Abstract
Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning enable more accurate, scalable, and automated mapping. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the applications of AI, particularly deep learning, in landslide inventory mapping. In addition to examining commonly used data sources and model architectures, we explore innovative strategies such as feature enhancement and fusion, attention-boosted techniques, and advanced learning approaches, including active learning and transfer learning, to enhance model adaptability and predictability. We also highlight the remaining challenges and potential research directions, including the estimation of more diverse variables in landslide mapping, multimodal data alignment, modeling regional variability and replicability, as well as issues related to data misinterpretation and model explainability. This review aims to serve as a useful resource for researchers and practitioners, promoting the integration of deep learning into landslide research and disaster management.
