ABSTRACT
Hydrological time series refers to the observation time point and the observed time value.
The simulation and prediction of hydrological time series will greatly improve the predictability
of hydrological time series, which is of great significance for hydrological forecasting. TensorFlow,
the second generation of artificial intelligence learning system in Google, has been favored by a large
number of researchers by virtue of its high flexibility, portability, multi-language support, and performance
optimization. However, the application of deep learning in hydrology is less. Based on the TensorFlow
framework, the AR model and the LSTM model are constructed in Python language. The hydrological
time series is used as the input object, and the model is deeply studied and trained to simulate and predict
the hydrological time series. The effect of the model was tested by fitting degrees and other indexes.
The fitting degree of the AR model is 0.9551, and the fitting degree of the LSTM model is 0.8012,
which shows the feasibility of the model for predicting the hydrological time series, and puts forward
the solution for the limitation of the existing analysis results.
