Slope stability prediction based on a long short-term memory neural network: comparisons with convolutional neural networks, support vector machines and random forest models

Abstract The numerical simulation and slope stability prediction are the focus of slope disaster research.Recently, machine learning models are commonly used in the slope stability prediction.However, these machine learning models have some problems, such as poor nonlinear performance, local optimum and incomplete factors feature extraction.These i
