Improved estimation of two-phase capillary pressure with nuclear magnetic resonance measurements via machine learning by Oriyomi Raheem, Misael M. Morales, Wen Pan, Carlos Torres-Verdín

“…For each rock class, we applied regression techniques—such as random forest (RF), k-nearest neighbors (k-NN), extreme gradient boosting (XGB), and artificial neural networks (ANN)—to estimate the logarithm of capillary pressure. The methods were tested on blind core samples, and performance comparisons among different estimation methods were based on the relative standard error of predictions.Results indicate that NMR data are sensitive to the pore structure of rocks and significantly improve the prediction of capillary pressure and pore throat size distribution. …”

“…An ophthalmologist discarded a NaIA-RD error in most of contradicted referral proposals by labeling the 93% of a sample of them as referable. In an autonomous setup, NaIA-RD would have reduced the study visualization workload by 4.27 times without missing a single case of sight-threatening DR referred by a GP.ConclusionDR screening was more effective when supported by NaIA-RD, which could be safely used to autonomously perform the first level of screening. …”
