Abstract
Quarry explosions and other non-tectonic signals can contaminate seismic catalogues, especially in areas where dense seismic networks allow to detect even low energy events. This paper presents the algorithm adopted for the discrimination of non-tectonic earthquakes in central-eastern Italy, an area with a high rate of events of this kind (4500 were recorded in the 1996-2012 period). Starting from an empirical classification based on the analysis of areas in which the ratio between daytime and nighttime events is strongly anomalous, a waveform similarity approach allows to simplify the procedure of detection making the final classification more robust. The resulting catalogue of non-tectonic earthquakes (quarry blasts and other anomalous signals) is a useful tool for anyone wanting to carry out a careful analysis of the tectonic seismicity of central-eastern Italy.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
