| Abstract | Flooding is becoming a prominent issue in coastal cities, flood forecasting is the key to solving this problem. However, the lack and imbalance of research data and the insufficient performance of the model have led to the complexity and uncontrollability of flood forecasting. To forecast coastal floods accurately and reliably, the Internet of Things technology is used to collect data on floods and flood factors in smart cities. An ensemble learning method based on Bayesian model combination (BMC-EL) is designed to predict flood depth. First, flood intensity classification and K-fold cross-validation are introduced to generate multiple training subsets from the training set to realize uniform sampling and increase the diversity of subsets. Second, the backpropagation neural network (BPNN) and random forest (RF) are used as the base learners to build the prediction model and then import it into training subsets for training purposes. Finally, based on the prediction performance of the base learner in the validation sets, the Bayesian model combination strategy is formulated to integrate and output predicted values. We describe experiments conducted to forecast flood depth 1 h in advance that several machine learning models were trained and tested using real flood data taken from Macao, China. The models include linear regression, support vector machine, BPNN, RF and BMC-EL models. Results prove the accuracy and reliability of the BMC-EL method in flood forecasting for coastal cities. |
