Deep learning methods for underground deformation time-series prediction

Prediction is a vague concept that is why we need to conceptualize it specifically for underground deformation time-series data. For this impending issue, this paper employs an advanced deep learning model Bi-LSTM-AM to address it. The results show its applicability for practical engineering. The proposed model is compared with other basic deep learning models including long short-term memory (LSTM), Bi-LSTM, gated recurrent units (GRU), and temporal convolutional networks (TCN). These models cover the most common three forms of deep learning for time-series prediction: recurrent neural networks (RNN) and convolutional neural networks (CNN). This research is supposed to benefit the underground deformation time-series prediction.
