• We present a machine learning approach to classify the phases of surface wave dispersion curves. Standard frequency-time analysis (FTAN) analysis of seismograms observed on an array of receivers is converted into an image, of which each pixel is classified as fundamental mode, first overtone, or noise. We use a convolutional neural network (U-Net) architecture with a supervised learning objective and incorporate transfer learning. The training is initially performed with synthetic data to learn coarse structure, followed by fine-tuning of the network using approximately 10% of the real data based on human classification. The results show that the machine classification is nearly identical to the human picked phases. Expanding the method to process multiple images at once did not improve the performance. The developed technique will facilitate the automated processing of large dispersion curve data sets.
