Deep learning (DL) technology has emerged as a new approach for seismic data interpolation. DL-based methods can automatically learn the mapping between regularly subsampled and complete data from a large training dataset. Subsequently, the trained network can be used to directly interpolate new data. Therefore, compared with traditional methods, DL-based methods reduce the manual workload and render the interpolation process efficient and automatic by avoiding the selection of hyperparameters. However, two limitations of DL-based approaches exist. First, the generalization performance of the neural network is inadequate when processing new data with a different structure compared to the training data. Second, the interpretation of the trained networks is very difficult. To overcome these limitations, we combine the deep neural network and classic prediction-error filter methods, proposing a novel seismic data de-aliased interpolation framework termed PEFNet (Prediction-Error Filters Network). The PEFNet designs convolutional neural networks to learn the relationship between the subsampled data and the prediction-error filters. Thus, the filters estimated by the trained network are used for the recovery of missing traces. The learning of filters enables the network to better extract the local dip of seismic data and has a good generalization ability. In addition, PEFNet has the same interpretability as traditional prediction error-filter based methods. The applicability and the effectiveness of the proposed method are demonstrated here by synthetic and field data examples.

A generative adversarial autoencoder for the rational design of potential HIV-1 entry inhibitors able to block the region of the viral envelope protein gp120 critical for the virus binding to cellular receptor CD4 was developed using deep learning methods. The research were carried out to create the  architecture of the neural network, to form  virtual compound library of potential anti-HIV-1 agents for training the neural network, to make  molecular docking of all compounds from this library with gp120, to  calculate the values of binding free energy, to generate molecular fingerprints for chemical compounds from the training dataset. The training the neural network was implemented followed by estimation of the learning outcomes and work of the autoencoder.  The validation of the neural network on a wide range of compounds from the ZINC database was carried out. The use of the neural network in combination with virtual screening of chemical databases was shown to form a productive platform for identifying the basic structures promising for the design of novel antiviral drugs that inhibit the early stages of HIV infection.

We describe a new method for predicting well‐log properties from seismic data. The analysis data consist of a series of target logs from wells which tie a 3-D seismic volume. The target logs theoretically may be of any type; however, the greatest success to date has been in predicting porosity logs. From the 3-D seismic volume a series of sample‐based attributes is calculated. The objective is to derive a multiattribute transform, which is a linear or nonlinear transform between a subset of the attributes and the target log values. The selected subset is determined by a process of forward stepwise regression, which derives increasingly larger subsets of attributes. An extension of conventional crossplotting involves the use of a convolutional operator to resolve frequency differences between the target logs and the seismic data. In the linear mode, the transform consists of a series of weights derived by least‐squares minimization. In the nonlinear mode, a neural network is trained, using the selected attributes as inputs. Two types of neural networks have been evaluated: the multilayer feedforward network (MLFN) and the probabilistic neural network (PNN). Because of its mathematical simplicity, the PNN appears to be the network of choice. To estimate the reliability of the derived multiattribute transform, crossvalidation is used. In this process, each well is systematically removed from the training set, and the transform is rederived from the remaining wells. The prediction error for the hidden well is then calculated. The validation error, which is the average error for all hidden wells, is used as a measure of the likely prediction error when the transform is applied to the seismic volume. The method is applied to two real data sets. In each case, we see a continuous improvement in predictive power as we progress from single‐attribute regression to linear multiattribute prediction to neural network prediction. This improvement is evident not only on the training data but, more importantly, on the validation data. In addition, the neural network shows a significant improvement in resolution over that from linear regression.

Summary Seismic inversion is one of the most commonly used methods in the oil and gas industry for reservoir characterization from observed seismic data. Deep learning (DL) is emerging as a data-driven approach that can effectively solve the inverse problem. However, existing deep learning-based methods for seismic inversion utilize only seismic data as input, which often leads to poor stability of the inversion results. Besides, it has always been challenging to train a robust network since the real survey has limited labeled data pairs. To partially overcome these issues, we develop a neural network framework with a priori initial model constraint to perform seismic inversion. Our network uses two parts as one input for training. One is the seismic data, and the other is the subsurface background model. The labels for each input are the actual model. The proposed method is performed by log-to-log strategy. The training dataset is firstly generated based on forward modeling. The network is then pre-trained using the synthetic training dataset, which is further validated using synthetic data that has not been used in the training step. After obtaining the pre-trained network, we introduce the transfer learning strategy to fine-tune the pre-trained network using labeled data pairs from a real survey to acquire better inversion results in the real survey. The validity of the proposed framework is demonstrated using synthetic 2D data including both post-stack and pre-stack examples, as well as a real 3D post-stack seismic data set from the western Canadian sedimentary basin.

In quality evaluation (QE) of the industrial production field, infrared thermography (IRT) is one of the most crucial techniques used for evaluating composite materials due to the properties of low cost, fast inspection of large surfaces, and safety. The application of deep neural networks tends to be a prominent direction in IRT Non-Destructive Testing (NDT). During the training of the neural network, the Achilles heel is the necessity of a large database. The collection of huge amounts of training data is the high expense task. In NDT with deep learning, synthetic data contributing to training in infrared thermography remains relatively unexplored. In this paper, synthetic data from the standard Finite Element Models are combined with experimental data to build repositories with Mask Region based Convolutional Neural Networks (Mask-RCNN) to strengthen the neural network, learning the essential features of objects of interest and achieving defect segmentation automatically. These results indicate the possibility of adapting inexpensive synthetic data merging with a certain amount of the experimental database for training the neural networks in order to achieve the compelling performance from a limited collection of the annotated experimental data of a real-world practical thermography experiment.

