摘要

Solar flares have a major influence on space weather and technological systems. Predicting flares remains a difficult task because of the non-stationary and imbalanced nature of flare time series. This study introduces an enhanced deep LSTM network that integrates Seasonal-Trend decomposition using Loess (STL) within an encoder–decoder architecture. The proposed approach reduces data complexity by separating trend, seasonal, and residual components, facilitating the model’s ability to capture long-term temporal dependencies in flare activity. Experiments on the GOES X-ray flare catalog (2003–2023). The model achieves TSS of \(0.924\pm 0.008\) 0.924 ± 0.008 and an accuracy of 0.946 ± 0.008, demonstrating its robustness in handling complex, non-stationary data. These results confirm the effectiveness of combining decomposition-based preprocessing with deep learning architectures for forecasting flares. The findings underscore the importance of incorporating trend, seasonal, and residual components, together with adaptive resampling, to enhance flare prediction, thereby highlighting their potential for deployment in large-scale, high-performance, real-time forecasting environments.
