The algorithm applied was a random forest, trained with a set of slip events, performing strongly in predicting the time to failure. It identified acoustic signals to predict failures, with one of them being previously unidentified. Although this laboratory earthquake is not as complex as a natural one, progress was made that guides future earthquake prediction work.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:101" href="#fn:101"><sup>101</sup></a> </p> Example applications in Earthquake Prediction<table><tbody><tr><th>Objective</th><th>Input dataset</th><th>Location</th><th>Machine Learning Algorithms (MLAs)</th><th>Performance</th></tr><tr><td>Discriminating earthquake waveforms<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:102" href="#fn:102"><sup>102</sup></a></td><td>Earthquake dataset</td><td>Southern California and Japan</td><td>Generative adversarial network (GAN), random forest</td><td>This approach can recognise P waves with 99.2% accuracy and avoid false triggers by noise signals with 98.4% accuracy.</td></tr><tr><td>Predicting time remaining for next earthquake<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:103" href="#fn:103"><sup>103</sup></a></td><td>Continuous acoustic time series data</td><td>-</td><td>Random Forest</td><td>The R2 value of the prediction reached 0.89, which demonstrated excellent performance.</td></tr></tbody></table> <h4>Streamflow discharge prediction</h4> <p>Real-time <a href="/facts/Streamflow/Sj7gJdPg">streamflow</a> data is integral for decision making (e.g., evacuations, or regulation of reservoir water levels during flooding).<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:104" href="#fn:104"><sup>104</sup></a> Streamflow data can be estimated by data provided by <a href="/facts/Stream_gauge/N3VhcwFJ">stream gauges</a>, which measure the water level of a river. However, water and debris from flooding may damage stream gauges, resulting in lack of essential real-time data. The ability of machine learning to infer missing data<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:105" href="#fn:105"><sup>105</sup></a> enables it to predict streamflow with both historical stream gauge data and real-time data. Streamflow Hydrology Estimate using Machine Learning (SHEM) is a model that can serve this purpose. To verify its accuracies, the prediction result was compared with the actual recorded data, and the accuracies were found to be between 0.78 and 0.99. </p> Example applications in Streamflow Discharge Prediction<table><tbody><tr><th>Objective</th><th>Input dataset</th><th>Location</th><th>Machine Learning Algorithms (MLAs)</th><th>Performance</th></tr><tr><td>Streamflow Estimate with data missing<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:106" href="#fn:106"><sup>106</sup></a></td><td>Streamgage data from NWIS-Web</td><td>Four diverse watersheds in Idaho, US and Washington, US</td><td>Random Forests</td><td>The estimates correlated well to the historical data of the discharges.

If one is interested in the yearly data, then only less than 50 samples are available.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:108" href="#fn:108"><sup>108</sup></a> Such amount of data may not be adequate. In a study of automatic classification of geological structures, the weakness of the model is the small training dataset, even though with the help of data augmentation to increase the size of the dataset.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:109" href="#fn:109"><sup>109</sup></a> Another study of predicting streamflow found that the accuracies depend on the availability of sufficient historical data, therefore sufficient training data determine the performance of machine learning.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:110" href="#fn:110"><sup>110</sup></a> Inadequate training data may lead to a problem called overfitting. Overfitting causes inaccuracies in machine learning<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:111" href="#fn:111"><sup>111</sup></a> as the model learns about the noise and undesired details. </p> <h3>Limited by data input</h3> <p>Machine learning cannot carry out some of the tasks as a human does easily. For example, in the quantification of water inflow in rock tunnel faces by images for Rock Mass Rating system (RMR),<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:112" href="#fn:112"><sup>112</sup></a> the damp and the wet state was not classified by machine learning because discriminating the two only by visual inspection is not possible. In some tasks, machine learning may not able to fully substitute manual work by a human. </p> <h3>Black-box operation</h3> <p>In many machine learning algorithms, for example, Artificial Neural Network (ANN), it is considered as '<a href="/facts/Black_box/hJeAGnIz">black box</a>' approach as clear relationships and descriptions of how the results are generated in the hidden layers are unknown.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:113" href="#fn:113"><sup>113</sup></a> 'White-box' approach such as decision tree can reveal the algorithm details to the users.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:114" href="#fn:114"><sup>114</sup></a> If one wants to investigate the relationships, such 'black-box' approaches are not suitable. However, the performances of 'black-box' algorithms are usually better.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:115" href="#fn:115"><sup>115</sup></a> </p> <h2 id="references">References</h2> <ol> <li id="fn:1"><p>Mueller, J.