Fault interpretation is an important part of seismic structural interpretation and reservoir characterization. In the conventional approach, faults are detected as reflection discontinuity or abruption and are manually tracked in post-stack seismic data, which is time-consuming. In order to improve efficiency, a variety of automatic fault detection methods have been proposed, among which widespread attention has been given to deep learning-based methods. However, deep learning techniques require a large amount of marked seismic samples as a training dataset. Although the amount of synthetic seismic data can be guaranteed and the labels are accurate, the difference between synthetic data and real data still exists. To overcome this drawback, we apply a transfer learning strategy to improve the performance of automatic fault detection by deep learning methods. We first pre-train a deep neural network with synthetic seismic data. Then we retrain the network with real seismic samples. We use a random sample consensus (RANSAC) method to obtain real seismic samples and generate corresponding labels automatically. Three real 3D examples are included to demonstrate that the fault detection accuracy of the pre-trained network models can be greatly improved by retraining the network with a few amount of real seismic samples.

Incorporating deep learning in the image analysis pipeline has opened the possibility of introducing precision phenotyping in the field of agriculture. However, to train the neural network, a sufficient amount of training data must be prepared, which requires a time-consuming manual data annotation process that often becomes the limiting step. Here, we show that an instance segmentation neural network (Mask R-CNN) aimed to phenotype the barley seed morphology of various cultivars, can be sufficiently trained purely by a synthetically generated dataset. Our attempt is based on the concept of domain randomization, where a large amount of image is generated by randomly orienting the seed object to a virtual canvas. After training with such a dataset, performance based on recall and the average Precision of the real-world test dataset achieved 96% and 95%, respectively. Applying our pipeline enables extraction of morphological parameters at a large scale, enabling precise characterization of the natural variation of barley from a multivariate perspective. Importantly, we show that our approach is effective not only for barley seeds but also for various crops including rice, lettuce, oat, and wheat, and thus supporting the fact that the performance benefits of this technique is generic. We propose that constructing and utilizing such synthetic data can be a powerful method to alleviate human labor costs needed to prepare the training dataset for deep learning in the agricultural domain.

Abstract. Nowadays, digitizing roadside objects, for instance traffic signs, is a necessary step for generating High Definition Maps (HD Map) which remains as an open challenge. Rapid development of deep learning technology using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) has achieved great success in computer vision field in recent years. However, performance of most deep learning algorithms highly depends on the quality of training data. Collecting the desired training dataset is a difficult task, especially for roadside objects due to their imbalanced numbers along roadside. Although, training the neural network using synthetic data have been proposed. The distribution gap between synthetic and real data still exists and could aggravate the performance. We propose to transfer the style between synthetic and real data using Multi-Task Generative Adversarial Networks (SYN-MTGAN) before training the neural network which conducts the detection of roadside objects. Experiments focusing on traffic signs show that our proposed method can reach mAP of 0.77 and is able to improve detection performance for objects whose training samples are difficult to collect.

Seismic data interpolation is a longstanding issue. Most current methods are only suitable for randomly missing cases. To deal with regularly missing cases, an antialiasing strategy should be included. However, seismic survey design using a random distribution of shots and receivers is always operationally challenging and impractical. We have used deep-learning-based approaches for seismic data antialiasing interpolation, which could extract deeper features of the training data in a nonlinear way by self-learning. It can also avoid linear events, sparsity, and low-rank assumptions of the traditional interpolation methods. Based on convolutional neural networks, eight-layers residual learning networks (ResNets) with a better back-propagation property for deep layers is designed for interpolation. Detailed training analysis is also performed. A set of simulated data is used to train the designed ResNets. The performance is assessed with several synthetic and field data. Numerical examples indicate that the trained ResNets can help to reconstruct regularly missing traces with high accuracy. The interpolated results in the time-space domain and the frequency-wavenumber ([Formula: see text]-[Formula: see text]) domain demonstrate the validity of the trained ResNets. Even though the accuracy decreases with the increase of the feature difference between the test and training data, the proposed method can still provide reasonable interpolation results. Finally, the trained ResNets is used to reconstruct dense data with halved trace intervals for synthetic and field data. The reconstructed dense data are more continuous along the spatial direction, and the spatial aliasing effects disappear in the [Formula: see text]-[Formula: see text] domain. The reconstructed dense data have the potential to improve the accuracy of subsequent seismic data processing and inversion.

Abstract:Continuous recording of intraluminal pressures for extended periods of time is currently regarded as a valuable method for detection of esophageal motor abnormalities. A subsequent automatic analysis of the resulting motility data relies on strict mathematical criteria for recognition of pressure events. Due to great variation in events, this method often fails to detect biologically relevant pressure variations. We have tried to develop a new concept for recognition of pressure events based on a neural network. Pressures were recorded for over 23 hours in 29 normal volunteers by means of a portable data recording system. A number of pressure events and non-events were selected from 9 recordings and used for training the network. The performance of the trained network was then verified on recordings from the remaining 20 volunteers. The accuracy and sensitivity of the two systems were comparable. However, the neural network recognized pressure peaks clearly generated by muscular activity that had escaped detection by the conventional program. In conclusion, we believe that neu-rocomputing has potential advantages for automatic analysis of gastrointestinal motility data.

Maintenance professionals and other technical staff regularly need to learn to identify new parts in car engines and other equipment. The present work proposes a model of a task assistant based on a deep learning neural network. A YOLOv5 network is used for recognizing some of the constituent parts of an automobile. A dataset of car engine images was created and eight car parts were marked in the images. Then, the neural network was trained to detect each part. The results show that YOLOv5s is able to successfully detect the parts in real time video streams, with high accuracy, thus being useful as an aid to train professionals learning to deal with new equipment using augmented reality. The architecture of an object recognition system using augmented reality glasses is also designed.
