Using Seismic Statistical Features and VQ-VAE to Improve Spatiotemporal Seismicity Predictability

arXiv:2606. 10069v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: In this paper we build upon a previous study in which we demonstrated, using XGBoost and earthquake catalogue data from Japan and Chile, that a set of 60 seismic statistical features (SSFs) had much greater predictive value than a set of 428 generic time series features from the tsfresh package.

Generative wave propagator

arXiv:2607. 04440v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Seismic wavefield simulation is fundamental to seismology, but conventional finite-difference (FD) methods remain limited by numerical dispersion and stability constraints, which often require dense spatial grids and small time steps and thereby severely limit the effectiveness of iterative inversion workflows.

Seismic Site Response Prediction from Sparse Observations Using Finite-Element-Pretrained Latent Dynamics

The paper introduces FLARE‑T, a Transfer‑Enabled Forced Latent Autoencoder for Response Equations, which learns low‑dimensional latent dynamics from dense finite‑element simulations and calibrates them with sparse field observations. By mapping simulated sensor responses into a learned coordinate system, FLARE‑T improves multi‑depth acceleration predictions and pseudo‑acceleration spectra, reducing errors across various sensor locations and motion intensities. Evaluation on a layered‑soil centrifuge test and the Lotung field array demonstrates that FLARE‑T achieves comparable accuracy with different source models, indicating less reliance on precise prior calibration.

ROMNet: a hybrid reduced order modeling and machine learning approach to waveform inversion

ROMNet is a hybrid reduced‑order modeling and machine‑learning framework designed to improve waveform inversion for acoustic waves. It replaces the costly nonlinear mapping from a reduced‑order model (ROM) matrix to wave speed with a neural network that outputs a simpler ROM matrix, thereby reducing computational effort. The method is validated on two training datasets—random Gaussian‑based media and the GeoFWI benchmark—and compared against direct ROM inversion and two deep‑learning FWI approaches, Fourier‑DeepONet and InversionNet.
