Integrated Machine Learning Approaches for Landslide Susceptibility Mapping Along the Pakistan–China Karakoram Highway by Mohib Ullah, Haijun Qiu, Wenchao Huangfu, Dongdong Yang, Yingdong Wei, Bingzhe Tang

“…To address this, this study assessed the performance of six machine learning models, including Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), Random Forest (RF), Categorical Boosting (CatBoost), their CNN-based hybrid models (CNN+RF and CNN+CatBoost), and a Stacking Ensemble (SE) combining CNN, RF, and CatBoost in mapping landslide susceptibility along the Karakoram Highway in northern Pakistan. …”

A New Frontier in Wind Shear Intensity Forecasting: Stacked Temporal Convolutional Networks and Tree-Based Models Framework by Afaq Khattak, Jianping Zhang, Pak-wai Chan, Feng Chen, Abdulrazak H. Almaliki

“…The framework utilizes the ability of TCNs to capture intricate temporal patterns and integrates it with the predictive strengths of TBMs, such as Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), Random Forest (RF), and Categorical Boosting (CatBoost), resulting in robust forecast. To ensure optimal performance, hyperparameter tuning was performed using the Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategy (CMA-ES), enhancing predictive accuracy. …”
