The paper introduces a Local-Geo and Spatial Context Fusion (LGSCF) strategy that combines point-based geo-environmental features with surrounding spatial context using a feature-wise modulation mechanism. Applied to nine CNN models over a 2644 km² area in Taiwan, LGSCF consistently outperforms baseline models, achieving F1-scores up to 87.09% and AUC values up to 0.9472. The resulting susceptibility maps more accurately concentrate known landslides in high-risk zones with fewer misclassifications.

arXiv:2606. 10069v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this paper we build upon a previous study in which we demonstrated, using XGBoost and earthquake catalogue data from Japan and Chile, that a set of 60 seismic statistical features (SSFs) had much greater predictive value than a set of 428 generic time series features from the tsfresh package.
