Short summary
The chaotic-oscillation inertia weight back propagation (COPSO-BP) algorithm is proposed for transient electromagnetic inversion. The BP's initial weight and threshold parameters were trained by COPSO, overcoming the BP falling into a local optimum. Inversion of the layered geoelectric model showed that the COPSO-BP method is accurate and stable and needs less training time. It can be used in 1-D direct current sounding, 1-D magnetotelluric sounding, seismic-wave impedance and source detection.
