The State of the Art in Deep Learning Applications, Challenges, and Future Prospects: A Comprehensive Review of Flood Forecasting and Management

Abstract

Floods are a devastating natural calamity that may seriously harm both infrastructure and people. Accurate flood forecasts and control are essential to lessen these effects and safeguard populations. By utilizing its capacity to handle massive amounts of data and provide accurate forecasts, deep learning has emerged as a potent tool for improving flood prediction and control. The current state of deep learning applications in flood forecasting and management is thoroughly reviewed in this work. The review discusses a variety of subjects, such as the data sources utilized, the deep learning models used, and the assessment measures adopted to judge their efficacy. It assesses current approaches critically and points out their advantages and disadvantages. The article also examines challenges with data accessibility, the interpretability of deep learning models, and ethical considerations in flood prediction. The report also describes potential directions for deep-learning research to enhance flood predictions and control. Incorporating uncertainty estimates into forecasts, integrating many data sources, developing hybrid models that mix deep learning with other methodologies, and enhancing the interpretability of deep learning models are a few of these. These research goals can help deep learning models become more precise and effective, which will result in better flood control plans and forecasts. Overall, this review is a useful resource for academics and professionals working on the topic of flood forecasting and management. By reviewing the current state of the art, emphasizing difficulties, and outlining potential areas for future study, it lays a solid basis. Communities may better prepare for and lessen the destructive effects of floods by implementing cutting-edge deep learning algorithms, thereby protecting people and infrastructure.

Optimized models and deep learning methods for drug response prediction in cancer treatments: a review

“…Since deep learning models can be difficult to read and comprehend, their practical applications are rather limited. There is a need for more research on the interpretability and transparency of DL models, as well as the development of methods for expressing and elucidating the decision-making processes of these models ( Kumar et al, 2023 ). DL has found extensive applications in constructing Artificial Intelligence (AI) models across various domains.…”

Advanced Machine Learning Techniques to Improve Hydrological Prediction: A Comparative Analysis of Streamflow Prediction Models

“…A special kind of recurrent neural network (RNN) called long short-term memory (LSTM) is made for sequential data. For short-term forecasting applications in particular, LSTMs have proved effective in capturing temporal relationships in streamflow data and producing precise forecasts [55,56]. Probabilistic models known as Gaussian processes (GPs) are capable of capturing errors in forecasts of streamflow.…”

Deep Learning for Predicting University Academic Fees in a Semi-Urban Area

“…The number of hidden layers defines the type of system: a surface learning system (with one to three hidden layers) or a deep learning system (with more than three hidden layers) (Badillo et al, 2020). Thus, starting from the three main parts of an artificial neural network, which are the input layer, the hidden layer and the output layer, a neural network can have a multitude of layers at each level, in which case we speak of Deep Learning (Kumar et al, 2023). The neural network was used in this research to train the model to predict the amount of academic fees to be paid per promotion.…”
