abstract = {To simulate fire spread, especially the pyrolysis process
– the thermal decomposition of a solid material – must
be predicted. Yet, needed material dependent reaction
kinetic parameters cannot be directly measured. Common
methods infer them from small scale tests with inverse
modelling approaches, which are computationally costly.
Here, a novel machine learning based approach utilising
extremely randomized trees (ERT) is presented and evaluated.
It aims to derive these parameters almost instantly due to
an inverse pre-trained surrogate model. The approach
consists of an ERT classifier, a non-linear least squares
optimiser and an ERT regressor. A thorough hyperparameter
study was conducted. The model is evaluated with a synthetic
thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) dataset. Calculated from an
Arrhenius model, it contains data for more than synthetic
materials consisting of up to three components. The method
is also applied on real experimental data, here polymethyl
methacrylate (PMMA), gained from the Measurement and
Computation of Fire Phenomena (MacFP) working group.
Evaluation of the model demonstrated that it can instantly
predict reaction kinetic parameters from TGA experiments for
synthetic and real materials. Systematic analysis showed an
overall score of 0.77 for the complete model predictions.
The code and datasets are published as open access.},
