Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsTowards more Manageable Coastal Building; Initial Coastal Building Construction GuidelinesRoslan Talib, Mohd Z. SuliemanProblem statement: As we may not be aware that the coastal construction is different from inland construction. Building in a coastal environment is different from building in an inland area. In general, buildings in coastal areas must be designed and built to withstand higher loads due to its more extreme conditions. Nowadays, the issue of global warming, uncertainty of global … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 22 Aug 2011 · 8,650 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRandom Forest and Extreme Gradient Boosting with Bayesian Hyperparameter Optimization for Landslide Susceptibility Mapping in Penang Island, MalaysiaDorothy Anak Martin Atok, Soo See Chai, Kok Luong Goh et al.Landslide susceptibility models often face challenges of overfitting and overestimation. This research focuses on improving the predictive capabilities of the Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) and Random Forest (RF) algorithms by applying Bayesian Hyperparameter Optimization (BayesOpt). Penang Island, a region in Malaysia prone to frequent landslides, was chosen as the study area. Ten Landslide Conditioning Factors (LCFs), including elevation, slope angle, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 21, Issue 10 · 16 Dec 2025 · 3,103 accessesView PDFCite
