Subsurface Analytics: Contribution Of Artificial Intelligence And Machine Learning To Reservoir Engineering, Reservoir Modeling, And Reservoir Management, Shahab D. Mohaghegh
Subsurface Analytics: Contribution Of Artificial Intelligence And Machine Learning To Reservoir Engineering, Reservoir Modeling, And Reservoir Management, Shahab D. Mohaghegh
Faculty & Staff Scholarship
Subsurface Analytics is a new technology that changes the way reservoir simulation and modeling is performed. Instead of starting with the construction of mathematical equations to model the physics of the fluid flow through porous media and then modification of the geological models in order to achieve history match, Subsurface Analytics that is a completely AI-based reservoir simulation and modeling technology takes a completely different approach. In AI-based reservoir modeling, field measurements form the foundation of the reservoir model. Using data-driven, pattern recognition technologies; the physics of the fluid flow through porous media is modeled through discovering the best, most …
Searches For Fast Radio Bursts Using Machine Learning, Devansh Agarwal
Searches For Fast Radio Bursts Using Machine Learning, Devansh Agarwal
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
Fast Radio bursts (FRBs) are enigmatic astrophysical events with millisecond durations and flux densities in the range 0.1-100 Jy, with the prototype source discovered by Lorimer et al. (2007). Like pulsars, FRBs show the characteristic inverse square sweep in observing frequency due to propagation through an ionized medium. This effect is quantified by the dispersion measure (DM). Unlike pulsars, FRBs have anomalously high DMs, which are consistent with an extragalactic origin. Over 100 FRBs have been published at the time of writing, and 13 have been conclusively identified with host galaxies with spectroscopically determined redshifts in the range 0.003 ≤ …
Estimating Refactoring Efforts For Architecture Technical Debt, Samir Deeb
Estimating Refactoring Efforts For Architecture Technical Debt, Samir Deeb
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
Paying-off the Architectural Technical Debt by refactoring the flawed code is important to control the debt and to keep it as low as possible. Project Managers tend to delay paying off this debt because they face difficulties in comparing the cost of the refactoring against the benefits they gain. For these managers to decide whether to refactor or to postpone, they need to estimate the cost and the efforts required to conduct these refactoring activities as well as to decide which flaws have higher priority to be refactored among others.
Our research is based on a dataset used by other …
A Machine Learning Approach To Estimate The Annihilation Photon Interactions Inside The Scintillator Of A Pet Scanner, Sai Akhil Bharthavarapu
A Machine Learning Approach To Estimate The Annihilation Photon Interactions Inside The Scintillator Of A Pet Scanner, Sai Akhil Bharthavarapu
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
Biochemical processes are chemical processes that occur in living organisms. They can be studied with nuclear medicine through the help of radioactive tracers. Based on the radioisotope used, the photons that are emitted from the body tissue are either detected by single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) or by positron emission tomography (PET) scanners. SPECT uses gamma rays as tracer but gives a weaker contrast and spatial resolution compared to a PET scanner which uses positrons as tracer. PET scans show the metabolic changes occurring at the cellular level in an organ or a tissue. This detection is important because diseases …
Process Based Analysis Of Fluvial Stratigraphic Record: Middle Pennsylvanian Allegheny Formation, North-Central Wv, Oluwasegun O. Abatan
Process Based Analysis Of Fluvial Stratigraphic Record: Middle Pennsylvanian Allegheny Formation, North-Central Wv, Oluwasegun O. Abatan
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
Fluvial deposits represent some of the best hydrocarbon reservoirs, but the quality of fluvial reservoirs varies depending on the reservoir architecture, which is controlled by allogenic and autogenic processes. Allogenic controls, including paleoclimate, tectonics, and glacio-eustasy, have long been debated as dominant controls in the deposition of fluvial strata. However, recent research has questioned the validity of this cyclicity and may indicate major influence from autogenic controls. To further investigate allogenic controls on stratal order, I analyzed the facies architecture, geomorphology, paleohydrology, and the stratigraphic framework of the Middle Pennsylvanian Allegheny Formation (MPAF), a fluvial depositional system in the Appalachian …
Three Essays On Health Economics And Policy Evaluation, Shishir Shakya
Three Essays On Health Economics And Policy Evaluation, Shishir Shakya
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
This dissertation consists of three essays on the U.S. Health care policy. Each paragraph below refers to the three abstracts for the three chapters in this dissertation, respectively. I provide quantitative evidence on how much Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs (PDMPs) affects the retail opioid prescribing behaviors. Using the American Community Survey (ACS), I retrieve county-level high dimensional panel data set from 2010 to 2017. I employ three separate identification strategies: difference-in-difference, double selection post-LASSO, and spatial difference-in-difference. I compare how the retail opioid prescribing behaviors of counties, that are mandatory for prescribers to check the PDMP before prescribing controlled substances …
Representation Learning With Adversarial Latent Autoencoders, Stanislav Pidhorskyi M.S.
Representation Learning With Adversarial Latent Autoencoders, Stanislav Pidhorskyi M.S.
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
A large number of deep learning methods applied to computer vision problems require encoder-decoder maps. These methods include, but are not limited to, self-representation learning, generalization, few-shot learning, and novelty detection. Encoder-decoder maps are also useful for photo manipulation, photo editing, superresolution, etc. Encoder-decoder maps are typically learned using autoencoder networks.
Traditionally, autoencoder reciprocity is achieved in the image-space using pixel-wise
similarity loss, which has a widely known flaw of producing non-realistic reconstructions. This flaw is typical for the Variational Autoencoder (VAE) family and is not only limited to pixel-wise similarity losses, but is common to all methods relying upon …
