CWA Benchmark: A Seismic Dataset from Taiwan for Seismic Research
Dataset Description
This dataset includes a larger number of seismic events, especially high-magnitude. A comprehensive set of events collected by the Central Weather Bureau in Taiwan. The CWA benchmark features over 40 attributes and ∼500,000 seismograms, providing valuable data labels for various seismology-related tasks. In the future, we will keep updating the dataset to ensure its relevance and utility.
The entire dataset are released in Seisbench, the dataset can be loaded properly by the following:
- Install Seisbench & HuggingfaceHub
$ git clone https://github.com/seisbench/seisbench.git
$ cd seisbench
$ pip install .
$ pip install --upgrade huggingface_hub
- Load the CWA dataset
import seisbench.data as sbd
basepath = <path to metadata.csv and chunks.hdf5>
cwa = sbd.CWA(download_kwargs={'basepath': basepath})
print(cwa.metadata.head())
- Some parameters customizing the CWA dataset
- (Bool)
merge: Whether to load the merged version (CWASN + TSMIP + Noise), default=True. - (String)
subset: Specify the seismographic network (CWASN, TSMIP, All), default="All". - (List)
train_year: The range of years used for the training set, default=[2011, 2018]. - (List)
dev_year: The range of years used for the development set default=[2019]. - (List)
test_year: The range of years used for the testing set, default=[2020, 2021].
- (Bool)
