Machine Learning and Signal Processing for Seismic and Volcanic Data Analysis

Workshop of the 34th Italian Workshop on Neural Networks-WIRN 2026
June 9-12 2026, Vietri sul Mare (SA) ITALY

I. THEMES AND SCOPE

Seismic signal processing and volcanic data analysis are core components of modern seismology and volcanic monitoring. While classical signal processing techniques are well established, the increasing availability of large and complex datasets has motivated the adoption of machine learning and AI-based approaches.

The use of AI in this domain raises several open questions, including the relationship between data-driven methods and physical models, as well as issues of robustness, interpretability, and generalization across different seismic settings.

The workshop provides a forum discussing recent advances and open challenges in AI-driven seismic signal processing, with attention to both theoretical aspects and practical algorithms.

Contributors are invited to present original research, and ongoing work from both methodological and AI application-oriented perspectives.

II. TOPICS

  • Physical and mathematical modeling of seismic signals and volcanic data
  • Supervised, unsupervised, and self-supervised learning for seismic signals and volcanic data
  • Deep learning architectures for time series and waveform analysis
  • Machine learning and deep learning for seismic signals and volcanic data
  • Hybrid physics-informed and data-driven approaches
  • Applications in earthquake and volcano monitoring
  • Earthquake detection, localization, and early warning systems
