Abstract
A method and apparatus for automated seismic interpretation (ASI), including: obtaining trained models comprising a geologic scenario from a model repository, wherein the trained models comprise executable code; obtaining test data comprising geophysical data for a subsurface region; and performing an inference on the test data with the trained models to generate a feature probability map representative of subsurface features. A method and apparatus for machine learning, including: an ASI model; a training dataset comprising seismic images and a plurality of data portions; a plurality of memory locations, each comprising a replication of the ASI model and a different data portion of the training dataset; a plurality of data augmentation modules, each identified with one of the plurality of memory locations; a training module configured to receive output from the plurality of data augmentation modules; and a model repository configured to receive updated models from the training module.
