Abstract:

The reasonable establishment of high-precision landslide displacement prediction model has important reference value for landslide disaster prevention and early warning. In this study, a simple normalization method based on singular value decomposition is developed for the current data-driven landslide displacement prediction model, which has a strong dependence on the amount of data and limitations in dealing with the distributional drift characteristics of non-stationary landslide displacement monitoring data. This method can effectively solve the distribution drift problem of non-stationary landslide displacement data by segmentally normalizing the landslide displacement monitoring data and then combining the statistical characteristics of the extrapolation model for the inverse normalization process, and does not need to rely on large-scale data training, which can significantly improve the prediction ability of the prediction model for non-stationary landslide displacement. Tests with measured data of Heifangtai landslide in Gansu, a typical landslide domain in China, show that compared with the traditional z-score normalization method and no normalization, the method developed in this study can significantly improve the prediction accuracy of multi-class models, such as (multi-layer perceptron MLP), (long short-term memory LSTM), (gated recurrent unit GRU), and (temporal convolutional network TCN), and the average enhancement rate of (root mean square error RMSE) and (mean absolute error MAE) is more than 50%. The method in this study can significantly improve the stability of the model training process, effectively predict the sudden change of landslide displacement, and has a high value of practical popularization and application.
