The invention provides a dam seepage prediction method based on an improved long-
short term memory deep learning model. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, mining five major factors, namely upstream
water level, downstream
water level, upstream and downstream
water level difference, temperature and rainfall, which are strong in seepage of the dam from hydrological characteristics, meteorological characteristics and interactive characteristics of the hydrological characteristics, the meteorological characteristics and the interactive characteristics through a
principal component analysis (PCA) method; and jointly forming a
time sequence data set required by
deep learning model training and testing. Secondly, constructing an improved long-short-
term memory deep learning model; the innovation points of the model comprise an improved elite
genetic algorithm for precise initialization of
network model parameters of binary and real number hierarchical
hybrid coding, collaborative elite tournament
strategy selection and dynamic comprehensive fitness evaluation, and a network back propagation process
parameter learning method based on the improved elite
genetic algorithm. And thirdly, performing model training based on the constructed model and the
data set, and completing seepage prediction. Finally, on the basis of actually monitored data, it is verified that the method provided by the invention has relatively strong advantages in prediction precision and generalization ability, and the method has relatively strong theoretical value for realizing intelligent and accurate prediction of dam seepage.
