Modified Gauss-Newton with sparse updates
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Full-waveform inversion (FWI) is a data fitting procedure that relies on the collection of seismic data volumes and sophisticated computing to create high-resolution models. With the advent of FWI, the improvements in acquisition and inversion have been substantial, but these improvements come at a high cost because FWI involves extremely large multi-experiment data volumes. The main obstacle is the ‘curse of dimensionality’ exemplified by Nyquist's sampling criterion, which puts a disproportionate strain on current acquisition and processing systems as the size and desired resolution increases. In this paper, we address the ‘curse of dimensionality’ by using randomized dimensionality reduction of the FWI problem, coupled with a modified Gauss-Newton (GN) method designed to promote curvelet-domain sparsity of model updates. We solve for these updates using the spectral projected gradient method, implemented in the SPGl1 software package. Our approach is successful because it reduces the size of seismic data volumes without loss of information. With this reduction, we can compute Gauss-Newton updates with the reduced data volume at the cost of roughly one gradient update for the fully sampled wavefield.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
