In recent years, machine learning has emerged as a powerful tool to capture complex, nonlinear interactions among processing variables. In this work, two regression frameworks—artificial neural network (ANN) and extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost)—were systematically developed and optimized using GridSearchCV. The ANN baseline showed poor predictive capability with an 𝑅<sup>2</sup> value of 0.214, a mean absolute error (MAE) of 22.62, and a root mean square error (RMSE) of 27.48. In contrast, XGBoost achieved a much higher accuracy with 𝑅<sup>2</sup> = 0.716, MAE = 13.30, and RMSE = 16.52, confirming its suitability as the base learner. In order to address the need for a lightweight and interpretable framework, a surrogate model was adopted wherein an ANN was trained to replicate the predictions of the XGBoost model. The surrogate ANN demonstrated strong fidelity, achieving 𝑅<sup>2</sup> = 0.796, MAE = 9.20, and RMSE = 12.62 when compared against XGBoost outputs. These results indicate that ANN surrogates can effectively approximate complex gradient boosting models, offering a computationally efficient and scalable pathway for real-time prediction and decision support in composite material design.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":770,"journal":{"name":"Russian Physics Journal","volume":"68 12","pages":"2084 - 2094"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2026-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148695611","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
