Popis: The prediction of liquefaction susceptibility for highly unbalanced database with limited and important input parameters is a crucial issue. The proposed multi-objective feature selection algorithms (MOFS) were applied to highly unbalanced databases of in situ tests: standard penetration test (SPT), cone penetration test (CPT) and shear wave velocity (Vs) test. Two multi-objective algorithms, non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) and multi-objective symbiotic organisms search algorithm (MOSOS), were coupled with learning algorithms, artificial neural network (ANN) and multivariate adaptive regression spline (MARS) separately to effectively select the optimal parameters and simultaneously minimize the error. The obtained optimal point has approximately equal accuracy in both liquefiable and non-liquefiable conditions for training and testing. The important inputs found for models based on SPT are: (N1)60, amax and Mw; CPT: qc1, amax and CSR and Vs: Vs1, CSR, amax and Mw. The CPT-based models were found to be the most efficient.
