| Abstract | Natural and man-made soil slope failures are complex phenomena and cause serious hazards in many countries of the world. As a result, public and private property is damaged worth millions of dollars. It is necessary to understand the processes causing failure of slopes and prediction of its vulnerability for proper mitigation of slope failure hazards. Various attempts have been made to predict the stability of slope using both conventional methods such as limit equilibrium method, finite element method, finite difference method and statistical methods. Artificial intelligence (AI) methods like artificial neural networks, genetic programming and genetic algorithms, and support vector machines are found to have better efficiency compared to statistical methods. The present study is an attempt to use recently developed AI methods such as functional networks (FNs), multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS), and multigene genetic programming (MGGP) to predict factor of safety of slope using slope stability data available in the literature. Prediction model equations are also provided, which can be used to predict the factor of safety of a slope. The performances of these AI techniques have been evaluated in terms of different statistical parameters such as average absolute error, maximum absolute error, root mean square error, correlation coefficient, and Nash–Sutcliff coefficient of efficiency. Of the available models, MARS model had better prediction performance in comparison with MGGP and FN models in terms of the above statistical criteria. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
