[0022] It should be noted that the following detailed description is illustrative and intended to provide further explanation of the invention. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains.

Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.
[0024] Where there is no conflict, the embodiments and features described in this application may be combined with each other.
[0025] Example 1 A rock mass sensing system based on advanced drilling and testing, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a data acquisition module, a preprocessing module, a weight allocation module, a feature screening module, and a multimodal fusion module.
[0026] in: The data acquisition module is used to acquire tunneling parameters such as rotational speed, torque, and pressure during real-time monitoring of the drilling process.
[0027] Geological parameters include uniaxial compressive strength, groundwater aquifer, initial geostress, and structural surface condition; tunneling parameters include thrust, penetration depth, torque, and tunneling speed.
[0028] The preprocessing module includes a data correction module and a data transformation module. The data correction module uses the DBSCAN clustering algorithm to remove outliers from the acquired data. Its principle is to find core objects (data points whose neighborhood contains at least...). n The data points (referred to as core objects) are connected to form different dense regions, and isolated data points not belonging to any cluster are considered outliers. The data transformation module uses the Z-Score method to uniformly scale all data to the range (-1, 1) to eliminate the influence of different dimensions between data points. The formula is:
[0029] in, The mean, The standard deviation is denoted as .
[0030] The weight allocation module constructs a function model for perceiving stone body parameters during drilling testing, as follows: First, the fitness value Y is defined:
[0031] Wherein X1, X2, X3, X4 respectively refer to the thrust, penetration, torque and digging speed, the adaptability of the directional drilling during the while drilling test process can be well represented by the three parameters, wherein Respectively refer to the weight of the four parameters, the weight is determined by principal component analysis.
[0032] The principal component analysis method determines the weight, which can be assisted by SPSS software, and the variance explanation rate table and loading coefficient table are obtained through the principal component analysis function in the software, and the data in the table is used for weight calculation: First, calculate the linear combination coefficient matrix, the formula is the loading coefficient divided by the corresponding square root.
[0033] Second, calculate the comprehensive score coefficient, the formula is cumulative (linear combination coefficient * variance explanation rate) / cumulative variance explanation rate.
[0034] Third, determine the weight, sum the comprehensive score coefficient and normalize to obtain the weight value of each index.
[0035] The weight distribution module adopts uniaxial compressive strength, groundwater water content state, initial ground stress state, structure surface state Y1, Y2, Y3, Y4 four parameters respectively to adapt to the value Y Function fitting, four function forms are obtained, four function forms are combined to establish the final function model. The function model is embedded in the identification sub-model.
[0036] The feature preliminary screening module includes five basic models of ELM, BP, RBF, RF and KNN.
[0037] Extreme learning machine (ELM) is a single hidden layer feedforward neural network architecture, and its core feature lies in the random initialization mechanism of the hidden layer parameters. The network is composed of an input layer, a nonlinear hidden layer and an output layer, and its breakthrough design is that the weight vector and bias value of the hidden layer neurons are generated in a random way, without iterative optimization through the back propagation algorithm. The output layer weight is directly calculated by an analytical method (such as least squares method). This non-iterative training method significantly improves the learning speed, but the model performance is sensitive to the distribution of the initial random parameters, and unreasonable initialization may lead to poor prediction stability.
[0038] Backpropagation (BP) is the fundamental architecture in the field of deep learning, adopting a multi-layer perceptron structure consisting of an input layer, multiple hidden layers, and an output layer. Its core learning mechanism is based on the chain rule of differentiation, calculating the predicted output through forward propagation, backpropagating the error gradient, and adjusting the connection weights and bias values between neurons layer by layer using gradient descent. Despite the need to optimize a large number of parameters, BP networks and their variants (such as CNN and RNN) have become standard tools in image recognition, speech processing, and other fields due to their powerful non-linear fitting capabilities, driving the deep learning revolution.
[0039] Random Forest (RF) is a representative algorithm in the field of ensemble learning, which improves the model's generalization ability by constructing a combination of multiple decision trees. This algorithm introduces double randomness: at the sample level, multiple training subsets are generated through Bootstrap sampling; at the feature level, a subset of features is randomly selected for evaluation at each node split. The final prediction result is integrated through voting (classification) or averaging (regression). Key hyperparameters include the number of decision trees (n_estimators) and the number of node split features (max_features), which directly affect the model's complexity and anti-overfitting ability.
