The Metal Matrix Composite (MMC) technology of today is a challenging topic with novel developments. MMC materials have a key role in space, automotive, naval, and aviation industries and supplies of the defense industry owing to their superior specifications. Hence, advancing the machining quality of these materials is an essential point. This work presents a machine learning-based prediction model for the surface roughness of LM25/SiC/4p composite. The related dataset is linked to an MMC, which is machined with a cylindrical grinder, so the input parameters of the model are depth of cut, wheel velocity, feed, and velocity of the workpiece. The proposed model is based on a state of the art machine-learning method called Gaussian Process Regression (GPR). Alongside its robust performance in the small datasets, GPR has the ability with its Bayesian approach basis in providing uncertainty evaluation on the predicted values. Parameter optimization is also applied to the proposed GPR model. For a better evaluation of the GPR, a support vector machine-based prediction model is also tested. In addition to the data split test method, models are tested with a 5-fold cross-validation algorithm. The experimental results present that the proposed GPR model reaches an adequate accuracy in terms of R-square, root mean squared error, and mean absolute error criteria.
