Abstract:
The paper describes a self-organizing Kohonen map (SOM) that analyzes the mudflow
type. SOM is trained on real cadastre data of mudflow danger in the south of the European part of
Russia. The purpose of the work is to obtain forecasts of mudflow types. The results of the work show
that SOM provides good accuracy in predicting mudflow types. The main task will be to cluster data
related to geological and meteorological factors in order to identify patterns that can be used to predict
the risk of occurrence of various mudflow types. It is expected that the results of this work will
contribute to more accurate and on time forecasting of mudflows, which, in turn, will help minimize
damage from these natural phenomena.
