description The construction of a reasonable and reliable deformation prediction model is of great practical significance for dam safety assessment and risk decision-making. Traditional dam deformation prediction models are susceptible to interference from redundant features, weak generalization ability, and a lack of model interpretation. Based on this, a deformation prediction model that considers the lag effect of environmental quantities is proposed. The model first constructs a new deformation lag influence factor based on the plain HST model through the lag quantization algorithm. Secondly, the attention and memory capacity of the model is improved by introducing a multi-head attention mechanism to the features of the long-time domain deformation influence factor, and finally, the extracted dynamic features are transferred to the ConvLSTM model for learning, training, and prediction. The results of the simulation tests based on the measured deformation data of an active dam show that the introduction of the deformation lag factor not only improves the interpretation of the prediction model for deformation but also makes the prediction of deformation more accurate, and it can improve the evaluation indexes such as RMSE by 50%, the nMAPE by 40%, and R<sup>2</sup> by 10% compared with the traditional prediction model. The combined prediction model is more capable of mining the hidden features of the data and has a deeper picture of the overall peak and local extremes of the deformation data, which provides a new way of thinking for the dam deformation prediction model.
