Predicting transmission loss in underwater acoustics using convolutional recurrent autoencoder network
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Underwater noise transmission in the ocean environment is a complex physical phenomenon involving not only widely varying physical parameters and dynamical scales but also uncertainties in the ocean parameters. It is challenging to construct generalized physical models that can predict transmission loss in a broad range of situations. In this regard, we propose a convolutional recurrent autoencoder network (CRAN) architecture, which is a data-driven deep learning model for learning far-field acoustic propagation. Being data-driven, the CRAN model relies only on the quality of the data and is agnostic to how the data are obtained. The CRAN model can learn a reduced-dimensional representation of physical data and can predict the far-field acoustic signal transmission loss distribution in the ocean environment. We demonstrate the ability of the CRAN model to learn far-field transmission loss distribution in a two-dimensional ocean domain with depth-dependent sources. Results show that the CRAN can learn the essential physical elements of acoustic signal transmission loss generated due to geometric spreading, refraction, and reflection from the ocean surface and bottom. Such ability of the CRAN to learn complex ocean acoustics transmission has the potential for real-time far-field underwater noise prediction for marine vessel decision-making and online control.

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.
