description Accurate and effective landslide prediction and early detection of potential geological hazards are of great importance for landslide hazard prevention and control. However, due to the hidden, sudden, and uncertain nature of landslide disasters, traditional geological survey and investigation methods are time-consuming and laborious, and it is difficult to timely and accurately investigate and predict slope stability over a large area. Machine learning approaches provide an opportunity to address this limitation. Here, we present an intelligent slope stability assessment method based on a genetic algorithm optimization of random forest algorithm (GA-RF algorithm). Based on 80 sets of typical slope samples, weight (γ), slope height (H), pore pressure value (P), cohesion force (C), internal friction angle (φ) and slope inclination angle (°) were selected as characteristic variables for slope stability evaluation. Based on the GA-RF algorithm and incorporating 10-fold cross validation, a regression prediction model is trained on the training dataset, and then regression prediction is performed on the test dataset to verify the predictive performance of the model. The results indicate that the GA-RF prediction model has decent regression performance and has certain potential for slope stability analysis.
