blaine fineness values of cements were compared after each grinding process. In addition, the modeling of these parameters using machine learning and ensemble learning methods was discussed. The Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique (Smote) was used to generate artificial data and increase the number of data for the grinding efficiency experiment. The data were modeled using methods such as Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), Attentive Interpretable Tabular Learning (TabNet), Random Forests (RFs), and the XGBoost Regressor (XGBoost), and the ranking of the parameters affecting the Blaine properties was determined using the XGBoost method. The XGBoost method achieved the best results in the MAE, RMSE, and LogCosh metrics with values of 21.0384, 33.7379, and 15.4846, respectively, in the experimental modeling studies with augmented data. This study contributes to a better understanding of the relationship between GA selection and milling process performance.
