Anomaly in geoacoustic emission is an important earthquake precursor. Current geoacoustic anomaly detection methods are limited by their low signal-to-noise ratio, low intensity, sample imbalance, and low accuracy. Therefore, this paper proposes a clone selection algorithm optimized one-class support vector machine method (CSA-OCSVM) for geoacoustic anomaly detection. First, the interquartile range (IQR), cubic spline interpolation, and time window are designed to amplify the geoacoustic signal intensity and energy change rules to reduce the interference of geoacoustic signal noise and intensity. Secondly, to address the imbalance of positive and negative samples in geoacoustic anomaly detection, a one-class support vector machine is introduced for anomaly detection. Meanwhile, in view of the optimization capabilities of the clone selection algorithm, it is adopted to optimize the hyperparameters of OCSVM to improve its detection accuracy. Finally, the proposed model is applied to geoacoustic data anomaly detection in nine different datasets, which are derived from our self-developed acoustic electromagnetic to AI (AETA) system, to verify its effectiveness. By designing comparative experiments with IQR, genetic algorithm OCSVM (GA-OCSVM), particle swarm optimization OCSVM (PSO-OCSVM), and evaluating the performance of the true positive rate (TPR) and false positive rate (FPR), the experimental results depict that the proposed model is superior to the existing state-of-the-art geoacoustic anomaly detection approaches.

Earthquake prediction (EQP) is an extremely difficult task, which has been overcome by adopting various technologies, with no further transformation so far. The negative selection algorithm (NSA) is an artificial intelligence method based on the biological immune system. It is widely used in anomaly detection due to its advantages of requiring little normal data to detect anomalies, including historical seismic-events-based EQP. However, NSA can suffer from the undesirable effect of data drift, resulting in outdated normal patterns learned from data. To tackle this problem, the data changes must be detected and processed, stimulating fast algorithmic adaptation strategies. This study proposes a dendritic cell algorithm (DCA)-based adaptive learning method for drift detection and negative selection algorithm (DC-NSA) that dynamically adapts to new input data. First, this study adopts the Gutenberg–Richter (GR) law and other earthquake distribution laws to preprocess input data. Then, the NSA is employed for EQP, and then, the dendritic cell algorithm (DCA) is employed to detect changes to trigger gradient descent strategies and update the self-set in NSA. Finally, the proposed approach is implemented to predict the earthquakes of MW > 5 in Sichuan and the surroundings during the next month. The experimental results demonstrate that our proposed DC-NSA is superior to the existing state-of-the-art EQP approaches.
