Adaptive wavelets for analyzing dispersive seismic waves
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Our primary objective is to develop an efficient and accurate method for analyzing time series with a multiscale character. Our motivation stems from the studies of the physical properties of marine sediment (stiffness and density) derived from seismic acoustic records of surface/interface waves along the water-seabed boundary. These studies depend on the dispersive characteristics of water-sediment surface waves. To obtain a reliable retrieval of the shear-wave velocities, we need a very accurate time-frequency record of the surface waves. Such a time-frequency analysis is best carried out by a wavelet-transform of the seismic records. We have employed the wavelet crosscorrelation technique for estimating the shear-wave propagational parameters as a function of depth and horizontal distance. For achieving a greatly improved resolution in time-frequency space, we have developed a new set of adaptive wavelets, which are driven by the data. This approach is based on a Karhunen-Loeve (KL) decomposition of the seismograms. This KL decomposition allows us to obtain a set of wavelet functions that are naturally adapted to the scales of the surface-wave modes. We demonstrate the superiority of these adaptive wavelets over standard wavelets in their ability to simultaneously discriminate the different surface-wave modes. The results can also be useful for imaging and statistical data analysis in exploration geophysics and in other disciplines in the environmental sciences.

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.
