DualTCN: A Physics-Constrained Temporal Convolutional Network for 2 Time-Domain Marine CSEM Inversion

arXiv CS.LG

ArXi:2605.04997v1 Announce Type: new DualTCN is the first deep-learning framework for inverting time-domain marine controlled-source electromagnetic (MCSEM) transient data. Moving away from traditional subsurface discretization, the framework regresses four earth-model parameters -- $\sigma_1$, $\sigma_2$, $d_1$, $d_2$ -- and reconstructs conductivity-depth profiles using a differentiable soft-step decoder. The optimized architecture (379K parameters) features a Temporal Convolutional Network (TCN) encoder paired with a late-time branch and an auxiliary seafloor-depth head.
