Abstract
Abstract. Snow avalanches cause danger to human lives and property
worldwide in high-altitude mountainous regions. Mathematical models based on past data records can predict the danger level. In this paper, we are
proposing a neural network model for predicting avalanches. The model is
trained with a quality-controlled sub-dataset of the Swiss Alps. Training
accuracy of 79.75 % and validation accuracy of 76.54 % have been
achieved. Comparative analysis of neural network and random forest models
concerning metrics like precision, recall, and F1 has also been carried out.
期刊介绍:
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences (NHESS) is an interdisciplinary and international journal dedicated to the public discussion and open-access publication of high-quality studies and original research on natural hazards and their consequences. Embracing a holistic Earth system science approach, NHESS serves a wide and diverse community of research scientists, practitioners, and decision makers concerned with detection of natural hazards, monitoring and modelling, vulnerability and risk assessment, and the design and implementation of mitigation and adaptation strategies, including economical, societal, and educational aspects.
