    Abstract

    Estimating earthquake parameters is an essential process for an earthquake analysis system. In particular, the magnitude and epicentral distance of an earthquake are the most basic parameters in earthquake analysis. To estimate these, the existing approaches require long waveform data from multiple stations. In this letter, we propose a novel estimation method based on multitasking deep learning and a convolutional recurrent neural network (CRNN) using only a single station. We also use the stream maximum of the input waveform to accurately estimate the earthquake magnitude. Based on the evaluation using the Stanford Earthquake dataset (STEAD) and the Kiban Kyoshin Network (KiK-net) dataset, we verify the high performance of the proposed method.
