Quantification of uncertainty in 3-D seismic interpretation: implications for deterministic and stochastic geomodeling and machine learning [PDF]
In recent years, uncertainty has been widely recognized in geosciences, leading to an increased need for its quantification. Predicting the subsurface is an especially uncertain effort, as our information either comes from spatially highly limited direct

Developing a seismic pattern interpretation network (SpiNet) for automated seismic interpretation [PDF]
Seismic interpretation is now serving as a fundamental tool for depicting subsurface geology and assisting activities in various domains, such as environmental engineering and petroleum exploration. However, most of the existing interpretation techniques are designed for interpreting a certain seismic pattern (e.g., faults and salt domes) in a given ...

3D seismic interpretation with deep learning: A brief introduction
Understanding the internal structure of our planet is a fundamental goal of the earth sciences. As direct observations are restricted to surface outcrops and borehole cores, we rely on geophysical data to study the earth's interior.

Identification and Interpretation of fan deposits in Block H12 of Beixi subsag, Beier depression, Hailar basin [PDF]
Fan deposits in the Nantun formation in Beier depression have been drilled in the past two decades. It’s difficult to identify and describe subtle traps formed by fans by seismic interpretation. By using a combination of seismic interpretation techniques
