Application of machine learning in slope stability assessment This book focuses on the application of machine learning in slope stability assessment. The contents include: overview of machine learning approaches the mainstream smart in situ monitoring techniques the applications of the main machine learning algorithms including the supervised learning unsupervised learning semi supervised learning reinforcement learning deep learning ensemble learning etc. in slope engineering and landslide prevention introduction of the smart in situ monitoring and slope stability assessment based on two well documented case histories the prediction of slope stability using ensemble learning techniques the application of Long Short Term Memory Neural Network and Prophet Algorithm in Slope Displacement Prediction displacement prediction of Jiuxianping landslide using gated recurrent unit (GRU) networks seismic stability analysis of slopes subjected to water level changes using gradient boosting algorithms efficient reliability analysis of slopes in spatially variable soils using XGBoost efficient time variant reliability analysis of Bazimen landslide in the Three Gorges Reservoir Area using XGBoost and LightGBM algorithms as well as the future work recommendation.The authors also provided their own thoughts learnt from these applications as well as work ongoing and future recommendations
