“…Over a period of several decades, deep learning (DL) has been developing rapidly (LeCun et al ., 2015), which has brought increased attention from geophysicists to apply the DL strategy to problems related to seismic exploration (Yu and Ma, 2021), such as velocity model building (Yang and Ma, 2019; Li et al ., 2020; Sun et al ., 2021; bin Waheed et al ., 2021), fault detection (Wu et al ., 2019b), noise attenuation (Gao et al ., 2021; Sang et al ., 2021; Yang et al ., 2021a, 2021b), facies classification (Liu et al ., 2021), trace interpolation (Wang et al ., 2020a), lithofacies prediction (Zhao et al ., 2021), permeability and porosity prediction (Yang et al ., 2022), velocity picking (Wang et al ., 2021b) and full‐waveform inversion (Zhang and Alkhalifah, 2019; Huang and Zhu, 2020). Considerable research has been carried out previously for the development of DL‐based methods for seismic inversion; one of the simplest and most commonly adopted methods is to train a supervised network using a mass of seismic data and the corresponding impedance model and then input all the seismic data into the trained network architecture to predict the full impedance.…”
