Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The enormous amount of available multimedia information raises important questions in the scientific community as the availability of many data is useless without the ability to properly access, classify, and store them. Artificial intelligence is proving to be a feasible and promising answer to that problem as it is offering new methods, solutions, and different points of view in different fields as well as achieving outstanding results and successful solutions for different specific problems. Even signal processing approaches and methods have benefited from recent advances in artificial intelligence by yielding novel and improved tools for signal classification, prediction, estimation, manipulation, as well as making feasible frameworks available at an exceptionally large scale in both dimensionality and data size. On the other hand, the mathematical foundations of signal processing are contributing to the analysis of the strength and weakness of AI-based methods as well as to their theoretical characterization in order to overcome their inherent weaknesses.

This Special Issue aims to collect contributions related to current trends and open questions in AI and signal processing. Contributions focusing on both longstanding and emergent signal processing applications, advanced computational methods for AI in signal processing, new theoretical results and perspectives, and review papers are welcome.

We examine a classification task in which signals of naturally occurring earthquakes are categorized ranging from minor to major, based on their magnitude. Generalized to a single-label classification task, most prior investigations have focused on assessing whether an earthquake’s magnitude falls into the minor or large categories. This procedure is often not practical since the tremor it generates has a wide range of variation in the neighboring regions based on the distance, depth, type of surface, and several other factors. We present an integrated 3-dimensional convolutional recurrent neural network (3D-CNN-RNN) trained to classify the seismic waveforms into multiple categories based on the problem formulation. Recent studies demonstrate using artificial intelligence-based techniques in earthquake detection and location estimation tasks with progress in collecting seismic data. However, less work has been performed in classifying the seismic signals into single or multiple categories. We leverage the use of a benchmark dataset comprising of earthquake waveforms having different magnitude and present 3D-CNN-RNN, a highly scalable neural network for multi-label classification problems. End-to-end learning has become a conventional approach in audio and image-related classification studies. However, for seismic signals classification, it has yet to be established. In this study, we propose to deploy the trained model on personal seismometers to effectively categorize earthquakes and increase the response time by leveraging the data-centric approaches. For this purpose, firstly, we transform the existing benchmark dataset into a series of multi-label examples. Secondly, we develop a novel 3D-CNN-RNN model for multi-label seismic event classification. Finally, we validate and evaluate the learned model with unseen seismic waveforms instances and report whether a specific event is associated with a particular class or not. Experimental results demonstrate the superiority and effectiveness of the proposed approach on unseen data using the multi-label classifier. Full article
