This paper presents an alternative approach to predict rockburst using Machine Learning (ML) algorithms. The study used the Decision Tree (DT) algorithm and implemented two approaches: (1) using DT model for each rock type (DT-RT), and (2) developing a single DT model (Unique-DT) for all rock types. A dataset containing 210 records was collected. Training and testing were performed on this dataset with 5 input variables, which are: Rock Type, Depth, Brittle Index (BI), Stress Index (SI), and Elastic Energy Index (EEI). Other ML algorithms, such as Random Forest (RF), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Artificial Neural Network (ANN), K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), and Gradient-Boosting (AdaboostM1), were implemented as a form of comparison to the DT models developed. The evaluation metrics and relative importance were utilized to examine some characteristics of the DT methods. The Unique-DT model showed a promising result of the two DT models, giving an average of (F1 = 0.65) in rockburst condition prediction. Although RF and AdaboostM1 (F1 = 0.66) performed slightly better, Unique-DT is recommended for predicting rockburst conditions because it is easier, more effective, and more accurate.
