The PADL dataset is a collection of real and synthetic seismic waveforms generated from 3 types of explosions along with local 1D seismic velocity models of the sites of the explosions. This data was used to jointly train a multiview deep learning model where waveforms and velocity models are the different "views" given to the model. A synthetic-to-real transfer learning scheme was evaluated using this PADL model and data.
