SPICI and Federico II University of Naples at the Italian Mathematical Union Workshop: Artificial Intelligence at the service of seismology

From 29 to 31 January 2025, the 3rd Workshop of the UMI Group "Mathematics for Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning" took place in Bari, an event attended by researchers, academic institutions, and industry experts to discuss the role of applied mathematics in the development of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.

SPICI and the University of Naples Federico II participated in the event, bringing to the attention of the scientific community the results of innovative research in the field of computational seismology and seismic early warning.

On 30 January, Antonioreneè Barletta, an AI expert, presented the research work “Exploring Deep Learning in Seismology for Early Warning System”, carried out in collaboration with Prof. Salvatore Cuomo, Scientific Consultant of SPICI, and Ing. Gianluca Milano.

This study is part of a research line aiming to enhance seismic early warning systems through advanced deep learning techniques, thereby improving the analysis and prediction capabilities of seismic events.

The contribution of Artificial Intelligence to seismology

Seismic early warning systems represent one of the main challenges in the field of natural risk prevention. The integration of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning enables:

✔ Analysis of large volumes of geophysical data with greater accuracy ✔ Recognition of patterns and anomalies in seismic signals in real time ✔ Reduction of reaction times by providing timely and reliable forecasts ✔ Support for emergency management through advanced predictive models.

The study presented by SPICI and the University of Naples Federico II demonstrates how the use of deep neural networks can significantly contribute to the improvement of current seismic forecasting technologies, offering more sophisticated tools for the protection of communities at risk.

A commitment to innovation and applied research

Participation in this workshop confirms the joint commitment of SPICI and the University of Naples Federico II in developing cutting-edge solutions for managing natural risks. Research in AI and computational seismology represents a strategic area, with a direct impact on infrastructure safety and city resilience.
