In this paper, researchers tackle two significant challenges in deep learning: classifying seismic waveforms and estimating model uncertainty. To address these issues, they develop Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) to classify seismic waveforms based on first-motion polarity. They train multiple CNN models with different settings and construct ensembles of networks to estimate uncertainty. The results show that each training setting achieves satisfactory performances, but the ensemble method outperforms individual networks in uncertainty estimation. Furthermore, they find that enhancing the uncertainty estimation ability of ensembles using dropout layers improves robustness to mislabeled examples.

This study shows how deep learning models can be used to classify seismic waveforms and estimate model uncertainty. The researchers use Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) to classify seismic waveforms based on first-motion polarity. They train multiple CNN models with different settings and combine them to get a better result. This helps them figure out how certain the model is about its answers. They also find that using something called dropout layers can make their model more robust to mistakes in the data.
