For micro-motion sensor and electromagnetic sensor data features, extract their time domain features, frequency domain features, and spatial features; for natural potential data features, extract their time domain features and spatial features.

[0108] Example: 1. The steps for extracting multi-source heterogeneous data are as follows:

[0149] (2) Lightweight time series prediction model: The input layer is designed as a high-dimensional time series matrix after the fusion of multi-source features. A prediction model combining temporal convolutional network (TCN) and physical residual learning is adopted. The backbone network is determined to be TCN, which captures the temporal dependencies. Physical constraint branches are used to embed geomechanical equations to enhance the physical interpretability of the model.

[0150] Example: Time Series Forecasting Model Architecture

[0151] 1. Input layer design: high-dimensional time series matrix after multi-source feature fusion

[0152] Shape: X∈R T×D , where T is the time step (e.g., 300 steps, corresponding to a 5-minute window), and D is the total feature dimension (for example: 10 dimensions for micromotion + 8 dimensions for electromagnetics + 5 dimensions for natural potential → D = 23).

[0153] Normalization: Z-Score normalization is performed independently on each feature dimension: Among them, μ train ,σ train Calculated based on the training set.

[0154] 2.TCN backbone network: captures temporal dependencies and extracts high-order features.
