Researchers have developed ROMNet, a novel approach that combines reduced order modeling (ROM) with machine learning to improve waveform inversion for seismic imaging. This method aims to reduce the computational cost and complexity associated with traditional full waveform inversion (FWI) by using a neural network to map ROM matrices to wave speeds more efficiently. ROMNet was tested using synthetic data and the GeoFWI dataset, showing competitive performance against other deep learning-based FWI techniques like Fourier-DeepONet and InversionNet. AI
