野火后泥石流的预测对减轻强降雨期间社区、基础设施和资源的风险至关重要。然而,由于特征空间中泥石流与非泥石流事件重叠、模型可解释性需求以及训练数据有限,可靠机器学习模型的识别面临挑战。本文通过系统评估15种模型的预测性能、特征重要性和合成数据增强,在美国西部流域尺度的野火后泥石流观测数据上展开研究。重复分层交叉验证显示,TabPFN在无数据增强情况下表现最佳,威胁得分为0.637,紧随其后的是最优树模型。利用SHAP分析揭示短时降雨强度和风暴累积量始终为最重要特征,而烧伤严重度与地形特征贡献较小。进一步采用TabPFN生成样本进行合成数据增强,除卷积神经网络外,所有模型性能均提升,深度学习模型中平均威胁得分提高最大达+0.041。本研究通过严谨的模型基准测试、可解释特征分析与合成数据增强,构建了提升野火后泥石流预测的综合框架。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Prediction of post-wildfire debris flows is critical for mitigating hazards to communities, infrastructure, and resources during intense rainfall in recently burned areas. However, identifying reliable machine learning models is complicated by overlapping debris-flow and non-debris-flow events in feature space, the need for model interpretability, and limited training data. This paper addresses these challenges through a systematic evaluation of machine learning models in terms of predictive performance, feature importance, and synthetic data augmentation. Using basin-scale observations of post-wildfire debris-flow events across the western United States, we compare 15 models, including the Tabular Prior-Data Fitted Network (TabPFN). Repeated stratified cross-validation shows that TabPFN achieves the highest unaugmented performance with a threat score of 0.637, closely followed by the best tree-based models. SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) are used to identify the features driving predictions, revealing that short-duration rainfall intensity and storm accumulation consistently rank highest, while burn severity and terrain features contribute less. We further evaluate synthetic data augmentation using TabPFN-generated samples to address the scarcity of debris-flow observations. Synthetic augmentation improves the performance of all models except CNN, with the largest mean threat score increase of +0.041 among the deep learning models. By combining rigorous model benchmarking, interpretable feature analysis, and synthetic data augmentation, this work provides a comprehensive framework for improving post-wildfire debris-flow prediction.
