In the field of machine learning, iris classification is a classic problem of pattern recognition, and its accurate identification is of great significance to botanical research, ecological protection and horticultural practice, but the existing methods have shortcomings such as complex computation and insufficient generalization ability. The BP neural network model constructed in this paper solves the problem of iris classification prediction, and a stable iris classification prediction model is trained, which effectively fits the mapping relationship between features and categories through the nonlinear transformation of multi-layer neurons. After pretreatment and multiple rounds of training, the model achieved an accuracy rate of 0.91 and an F1 score of 0.86 on the test set, indicating that it could reliably distinguish iris varieties. This study provides efficient classification tools and optimization ideas for practitioners in the fields of horticultural variety screening, botanical classification statistics, and ecological survey.
