How to help seismic analysts to verify the French seismic bulletin?

In this paper, classifiers based on Multi-Layer Perceptrons and Support Vector Machines are used in order to classify seismic events that occurred in metropolitan France. The results are exploited in the software RAMSES to help the seismic analysts to conduct efficiently the revision of the weekly French seismic bulletin. With 96.5% of good classification, and less than 7% of the events emphasized for verification, RAMSES strikingly improves the speed of the revision. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
