Abstract
Seismic motion simulations enable high-precision predictions but are computationally demanding. This study introduces a deep learning surrogate model using the MLP-Mixer architecture to address this challenge. Traditional models using independent Multi-layer Perceptrons (MLPs) fail to capture spatial correlations, while U-shaped Neural Operators (U-NOs) require high computational costs for high-resolution inputs and outputs. Our proposed model, the Multiple MLP-Mixer (Multi-MLP-Mixer), integrates global and local spatial information through multiple MLP-Mixer blocks and dual patch-wise affine transformations. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our method with simulation data from anticipated megathrust earthquakes in the Nankai Trough, achieving performance comparable to state-of-the-art models with significantly improved computational efficiency.
