VQ-VAE and SSFs improve seismic hazard prediction

Researchers have developed a new method for assessing spatiotemporal seismic hazards by integrating seismic statistical features (SSFs) with a VQ-VAE model. This approach refines predictions to localized areas, focusing on a 24 km radius around candidate events. The study demonstrates that the VQ-VAE derived feature, which captures spatial seismic map information, significantly enhances prediction performance and can largely replace traditional methods like the b-value calculation.

    Spatiotemporal Seismic Hazard Assessment Using VQ-VAE and Seismic Statistical Features

    arXiv:2606.10069v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this paper we build upon a previous study in which we demonstrated, using XGBoost and earthquake catalogue data from Japan and Chile, that a set of 60 seismic statistical features (SSFs) had much greater predictive value than a s…
