🌍 Introduction

Earthquake prediction is a critical area of research aiming to mitigate the impact of seismic activities on society and infrastructure. This project utilizes machine learning techniques, particularly LSTM neural networks, to forecast the magnitude of earthquakes based on historical seismic data.

💻 Installation

To install and run this project locally, follow these steps:

  1. Clone this repository to your local machine.
  2. Install the required dependencies listed in the requirements.txt file using pip: 
    pip install -r requirements.txt
  3. Run the main script earthquake_prediction.py to train the LSTM model and make predictions.

🚀 Usage

After installing the necessary dependencies and running the main script, you can use the trained LSTM model to make earthquake magnitude predictions. Additionally, you can customize the model architecture and hyperparameters to improve prediction accuracy.

📊 Dataset

The dataset utilized in this project comprises historical earthquake records, encompassing attributes such as timestamp, geographic coordinates, depth, and magnitude. Prior to employment, the data undergoes preprocessing and partitioning into training and testing subsets for model training and assessment.

Kandilli Observatory Live Earthquake Data

Live earthquake data from the Kandilli Observatory and Earthquake Research Institute can be accessed through the following API endpoint:

curl -X 'GET' \
  'https://api.orhanaydogdu.com.tr/deprem/kandilli/live' \
  -H 'accept: application/json'

Sample Response:

2024-03-19 19:40:16 Europe/Istanbul 5 2.4
  • This API endpoint provides access to live earthquake data for real-time monitoring and analysis purposes.

🧠 Model Architecture

The LSTM neural network architecture used in this project consists of multiple LSTM layers followed by dense layers for regression. The model takes sequential earthquake data as input and learns to predict the magnitude of future earthquakes.

📉 Results

The performance of the LSTM model is evaluated using the following metrics:

  • Mean Squared Error (MSE)
  • Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE)
  • Mean Absolute Error (MAE)

Additionally, the correlation coefficient between predicted and actual earthquake magnitudes is calculated to assess the model's performance.

Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) 1.3957
Mean Absolute Error (MAE) 1.3818

🔮 Future Work

There are several opportunities for future improvement and expansion of this project:

  • Incorporating additional features such as seismic waveforms and geological data.
  • Experimenting with different neural network architectures and hyperparameters.
  • Developing a web-based application for real-time earthquake prediction and monitoring.
