LONDON: When the Greek island of Santorini was rattled by a series of quakes this year, sending tourists and residents fleeing, seismologist Margarita Segou got to work with an algorithm called QuakeFlow to try to figure out what was happening.
The cloud-based system developed by Stanford University uses machine learning to detect and analyse earthquakes more accurately and efficiently than traditional methods, said Segou, who works for the British Geological Survey.
