SeisCLIP: A seismology foundation model pre-trained by multi-modal data for multi-purpose seismic feature extraction
Training specific deep learning models for particular tasks is common across
various domains within seismology. However, this approach encounters two
limitations: inadequate labeled data for certain tasks and limited
generalization across regions. To address these challenges, we develop
SeisCLIP, a seismology foundation model trained through contrastive learning
from multi-modal data. It consists of a transformer encoder for extracting
crucial features from time-frequency seismic spectrum and an MLP encoder for
integrating the phase and source information of the same event. These encoders
are jointly pre-trained on a vast dataset and the spectrum encoder is
subsequently fine-tuned on smaller datasets for various downstream tasks.
Notably, SeisCLIP's performance surpasses that of baseline methods in event
classification, localization, and focal mechanism analysis tasks, employing
distinct datasets from different regions. In conclusion, SeisCLIP holds
significant potential as a foundational model in the field of seismology,
paving the way for innovative directions in foundation-model-based seismology
research.Comment: 27 pages, 9 figures, 4 table
Seismic Foundation Model (SFM): a new generation deep learning model in geophysics
While computer science has seen remarkable advancements in foundation models,
which remain underexplored in geoscience. Addressing this gap, we introduce a
workflow to develop geophysical foundation models, including data preparation,
model pre-training, and adaption to downstream tasks. From 192 globally
collected 3-D seismic volumes, we create a carefully curated dataset of
2,286,422 2-D seismic images. Fully using these unlabeled images, we employ the
self-supervised learning to pre-train a Transformer-based Seismic Foundation
Model (SFM) for producing all-purpose seismic features that work across various
tasks and surveys. Through experiments on seismic facies classification,
geobody identification, interpolation, denoising, and inversion, our
pre-trained model demonstrates versatility, generalization, scalability, and
superior performance over baseline models. Conclusively, we provide a
foundation model and vast dataset to advance AI in geophysics, addressing
challenges (poor generalization, lacking labels, and repetitive training for
task-specified models) of applying AI in geophysics and paving the way for
future innovations in geoscience.Comment: 27 pages, 9 figures, and 4 table
TraInterSim: Adaptive and Planning-Aware Hybrid-Driven Traffic Intersection Simulation
Traffic intersections are important scenes that can be seen almost everywhere
in the traffic system. Currently, most simulation methods perform well at
highways and urban traffic networks. In intersection scenarios, the challenge
lies in the lack of clearly defined lanes, where agents with various motion
plannings converge in the central area from different directions. Traditional
model-based methods are difficult to drive agents to move realistically at
intersections without enough predefined lanes, while data-driven methods often
require a large amount of high-quality input data. Simultaneously, tedious
parameter tuning is inevitable involved to obtain the desired simulation
results. In this paper, we present a novel adaptive and planning-aware
hybrid-driven method (TraInterSim) to simulate traffic intersection scenarios.
Our hybrid-driven method combines an optimization-based data-driven scheme with
a velocity continuity model. It guides the agent's movements using real-world
data and can generate those behaviors not present in the input data. Our
optimization method fully considers velocity continuity, desired speed,
direction guidance, and planning-aware collision avoidance. Agents can perceive
others' motion planning and relative distance to avoid possible collisions. To
preserve the individual flexibility of different agents, the parameters in our
method are automatically adjusted during the simulation. TraInterSim can
generate realistic behaviors of heterogeneous agents in different traffic
intersection scenarios in interactive rates. Through extensive experiments as
well as user studies, we validate the effectiveness and rationality of the
proposed simulation method.Comment: 13 pages, 12 figure

Genesis of the Wutuogou Ag-Pb-Zn deposit in the Eastern Kunlun Orogenic Belt, NW China: Constraints from calcite U-Pb geochronology, mineral chemistry, and in-situ sulfur isotopes
The Wutuogou Ag-Pb-Zn deposit, a newly discovered vein-type deposit, is located in the Eastern Kunlun Orogenic Belt (EKOB), northwestern China. The vein-type Ag-Pb-Zn ore bodies are hosted in Middle Triassic granodiorite and monzogranite and are characterized by high-grade Ag, Pb, and Zn (average Ag: 293 g/t, Pb: 3.00 %, Zn: 2.85 %). Three paragenetic stages have been recognized: quartz + pyrite (Py-1) + arsenopyrite (stage I), pyrite (Py-2) + sphalerite + chalcopyrite + tetrahedrite + quartz (substage II-1), galena + pyrargyrite + freibergite + freieslebenite + quartz + calcite (substage II-2), and quartz + calcite (stage III). Except for Ag-bearing minerals (pyrargyrite, freibergite, and freieslebenite), invisible silver is also present in pyrite (1.91–165 ppm), sphalerite (3.86–8806 ppm), and galena (up to 0.21 wt%). The calcite is closely associated with sulfides in substage II-2 and yields a U-Pb age of 210 ± 7 Ma (MSWD = 2.7), which represents the ore-forming age (lower limit). Py-1 displays higher As contents and lower Co contents than those of Py-2, indicating a decrease in temperature from stage I to stage II. In addition, the Fe/Zn mass ratios (0.025–0.075) of sphalerite estimate the fluid temperature for substage II-1 of 246–284 ◦C, whereas the Ag/(Ag + Cu) and Zn/(Zn + Fe) mole ratios of freibergite estimate the fluid temperature for substage II-2 of 140–270 ◦C, further indicating the decrease of temperature from stage I through substage II-1 to substage II-2. Mineral assemblages of pyrite-chalcopyrite-tetrahedrite in substage II-1 and Ag-sulfosalts in substage II-2 suggest a decrease in sulfur fugacity (fS2). Both the decrease in fS2 and cooling of the mineralizing fluids facilitate silver precipitation. The heterogeneous compositions of the freibergite and the Ag zonation in sphalerite (Sp-1) resulted from retrograde solid-state reactions that redistributed Ag through microscale exsolution. The δ34S values (+5.49 to +7.78 ‰) of the sulfides and the low Zn/Cd ratios (107–195) of sphalerite indicate a felsic magma source for the ore-forming materials. Therefore, we concluded that the Wutuogou Ag-Pb-Zn deposit corresponds to a medium- to low-temperature magmatic-hydrothermal deposit associated with Late Triassic magmatism in the Eastern Kunlun Orogenic Belt (EKOB)Genesis of the Wutuogou Ag-Pb-Zn deposit in the Eastern Kunlun Orogenic Belt, NW China: Constraints from calcite U-Pb geochronology, mineral chemistry, and in-situ sulfur isotopespublishedVersio
