Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.This study leverages machine learning algorithms—specifically artificial neural networks (ANN) and genetic programming (GP)—to forecast and analyze variations in vault settlement measurements during excavation of small interval tunnel. A settlement prediction model was developed and validated through comparative analysis with regression to evaluate the
