Problem the AI is intended to solve

The AI model improves the rapid detection of earthquakes.

Expected benefits

Reduces the time analysts need to work on poorly located or incorrect earthquake detections.

System outputs

The algorithms predicts the type of seismic phases detected, the distance the earthquake is from the receiver, and improves the event detection time.
