Abstract In the process of deriving the reservoir petrophysical properties of a basin, identifying the pay capability of wells by interpreting various geological formations is key. Currently, this process is facilitated and preceded by well log correlation, which involves petrophysicists and geologists examining multiple raw log measurements for the well in question, indicating geological markers of formation changes and correlating them with those of neighboring wells. As it may seem, this activity of picking markers of a well is performed manually and the process of ‘examining’ may be highly subjective, thus, prone to inconsistencies. In our work, we propose to automate the well correlation workflow by using a Soft- Attention Convolutional Neural Network to predict well markers. The machine learning algorithm is supervised by examples of manual marker picks and their corresponding occurrence in logs such as gamma-ray, resistivity and density. Our experiments have shown that, specifically, the attention mechanism allows the Convolutional Neural Network to look at relevant features or patterns in the log measurements that suggest a change in formation, making the machine learning model highly precise.

To increase the success rate in academics, attendance is an essential aspect for every student in schools and degree colleges. In olden days, this attendance is manually taken by teachers with pen and paper method, which consumes more amount of time in their busy management scheduling era. To make this attendance taking more comfortable and more accurate, a multi model biometric system for attendance monitoring system is proposed using a Raspberry Pi single-board computer. The camera and biometric device which is connected to the system gathers Information regarding the students by recognizing their faces and their fingerprint simultaneously. If both of them match with the student details stored in the database, then the system will be sending an alert about the student presence in the class. The student details which is stored into the database is collected from the students initially. By using these details like images and fingerprints the system is trained by using a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) Machine Learning Algorithm.

Brain Tumor detection using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is used to discover and classify the types of Tumor. Over a amount of years, many researchers are researched and planned ways throughout this area. We’ve proposed a technique that’s capable of detecting and classifying different types of tumor. For detecting and classifying tumor we have used MRI because MRI images gives the complete structure of the human brain, without any operation it scans the human brain and this helps in processing of image for the detection of the Tumor. The prediction of tumor by human from the MRI images leads to misclassification. This motivates us to construct the algorithm for detection of the brain tumor. Machine learning helps and plays a vital role in detecting tumor. In this paper, we tend to use one among the machine learning algorithm i.e. Convolutional neural network (CNN), as CNNs are powerful in image processing and with the help of CNN and MRI images we designed a framework for detection of the brain tumor and classifying its Different types.

This study presents an application that employs a machine-learning algorithm to identify fish species found in Leyte Gulf. It aims to help students and marine scientists with their identification and data collection. The application supports 467 fish species in which 6,918 fish images are used for training, validating, and testing the generated model. The model is trained for a total of 4,000 epochs. Using convolutional neural network (CNN) algorithm, the best model during training is observed at epoch 3,661 with an accuracy rate of 96.49% and a loss value of 0.1359. It obtains 82.81% with a loss value of 1.868 during validation and 80.58% precision during testing. The result shows that the model performs well in predicting Malatindok and Sapsap species, after obtaining the highest precision of 100%. However, Hangit is sometimes misclassified by the model after attaining 55% accuracy rate from the testing results because of its feature similarity to other species.

Pleural effusion is a respiratory infection characterized by a buildup of fluid between the two layers of pleura, which causes specific symptoms such as chest pain and shortness of breath. In Indonesia, pleural effusion cases alone account for 2.7% of other respiratory infections, with an estimated number of sufferers in general at more than 3000 people per 1 million population annually. Pleural effusion is a severe case and can cause death if not treated immediately. Based on a study, as many as 15% of 104 patients diagnosed with pleural effusion died within 30 days. In this paper, we present a model that can detect pleural effusion based on chest x-ray images automatically using a Machine Learning algorithm. The machine learning algorithm used is Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), with the dataset used from ChestX-ray14. The number of data used was 2500 in the form of x-ray images, based on two different classes, x-ray with pleural effusion and x-ray with normal condition. The evaluation result shows that the CNN model can classify data with an accuracy of 95% of the test set data; thus, we hope it can be an alternative to assist medical diagnosis in pleural effusion detection.

