Hydrological time series data is stochastic and complex, and the importance of its historical features is different. A single model is difficult to overcome its own limitations when dealing with hydrological time series prediction problems, and the prediction accuracy of a single model can be further improved. According to the characteristics of hydrological time series data, a CNN-BiLSTM water level prediction method with attention mechanism is proposed. In this paper, CNN extracts the spatial characteristics of water level data and BiLSTM learns the time period characteristics by combining the past and future sequence information, attention mechanism is introduced to focus the salient features in the sequence. Taking the hourly water level data of Pinghe basin in China as experimental basis, experimental result shows that this method is more accuracy than Support Vector Machine (SVM), Temporal Convolutional Neural network (TCN), and Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory network (BiLSTM) model.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
