P-wave first-motion polarity determination of waveform data in western Japan using deep learning

Abstract P-wave first-motion polarity is the most useful information in determining the focal mechanisms of earthquakes, particularly for smaller earthquakes. Algorithms have been developed to automatically determine P-wave first-motion polarity, but the performance level of the conventional algorit...
