Machine learning in physical sciences

Machine learning (ML) is booming thanks to efforts promoted by Google. However, ML also has use in physical sciences. I start with a general overview of ML for supervised/unsupervised learning. Then I will focus on my applications of ML in array processing in seismology and ocean acoustics. This will include source localization using neural networks or graph processing. Final example is using ML-based tomography to obtain high-resolution subsurface geophysical structure in Long Beach, CA, from seismic noise recorded on a 5200-element array. This method exploits the dense sampling obtained by ambient noise processing on large arrays by learning a dictionary of local, or small-scale, geophysical features directly from the data.
