	abstract = {Full-waveform inversion (FWI) is a non-linear procedure to es- timate subsurface rock parameters from surface measurements of induced seismic waves. This procedure is ill-posed in nature and hence, requires regularization to enhance some structure depending on the prior information. Recently, Total-variation (TV) regularization has gained popularity due to its ability to produce blocky structures. Contrary to this, the earth behave more like a piecewise smooth function. TV regularization fails to enforce this prior information into FWI. We propose a Mumford-Shah functional to incorporate the piecewise smooth spatial structure in the FWI procedure. The resulting opti- mization problem is solved by a splitting method. We show the improvement in results against TV regularization on two synthetic camembert examples.},

	abstract = {In seismic imaging, an inaccurate estimate of the source wavelet may result in degraded seismic images. While conventional reverse-time migration requires the knowledge of the source wavelet as prior information, we propose to include source estimation in the fast compressive imaging procedure. Using the proposed method, we can obtain seismic images that are comparable to those imaged with the true source wavelet, with computational costs that are comparable to conventional RTM images with all the data. We also extend the proposed method to image data with surface-related multiples, where these multiples help to mitigate the amplitude ambiguity in source estimation. We verify the proposed method using realistic synthetic examples.},

	abstract = {Multiples are usually treated as unwanted components in seismic data. However, if correctly used, they can provide valuable information about the subsurface. In this presentation, I will talk about how to make use of multiples in $\ell_1$ regularized least-squares imaging, and how to estimate the source wavelet on the fly using multiples. Synthetic examples show that using multiples not only helps to retrieve the true-amplitude seismic image and the source wavelet, it also increases the wavenumber contents in the seismic image. By using dimensionality reduction techniques with rerandomization, we also greatly decrease the simulation cost without compromising the image quality.},

	abstract = {The advent of modern computing has made it possible to do seismic imaging using least-squares reverse-time migration. We obtain superior images by solving an optimization problem that recovers the true-amplitude images. However, its success hinges on overcoming several issues, including overwhelming problem size, unknown source wavelet, and interfering coherent events like multiples. In this abstract, we reduce the problem size by using ideas from compressive sensing, and estimate source wavelet by generalized variable projection. We also demonstrate how to invert for subsurface information encoded in surface-related multiples by incorporating the free-surface operator as an areal source in reverse-time migration. Our synthetic examples show that multiples help to improve the resolution of the image, as well as remove the amplitude ambiguity in wavelet estimation.},

	abstract = {Randomized source encoding has recently been proposed as a way to dramatically reduce the costs of full waveform inversion. The main idea is to replace all sequential sources by a small number of simultaneous sources. This introduces random crosstalk in the model updates and special stochastic optimization strategies are required to deal with this. Two problems arise with this approach: i) source encoding can only be applied to fixed-spread acquisition setups, and ii) stochastic optimization methods tend to converge very slowly, relying on averaging to get rid of the cross-talk. Although the slow convergence is partly offset by the low iteration cost, we show that conventional optimization strategies are bound to outperform stochastic methods in the long run. In this paper we argue that we don{\textlnot}{\o}t need randomized source encoding to reap the benefits of stochastic optimization and we review an optimization strategy that combines the benefits of both conventional and stochastic optimization. The method uses a gradually increasing batch of sources. Thus, iterations are very cheap initially and this allows the method to make fast progress in the beginning. As the batch size grows, the method behaves like conventional optimization, allowing for fast convergence. Numerical examples suggest that the stochastic and hybrid method perform equally well with and without source encoding and that the hybrid method outperforms both conventional and stochastic optimization. The method does not rely on source encoding techniques and can thus be applied to non fixed-spread data.},

In exploration seismology this trend has led to the emergence of wave-equation based inversion technologies such as reverse-time migration and full-waveform inversion. While significant progress has been made in wave-equation based inversion, major challenges remain in the development of robust and computationally feasible workflows that give reliable results in geophysically challenging areas that may include ultra-low shear velocity zones or high-velocity salt. Moreover, sub-salt production carries risks that needs mitigation, which raises the bar from creating sub-salt images to inverting for sub-salt overpressure.},

	abstract = {Wave-equation based seismic inversion can be formulated as a nonlinear inverse problem where the medium properties are obtained via minimization of a least- squares misfit functional. The demand for higher resolution models in more geologically complex areas drives the need to develop techniques that explore the special structure of full-waveform inversion to reduce the computational burden and to regularize the inverse problem. We meet these goals by using ideas from compressive sensing and stochastic optimization to design a novel Gauss-Newton method, where the updates are computed from random subsets of the data via curvelet-domain sparsity promotion. Application of this idea to a realistic synthetic shows improved results compared to quasi-Newton methods, which require passes through all data. Two different subset sampling strategies are considered: randomized source encoding, and drawing sequential shots firing at random source locations from marine data with missing near and far offsets. In both cases, we obtain excellent inversion results compared to conventional methods at reduced computational costs.},

	abstract = {The Helmholtz equation arises in many applications, such as seismic and medical imaging. These application are characterized by the need to propagate many wavelengths through an inhomogeneous medium. The typical size of the problems in 3D applications precludes the use of direct factorization to solve the equation and hence iterative methods are used in practice. For higher wavenumbers, the system becomes increasingly indefinite and thus good preconditioners need to be constructed. In this note we consider an accelerated Kazcmarz method (CGMN) and present an expression for the resulting iteration matrix. This iteration matrix can be used to analyze the convergence of the CGMN method. In particular, we present a Fourier analysis for the method applied to the 1D Helmholtz equation. This analysis suggests an optimal choice of the relaxation parameter. Finally, we present some numerical experiments.},

	abstract = {Full-waveform inversion (FWI) is a data fitting procedure that relies on the collection of seismic data volumes and sophisticated computing to create high-resolution results. With the advent of FWI, the improvements in acquisition and inversion have been substantial, but these improvements come at a high cost because FWI involves extremely large multi-experiment data volumes. The main obstacle is the "curse of dimensionality" exemplified by Nyquist{\~O}s sampling criterion, which puts a disproportionate strain on current acquisition and processing systems as the size and desired resolution increases. In this paper, we address the "curse of dimensionality" by randomized dimensionality reduction of the FWI problem adapted from the field of CS. We invert for model updates by replacing the Gauss-Newton linearized subproblem for subsampled FWI with a sparsity promoting formulation, and solve this formulation using the SPGl1 algorithm. We speed up the algorithm and avoid overfitting the data by solving for the linearized updates only approximately. Our approach is successful because it reduces the size of seismic data volumes without loss of information. With this reduction, we can compute a Newton-like update with the reduced data volume at the cost of roughly one gradient update for the fully sampled wavefield.},
