New AI method generates analytical rock physics models from data

Researchers have developed a novel method called rational function neural networks (RafNN) to create data-driven analytical models for rock physics. This approach allows for the extraction of model equations directly from observational data, bypassing complex physical derivations. The RafNN method successfully reconstructed the Gassmann's equation, a key theoretical model in rock physics, demonstrating its ability to generate models that align with both data and underlying physical principles. This technique offers a new pathway for constructing velocity models using neural networks and field data, which is valuable for studying Earth's heterogeneous structures. AI

IMPACT This method could streamline the creation of physical models by leveraging data, potentially accelerating research in geophysics and related fields.
