New York, October 7: Researchers have developed a novel artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm that correctly predicted 70 per cent of earthquakes a week before they happened during a seven-month trial in China, raising hopes that the technology could one day be used to limit earthquakes슬롯사이트� impact on lives and economies.

The AI, developed by researchers at The University of Texas at Austin, was trained to detect statistical bumps in real-time seismic data that researchers had paired with previous earthquakes.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Earthquake in Mexico: Qauke of Magnitude 6.0 Hits Near Oaxaca, No Immediate Reports of Damage.

The outcome was a weekly forecast in which the AI successfully predicted 14 earthquakes within about 200 miles of where it estimated they would happen and at almost exactly the calculated strength. It missed one earthquake and gave eight false warnings.

It슬롯사이트™s not yet known if the same approach will work at other locations, but the effort is a milestone in research for AI-driven earthquake forecasting. 슬롯사이트œPredicting earthquakes is the holy grail,슬롯사이트� said Sergey Fomel, Professor in UT슬롯사이트™s Bureau of Economic Geology.

슬롯사이트œWe슬롯사이트™re not yet close to making predictions for anywhere in the world, but what we achieved tells us that what we thought was an impossible problem is solvable in principle.슬롯사이트� The findings from the trial are published in the journal Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America.

슬롯사이트œYou don슬롯사이트™t see earthquakes coming,슬롯사이트� said Alexandros Savvaidis, a senior research scientist who leads the bureau슬롯사이트™s Texas Seismological Network Programme (TexNet) -- the state슬롯사이트™s seismic network.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Earthquake in Afghanistan: Two 6.3 Magnitude Earthquakes Kill at Least 15 and Injured Nearly 40 Others in Herat Province.

슬롯사이트œIt슬롯사이트™s a matter of milliseconds, and the only thing you can control is how prepared you are. Even with 70 per cent, that슬롯사이트™s a huge result and could help minimise economic and human losses and has the potential to dramatically improve earthquake preparedness worldwide.슬롯사이트�

The researchers said that their method had succeeded by following a relatively simple machine learning approach. The AI was given a set of statistical features based on the team슬롯사이트™s knowledge of earthquake physics, then told to train itself on a five-year database of seismic recordings.

Once trained, the AI gave its forecast by listening for signs of incoming earthquakes among the background rumblings in the Earth. The researchers are confident that in places with robust seismic tracking networks such as California, Italy, Japan, Greece, Turkey and Texas, the AI could improve its success rate and narrow its predictions to within a few tens of miles.
