Study Combines Seismic Statistical Features and VQ-VAE for Earthquake Prediction
A new arXiv paper extends earlier work showing that 60 seismic statistical features outperform hundreds of generic features for earthquake prediction when used with XGBoost on Japanese and Chilean catalogue data. The authors add a vector-quantized variational autoencoder to the pipeline, aiming to improve how well seismicity can be predicted across space and time.
