TY - JOUR TI - Prediction of rock slope failure based on multiple machine learning algorithms AU - Mnzool Mohammed JN - Thermal Science PY - 2024 VL - 28 IS - 6 SP - 4907 EP - 4916 PT - Article AB - Slope failures have the potential to seriously jeopardize access to sustainable development since they cause numerous casualties as well as disastrous effects on society and the economy. It is imperative to use precise operable computational designs in this case. This study examined the efficacy of five distinct machine learning models, namely support vector machines, decision trees, gradient boost machine learning, and random forest, in predicting the slope safety factors. This article's primary goal is to assess and improve the different machine learning-based analytical representations in relation factor of safety computations. The genetic algorithm mimics the processes of growth, hybridization, and mutagenesis found in the expected collection and inherent procedures to resolve the hyperparameters of machine learning algorithms. A total of 217 cases were collected in order to train and evaluate these models. Multiple convergence analysis is also used to study the independence of individual characteristics. The assessed methods' competence was assessed through the application of diverse performance assessment indicators. The various classifiers function satisfactorily for slope failure inquiry, according to the evaluation and comparison of the data. Random forest was found to be the best classification method for slope failure prediction, with an accuracy of 91%.
