Can Subtle Shifts Predict the Big One? A New Approach to Earthquake Forecasting
![Model rescaling, evaluated using the Brier Skill Score (BSS) as a function of a multiplicative scaling factor and the mean number of earthquakes [latex]\overline{n\_{\mathrm{eq}}}[/latex], demonstrates that empirical BSS-based rescaling-obtained by fitting along the ridge of positive skill-and logit-based prior correction consistently outperform uncorrected methods, with the latter further refined by an offset calibrated to optimize BSS, as evidenced by comparative performance across both training and independent test epochs and substantiated by the distribution of [latex]\overline{n\_{\mathrm{eq}}}[/latex] for all space-time samples and those culminating in earthquakes with [latex]M\_{W} \geq 5[/latex].](https://arxiv.org/html/2603.03079v1/2603.03079v1/x1.png)
A new study explores whether deep learning, combined with analysis of the Gutenberg-Richter b-value, can offer a marginal improvement in predicting earthquake occurrences.
Decoding the Heart’s Signals: AI Predicts Structural Disease from Standard ECGs
![The additive model estimates entry-wise functions - termed “Partial Effect” and represented as [latex]\hat{f}_{j}(x)[/latex] - alongside corresponding “Predictive Value” expressed as [latex]\sigma\{\hat{h}_{j}(\mathbf{X})\}[/latex], where [latex]\hat{h}_{j}(\mathbf{X})[/latex] defines the function’s contribution, to discern patterns within datasets labeled with conditions such as inferior myocardial infarction (IMI), non-diagnostic T abnormalities (NDT), atrial fibrillation (AFIB), and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH).](https://arxiv.org/html/2603.02616v1/2603.02616v1/x5.png)
A new approach leverages the power of artificial intelligence to identify indicators of structural heart disease directly from routine electrocardiograms.
