Abstract:

Aiming at the problems of low accuracy and low efficiency of traditional soil water content prediction methods, support vector machine (SVM) was used to establish a prediction model, and the soil water content prediction method based on SVM optimized was proposed by the improved salp swarm algorithm.Firstly, the opposition-based learning and chaotic optimization were introduced to improve the standard salp swarm algorithm to solve the problem that the algorithm was easy to fall into the local optimal solution and its convergence speed was slow.Secondly, the improved salp swarm algorithm was used to optimize the parameters that affect the performance of SVM and the corresponding prediction model was built.Finally, the proposed model was compared with the particle swarm optimization SVM and the whale algorithm optimized SVM prediction model.The experimental results show that the mean square error and decision coefficient of the proposed model are 0.42 and 0.901, which are better than the other two models which verified the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Key words: soil water content prediction, support vector machine, salp swarm algorithm, opposition-based learning, chaotic optimization
