Real-time perception of rock mass information is of great importance to efficient tunneling and hazard prevention in tunnel boring machines (TBMs). In this study, a TBM–rock mutual feedback perception method based on data mining (DM) is proposed, which takes 10 tunneling parameters related to surrounding rock conditions as input features. For implementation, first, the database of TBM tunneling parameters was established, in which 10,807 tunneling cycles from the Songhua River water conveyance tunnel were accommodated. Then, the spectral clustering (SC) algorithm based on graph theory was introduced to cluster the TBM tunneling data. According to the clustering results and rock mass boreability index, the rock mass conditions were classified into four classes, and the reasonable distribution intervals of the main tunneling parameters corresponding to each class were presented. Meanwhile, based on the deep neural network (DNN), the real-time prediction model regarding different rock conditions was established. Finally, the rationality and adaptability of the proposed method were validated via analyzing the tunneling specific energy, feature importance, and training dataset size. The proposed TBM–rock mutual feedback perception method enables the automatic identification of rock mass conditions and the dynamic adjustment of tunneling parameters during TBM driving. Furthermore, in terms of the prediction performance, the method can predict the rock mass conditions ahead of the tunnel face in real time more accurately than the traditional machine learning prediction methods.
