Abstract
Landslides pose significant challenges to slope stability evaluation due to their complex and unpredictable nature. This study introduces a novel machine learning model, KTAN (KAN-Transformer), to enhance slope stability prediction. By preprocessing slope stability classification data and landslide-influencing factors, we optimized five machine learning algorithms—Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest (RF), eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), Multiple Linear Regression (MLR), and KTAN—using Nested 10-Fold Cross-Validation (N10FCV) and Grid Search (GS). The models’ performance was assessed with metrics such as accuracy, F1-score, and AUC, and their uncertainty was evaluated via Monte Carlo simulation. Results demonstrate that KTAN outperforms the other models, achieving an accuracy of 0.94 and an F1-score of 0.95, offering a reliable and innovative approach to slope stability analysis.
期刊介绍:
Computational Science is a rapidly growing multi- and interdisciplinary field that uses advanced computing and data analysis to understand and solve complex problems. It has reached a level of predictive capability that now firmly complements the traditional pillars of experimentation and theory.
The recent advances in experimental techniques such as detectors, on-line sensor networks and high-resolution imaging techniques, have opened up new windows into physical and biological processes at many levels of detail. The resulting data explosion allows for detailed data driven modeling and simulation.
This new discipline in science combines computational thinking, modern computational methods, devices and collateral technologies to address problems far beyond the scope of traditional numerical methods.
Computational science typically unifies three distinct elements:
• Modeling, Algorithms and Simulations (e.g. numerical and non-numerical, discrete and continuous);
• Software developed to solve science (e.g., biological, physical, and social), engineering, medicine, and humanities problems;
• Computer and information science that develops and optimizes the advanced system hardware, software, networking, and data management components (e.g. problem solving environments).
