Seismic waveform modeling is an essential part of full waveform inversion (FWI), which provides high-resolution images of the near surface known by high velocity variations. However, physics-based approaches for solving wave equation, require extremely high computational cost, because they rely on fine grids to obtain accurate results. Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) learn solutions to a given PDE for a single instance. For any new instances of functional parameters or coefficients, PINNs require the training of a new neural network, and thus suffer from computation and generalization issues. Neural operators like Deep Neural Operator (DeepONet) learns the mappings between infinite-dimensional spaces of functions. The neural operator needs to be trained only once. Obtaining a solution for a new instance of the parameter requires only a forward pass of the network, reducing the major computational issues. To examine the applicability of DeepONet to solve elastic wave equation, we developed a Fourier-based DeepONet, which achieves seismic wave modeling with minor error. Furthermore, it has strong generalization ability to higher resolution and robustness to velocity error.
