Short summary
Avalanche detection systems are crucial for forecasting, but distinguishing avalanches from other seismic sources remains a challenge. We propose novel autoencoder models to automatically extract features and compare them with engineered seismic features. These features are then used to classify avalanches and noise events. The autoencoder feature classifiers exhibit the highest sensitivity in detecting avalanches, while the engineered seismic classifier performs better overall.
