Program introduction

This program introduces machine learning techniques tailored to seismic data processing, with an emphasis on practical implementation, physical validity, and applications relevant to current industry problems.

Program scope

The training connects classical physical wavefield operators with modern data-driven methods, including deep learning and hybrid physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) that respect the underlying wave equations.

Program topics

Core thematic pillars covered throughout the training:

Denoising & Interpolation

Deep learning architectures for random/coherent noise attenuation and spatial data reconstruction.

Deep Learning Architectures

CNNs, Transformers, and autoencoders adapted for 2D/3D seismic waveform interpretation.

Physics-Informed Neural Networks

Wave equation constraints built into neural networks to keep results physically consistent.

Industry & Research Case Studies

Real deployment scenarios across offshore exploration, DAS monitoring, and microseismic tracking.

Courses & teaching materials

Resources are organized to build from foundational knowledge up to reproducible workflows on complex 2D/3D seismic datasets.
