We construct a new machine learning variant of point processes for short-term earthquake forecasting enhanced catalogs.• The neural point process gains higher forecasting performance from the low magnitude data than ETAS and is faster to train.• This forecasting performance on the 2016 Central Italy sequence motivates continued development in this class of models.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
