Method for calibrating parameters of hydrology forecasting model based on deep reinforcement learning

Abstract

A method for calibrating parameters of a hydrology forecasting model based on a deep reinforcement learning includes selecting according to basin characteristics, and the parameters and parameter value ranges to be calibrated by the model are determined. The method includes a calibrating the parameters of the hydrology forecasting model is established, and three elements of the reinforcement learning, that is, a state space, an action space and a reward function are determined. The method includes a deep reinforcement learning method DQN is applied to optimize the parameters to be calibrated by the hydrology forecasting model. In the present disclosure, by setting a stride length of the action value for the deep reinforcement learning model, an accuracy finally optimized by the calibration parameters can be freely controlled, and a DQN algorithm is adopted to search the entire space for the calibration parameters to ensure the optimality for optimizing the calibrated parameters.
