A comparative study of mutual information-based input variable selection strategies for the displacement prediction of seepage-driven landslides using optimized support vector regression

Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly popular and useful for modeling landslide movement processes due to its advantages of providing excellent generalization ability and accurately describing complex and nonlinear behavior. However, the identification of key variables is a crucial step in ensuring robustness and accuracy in AI modeling, but thus far, little attention has been given to this topic. In the present study, mutual...
