Digitalisation has increased access to large amounts of data for rock engineers. Machine learning presents an opportunity to aid data interpretation. The operators of Garson Mine use a microseismic database to calibrate a mine-scale finite difference model, used to assess seismic risk to inform mine operations. A Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM) network is proposed for stress model updating. The model is trained using microseismic data, geology, and geomechanical parameters from the FLAC3D model. Two LSTM networks are developed for Garson Mine: (1) predicting far field principal stresses in the FLAC3D model, and (2) predicting the far field six-component stress tensors in the model. Various LSTM network hyperparameters were analyzed to determine the architecture for the targets: input encoding and pre-processing, training solver, network layer architecture, and cost function. Architectures were chosen based on the corrected Akaike Information Criterion (AIC c ), coefficient of determination (R 2 ), and percent capture (%C). When predicting principal stresses, AIC c  = −59.62, R 2  = 0.996, and %C = 97%, and when predicting the six-component stress tensor AIC c  = −45.50, R 2  = 0.997, and %C = 80%. This research represents progress towards continuous, automated updating of numerical models such that rapid, more accurate forecasts of changes in stress conditions will allow earlier reaction to challenging stress environments, increasing safety of excavations.