AbstractMachine learning has greatly facilitated the analysis of medical data, while the internal operations usually remain intransparent. To better comprehend these opaque procedures, a convolutional neural network for optical coherence tomography image segmentation was enhanced with a Traceable Relevance Explainability (T-REX) technique. The proposed application was based on three components: ground truth generation by multiple graders, calculation of Hamming distances among graders and the machine learning algorithm, as well as a smart data visualization (‘neural recording’). An overall average variability of 1.75% between the human graders and the algorithm was found, slightly minor to 2.02% among human graders. The ambiguity in ground truth had noteworthy impact on machine learning results, which could be visualized. The convolutional neural network balanced between graders and allowed for modifiable predictions dependent on the compartment. Using the proposed T-REX setup, machine learning processes could be rendered more transparent and understandable, possibly leading to optimized applications.

AbstractQuantum machine learning is one of the most promising applications of quantum computing in the noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) era. We propose a quantum convolutional neural network(QCNN) inspired by convolutional neural networks (CNN), which greatly reduces the computing complexity compared with its classical counterparts, with O((log2M)6) basic gates and O(m2+e) variational parameters, where M is the input data size, m is the filter mask size, and e is the number of parameters in a Hamiltonian. Our model is robust to certain noise for image recognition tasks and the parameters are independent on the input sizes, making it friendly to near-term quantum devices. We demonstrate QCNN with two explicit examples. First, QCNN is applied to image processing, and numerical simulation of three types of spatial filtering, image smoothing, sharpening, and edge detection is performed. Secondly, we demonstrate QCNN in recognizing image, namely, the recognition of handwritten numbers. Compared with previous work, this machine learning model can provide implementable quantum circuits that accurately corresponds to a specific classical convolutional kernel. It provides an efficient avenue to transform CNN to QCNN directly and opens up the prospect of exploiting quantum power to process information in the era of big data.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been and remains one of the major challenges humanity has faced thus far. Over the past few months, large amounts of information have been collected that are only now beginning to be assimilated. In the present work, the existence of residual information in the massive numbers of rRT-PCRs that tested positive out of the almost half a million tests that were performed during the pandemic is investigated. This residual information is believed to be highly related to a pattern in the number of cycles that are necessary to detect positive samples as such. Thus, a database of more than 20,000 positive samples was collected, and two supervised classification algorithms (a support vector machine and a neural network) were trained to temporally locate each sample based solely and exclusively on the number of cycles determined in the rRT-PCR of each individual. Finally, the results obtained from the classification show how the appearance of each wave is coincident with the surge of each of the variants present in the region of Galicia (Spain) during the development of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and clearly identified with the classification algorithm.

Skin cancer, which is one of the most common types of cancer in the world, is a malignant growth seen on the skin due to various reasons. There was an increase in the number of the cases of skin cancer nearly 200% between 2004-2009. Since the ozone layer is depleting, harmful rays reflected from the sun cannot be filtered. In this case, the likelihood of skin cancer will increase over the years and pose more risks for human beings. Early diagnosis is very significant as in all types of cancers. In this study, a mobile application is developed in order to detect whether the skin spots photographed by using the machine learning technique for early diagnosis have a suspicion of skin cancer. Thus, an auxiliary decision support system is developed that can be used both by the clinicians and individuals. For cases that are predicted to have a risk higher than a certain rate by the machine learning algorithm, early diagnosis could be initiated for the patients by consulting a physician when the case is considered to have a higher risk by machine learning algorithm.

Machine learning is the study of algorithms and models for computing systems to do tasks based on pattern identification and inference. When it is difficult or infeasible to develop an algorithm to do a particular task, machine learning algorithms can provide an output based on previous training data. A well-known machine learning model is deep learning. The most recent deep learning models are based on artificial neural networks (ANN). There exist several types of artificial neural networks including the feedforward neural network, the Kohonen self-organizing neural network, the recurrent neural network, the convolutional neural network, the modular neural network, among others. This article focuses on convolutional neural networks with a description of the model, the training and inference processes and its applicability. It will also give an overview of the most used CNN models and what to expect from the next generation of CNN models.
