Abstract: This article proposes a novel approach for predicting concrete compressive strength using deep learning techniques. It overcomes limitations of traditional methods like memory footprint, training time, and computational requirements for predicting concrete compressive strength. Currently various filter pruning techniques are used to compress models by removing irrelevant information, but they cannot decrease memory consumption due to their large parameters. So, the entropy-based filter pruning is suggested to reduce the complexity of the model by decreasing the parameters. Then for training the CNN model, the modified resilient backpropagation technique (MRPROP) is suggested, because the previous backpropagation techniques take more time for training and also it loss the accuracy. This MRPROP improve the efficiency and convergence of CNN training and also it updates the models weight. The proposed approach demonstrated superior performance in mean squared error, root mean squared error, loss function, and regression analysis, as per the experimental results.
Keywords: machine learning; deep learning; convolutional neural network; CNN; pruning technique; backpropagation.
