PINNs enhanced with wave physics improve seismic analysis accuracy

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have critically assessed the application of Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) for solving the elastic wave equation, a crucial task in seismology. Their findings indicate that while PINNs offer a promising meshfree alternative to traditional methods, they are not without challenges like spectral bias. The study demonstrates that integrating wave physics directly into the neural network architecture, such as by using custom wavelet or plane wave layers, significantly improves accuracy, reducing errors by approximately half compared to standard PINNs. This enhanced architecture also proved effective for the acoustic wave equation and enabled conditioning PINNs on seismic source locations, advancing potential for rapid seismic hazard detection. AI

IMPACT Novel neural network architectures could accelerate seismic analysis and hazard detection.
