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.

SeisEvo: Evolution of Seismic Data Reconstruction Algorithms by Agents

SeisEvo is a method that uses a large language model (LLM) and multi‑agent search to evolve seismic data reconstruction algorithms rather than optimize a single result. Starting from a classical algorithm, the agents modify only user‑opened components, rejecting candidates that violate physical constraints and scoring the rest by execution. The resulting white‑box algorithms—such as a residual‑gated, phase‑aligned dip‑consistency projection for interpolation and a reliability‑grouped singular‑value shrinkage for simultaneous interpolation and denoising—outperform classic methods by several decibels and generalize to unseen data.

Inductively Scalable, Single-Step Neural Surrogates for Wave-Scattering Inverse Problems

The paper presents a method for training single‑step neural surrogates that can handle wave‑scattering problems with tens of thousands of controllable variables. By dynamically generating training examples that highlight surrogate errors and using a replay dataset with normalization, the authors achieve a surrogate that accurately simulates two‑dimensional wave scattering for up to 41,772 variables and generalizes to over 3 million variables without retraining. The surrogate is applied to forward simulations and inverse design of freeform beam splitters and gradient‑index lenses, achieving speedups up to 26.5× compared to traditional FDTD methods.