[0040] Radial Basis Function (RBF) is a three-layer feedforward network, whose core design is to use radial basis functions (such as Gaussian functions) as activation functions in the hidden layer. Input signals are non-linearly mapped from low-dimensional to high-dimensional space through hidden layer nodes, and the output layer performs linear weighted combination of high-dimensional features. This network has global approximation characteristics and can theoretically approximate continuous functions with arbitrary precision. Key parameters include radial basis function centers (usually determined by clustering), width parameters (σ values), and output layer weights, which together determine the network's function approximation ability and classification boundary complexity.
[0041] K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) is an instance-based supervised learning algorithm suitable for classification and regression tasks. Its core idea is "birds of a feather flock together": for a new sample, calculate its distance (such as Euclidean distance) from all samples in the training set, select the nearest K neighbors, and make predictions through majority voting (classification) or averaging (regression). The value of K needs to be manually set, with smaller values being sensitive to noise and larger values potentially blurring class boundaries. The algorithm does not require explicit training, but has high computational overhead during prediction, making it suitable for small-scale data and sensitive to feature scaling, requiring normalization. Its advantages lie in simplicity and intuitiveness, while its disadvantages include distance invalidity in high-dimensional data and low efficiency.
[0042] The hyperparameter settings of the above five basic models have a great impact on performance, so an optimization algorithm is needed to find the optimal hyperparameters. PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization) is a swarm intelligence optimization method inspired by bird flocking. Particles update their positions and velocities by tracking individual historical best and global best. The core parameters include learning factor (c1 / c2) and inertia weight (w), which have global search ability and fast convergence. It is suitable for high-dimensional continuous problems such as function optimization and parameter tuning, but it may fall into local optimum and is sensitive to parameters in high-dimensional scenarios.
[0043] Therefore, PSO-SVM, PSO-BP, PSO-RBF, PSO-RF, and PSO-KNN are obtained. Five initial identification sub-models are obtained.
[0044] The feature preliminary screening module, based on known excavation parameters and geological parameters, inputs thrust, penetration, torque, and excavation speed into the five sub-models after training, and outputs the grouting rock mass characteristic parameters (rock mass thickness, inclination angle, compressive strength, and permeability coefficient) predicted by the model. Global optimization algorithm is used to find the optimal hyperparameters. 80% of the historical data is used for training, and 20% is used for testing. The trained model is used to identify and predict the surrounding rock grade.
[0045] The traditional D-S evidence theory method in the multi-modal fusion module has the following characteristics: D-S evidence theory mainly consists of identification framework, basic probability distribution function, and evidence combination rule.
[0046] First, identify the framework Θ={ θ 1, θ 2,..., θ n}, θ j is a subset of the identification framework Θ, 2 Θ ={A|A⊆Θ} is its power set, and if the mapping m :2 Θ → [0,1] satisfies the following conditions:
[0047] where Ø is the empty set, m is the basic probability function (BPA) of θ , m(A i ) is the support probability of a certain evidence in the identification framework for the subset A i , if m(A i ) >0, then AIt is a focal element of BPA.
[0048] The confidence function for BPA is:
[0049] Bel(A) This represents the sum of the probabilities of all subsets of an event and the probability that supports the event.
[0050] The likelihood function of BPA is:
[0051] Pl(A) This represents the sum of probabilities that the intersection with the event is not empty.
[0052] Pl(A)>Bel(A) , representing the upper and lower limits of support for the event, respectively.
[0053] For two independent pieces of evidence within the same forensic framework, their BPAs are respectively m 1 and m 2. The focus elements are respectively A 1, ... A k and B 1, ... B k The combination rules are as follows:
[0054] Preferably, the multimodal fusion module defines the thickness, tilt angle, compressive strength, and permeability coefficient of the grouting rock body as Θ = (I, II, III, and IV), and selects PSO-SVM, PSO-BP, PSO-RBF, PSO-RF, and PSO-KNN models as fusion evidence. In Θ, the support probability set for each piece of evidence for the rock characteristic parameters is a basic probability assignment function (BPA). m i (i = 1, 2, ..., 5). The prediction of each feature parameter sample yields the DS evidence theory probability matrix, as shown in Table 1.

[0056] Then, the weights between the evidence are calculated according to the formula, and the recognition results are fused according to the fusion rule formula.
[0057] Weight calculation formula: Evidence distance (Jousselme distance): First, construct the compatibility matrix 𝐷, whose elements are:
