10 October 2019: Estimating earthquake risk, and difficulties for deep-learning
Description
This week, a method for predicting follow-up earthquakes, and the issues with deep learning systems in AI.
In this episode:
00:47 Which is the big quake?
A new technique could allow seismologists to better predict if a larger earthquake will follow an initial tremor.
