Mini-expert Platform for Pareto Multi-objective Optimization of Geophysical Problems.

In this paper, a mini-expert platform for joint inversion is presented. The Pareto inversion scheme was applied to eliminate any typical problems of this kind of inversion, such as arbitrarily chosen target function weights and laborious interactivity. Particle Swarm Optimization was used as the main optimization engine. The presented solution is written entirely in JavaScript and provides easy access to core system functions, even for non-technical users. As an example, a geophysical problem of joint inversion of surface waves was chosen, but the solution is capable of inverting any kind of data as long as two or more target functions can be provided. All obtained results were compared with software written by the authors in C in terms of both results and efficiency.
