Comparing machine learning methods for predicting seismic P-wave velocity on global scale

Comparing machine learning methods for predicting seismic P-wave velocity on global scale

A huge amount of ocean observation data is available. A purpose of interpreting that data in marine-geophysical applications is to find, for instance, anomalies which are the signs of reservoirs in earth layers beneath the ocean floor. In this position paper, we compare different machine learning methods to predict the overall trend of seismic P-wave velocity as a function of depth for any marine location. Our study is based on a dataset consisting of data from 333 boreholes and 38 geological and spatial predictors. Our preliminary results indicate that random forests provide best results on this dataset, but also suggest to apply data augmentation for improved results with other methods.

Abstract

A huge amount of ocean observation data is available. A purpose of interpreting that data in marine-geophysical applications is to find, for instance, anomalies which are the signs of reservoirs in earth layers beneath the ocean floor. In this position paper, we compare different machine learning methods to predict the overall trend of seismic P-wave velocity as a function of depth for any marine location. Our study is based on a dataset consisting of data from 333 boreholes and 38 geological and spatial predictors. Our preliminary results indicate that random forests provide best results on this dataset, but also suggest to apply data augmentation for improved results with other methods.
