Abstract

Accurate displacement prediction is critical for the early warning of landslides. The complexity of the coupling relationship between multiple influencing factors and displacement makes the accurate prediction of displacement difficult. Moreover, in engineering practice, insufficient monitoring data limit the performance of prediction models. To alleviate this problem, a displacement prediction method based on multisource domain transfer learning, which helps accurately predict data in the target domain through the knowledge of one or more source domains, is proposed. First, an optimized variational mode decomposition model based on the minimum sample entropy is used to decompose the cumulative displacement into the trend, periodic, and stochastic components. The trend component is predicted by an autoregressive model, and the periodic component is predicted by the long short-term memory. For the stochastic component, because it is affected by uncertainties, it is predicted by a combination of a Wasserstein generative adversarial network and multisource domain transfer learning for improved prediction accuracy. Considering a real mine slope as a case study, the proposed prediction method was validated. Therefore, this study provides new insights that can be applied to scenarios lacking sample data.
