Evaluating robustness of a HMM-based classification system of volcano-seismic events at colima and popocatepetl volcanoes

This work presents a continuous volcano-seismic classification system based in the Hidden Markov Models as solution to recently strong needs for automatic event detection and recognition methods in early warning and monitoring scenarios. Furthermore, our system includes a reliable method to assign confidence measures to the recognized signals in order to evaluate the robustness of the results. Data from the two most active volcanoes have been used to probe the system reliability on a complex joint corpus achieving a recognition accuracy higher than 78% in blind recognition tests.
