地震自动编目技术的进展与反思:在智能处理时代
Rethinking the Advances and Challenges of Contemporary Auto⁃Cataloging Workflows: In the AI Processing Era
,
基于AI算法的自动编目技术逐步成为主流的今天,预训练模型的泛化性问题也在成为共识. 通过对一些最新成果的综述和一些简单的测试,试图指出这一技术瓶颈问题,并阐述关于未来发展的想法. 一方面,AI模型评价体系亟需更新,目前主流的基于人工标注的评价方式存在一些局限性,且对于用户的具体案例而言缺乏实用性;另一方面,关于训练数据与模型表现的关系的研究尚处萌芽状态,各家解决泛化性问题的策略也各有不同,但针对这个复杂的问题都缺少系统性讨论. 本文旨在给出方向性的建议,即这些技术难题有可能通过何种方式取得进展,希望对钻研AI编目技术的研究者有所帮助.
With AI⁃based automatic cataloging techniques increasingly becoming the mainstream, the limited generalization ability of pre⁃trained models has also emerged as a widely recognized issue. Through a review of several recent studies and a set of simple tests, this paper seeks to highlight this technological bottleneck and to outline perspectives on future development. On the one hand, the evaluation framework for AI models is in urgent need of updating: the prevailing assessment approaches based on manual annotations exhibit inherent limitations and often lack practical relevance for specific user applications. On the other hand, research on the relationship between training data and model performance remains at an early stage. Although different strategies have been proposed to address generalization issues, systematic discussions of this complex problem are still lacking. This paper aims to provide directional recommendations on potential pathways to overcome these challenges, with the hope of offering useful insights to researchers engaged in AI⁃based earthquake cataloging.
