Abstract: Machine learning (ML), especially deep learning (DL), has developed rapidly in recent years, which has made exciting progress in many applications such as data mining, computer vision, natural language processing, data feature extraction and prediction. Earthquake prediction is a complex, wide-ranging, immature, and controversial scientific issue. Its development is limited by unclear earthquake mechanisms and seismogenic structures, incomplete observation data, and unclear earthquake phenomena. However, machine learning may improve the mining and discovery of complex seismic data and promote the development of earthquake prediction science. This article reviews the application of machine learning in earthquake prediction, including the prediction of big earthquakes, big aftershocks and rock experimental fractures, finally looks forward to the research trends of machine learning in earthquake prediction.

Key words: Earthquake prediction, Earthquake precursor, Machine learning, Deep learning
