This study presents the performance of three machine learning (ML) models including gradient boosting regression trees (GBRT), artificial neural network model (ANN), and artificial neural network–particle swarm optimization (ANN-PSO) for predicting the axial compression capacity (ACC) of cold‑formed steel elliptical hollow section (EHS) columns. To achieve the goal, a set of 291 data is collected from previous studies to develop GBRT, ANN, and ANN-PSO models. The performance of GBRT, ANN, and ANN-PSO models is evaluated based on the statistical indicators, which are and . The results show that the ANN-PSO model with and has the best performance compared to GBRT and ANN models. Moreover, a graphical user interface tool is developed based on the ANN-PSO model for practical designs.
