TY - JOUR AU - Li, X. AB - This paper presents an optimized machine learning-based approach for hard disk failure prediction, specifically tailored for shipboard systems. In shipboard systems, unexpected hard disk failures can disrupt operations and lead to critical data loss; therefore, reliable failure prediction is essential. To address the impact of dataset imbalance on predictive performance, we employed the Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique (SMOTE) alongside a fault-backtracking method to transform the imbalanced dataset into a balanced one, thereby enhancing the algorithm's predictive accuracy. Four machine learning algorithms were utilized in this study: K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Logistic Regression (LR), Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), and Random Forest (RF). Experimental results demonstrated that the RF algorithm achieved an accuracy of 97.1%, outperforming the other algorithms across all evaluation metrics. The contribution of this work lies in providing a feasible solution for hard disk failure prediction in shipboard systems through effective data processing strategies and algorithm selection, ultimately enhancing shipboard safety and reliability.
