How DeepMap AI actually works.
No black boxes. This page walks through the full pipeline — from raw geophysical data ingestion, through the 9,700-dimensional Earth State Tensor, to the classifiers that fire live alerts and the ledger that pins every prediction to a tamper-evident hash chain.
The pipeline, end to end
Five stages, each built from public data + peer-reviewed physics.
What the accuracy numbers mean
AUC translated for humans.
You'll see 92% cross-validated accuracy on the tensor earthquake classifier and 99.9% accuracy on the solar flare classifier. That's Area Under the ROC Curve — a standard machine-learning metric.
In plain English: if we pick a random time when a significant event happened and a random time when it didn't, the model correctly ranks the event-time higher 91.7% of the time for earthquakes and 99.9% for solar flares.
The validation method is LOOCV — Leave-One-Out Cross-Validation. The model is retrained from scratch N times, each time holding one sample out as an unseen test case. This prevents a training-data overlap bias. It's how the ML-research community tests small-but-important datasets.
Important caveat we don't hide: AUC is an ordering metric, not a pointwise hit rate. High AUC means the model is excellent at ranking — not that every alert will fire correctly. We pair AUC with operating-point tables (precision at threshold, recall at threshold) to pick the right precision/recall trade-off for each product. High-confidence alerts get tight thresholds (fewer, more certain); broad-coverage products get looser ones (more, less certain).

| 0.70 | "It's doing something" |
| 0.80 | Operationally useful |
| 0.90 | Strong — publishable |
| 0.917 | Tensor EQ (ours) |
| 0.95 | Excellent |
| 0.999 | Tensor Solar (ours) |
The flywheel
Why accuracy compounds every week.
Most ML systems ship once and decay. DeepMap AI is built as a flywheel — every confirmed outcome becomes a new labeled training sample, and the whole stack retrains on it.
Verification
Every claim on this site, reproducible.
Three ways to independently verify any number we publish:
sha256_hash. The chain itself is queryable at /api/v1/ledger/verify. Any row rewrite would break every subsequent hash. Try it →
Scientific advisory panel
The people who keep us honest.
Independent domain experts who review our methods, challenge our claims, and hold the platform to discipline-standard rigor. Active recruitment of three founding advisors: seismology, isotope hydrology, and reinsurance quantitative risk.
Advisory compensation: modest equity grant (DeepMap AI Inc., Wyoming). Typical vest: 18-24 months with a 6-month cliff. No publication restrictions; we encourage advisors to publish their own reviews.
