This research focuses on the environmental-friendly production of Borassus fruit fibers (BNF), its characterization, and hygroscopic properties determination via Dynamic Vapor Sorption (DVS). The experimental results obtained from the hygroscopic behavior analysis were used to create a primary dataset to train and test Decision Tree Regression (DTR) and Gradient Boosting Regressor (GBR) models. The created primary dataset comprised 294 observations, from which 80% were used to train the models, and the remaining 20% were used for the testing of the two models. The models exhibited high accuracy, easy interpretability on the small-size dataset, and flexibility with regards to the nature of the relationship between the input and output variable. Both models successfully predicted the hygroscopic behavior with the Gradient Boosting Regressor outperforming Decision Tree Regression by indicating values of 0.012, 0.109, 0.059, and 0.999 for MSE, RMSE, MAE, and R2, respectively, during the desorption of the BNF, and values of 0.012, 0.109, 0.059, and 0.999 for MSE, RMSE, MAE, and R2, respectively, during the desorption of the BNF. This suggests that the Gradient Boosting Regressor illustrated the maximum accuracy. The outcomes can be utilized to provide an alternative for traditional methods, which can often be costly and time-consuming by improving the engineering properties of BNF. The models can be used in the construction sector to lower costs as they are able to pinpoint elements influencing the characteristics for specific applications to grasp its various properties through the prediction of its hygroscopic properties.
