A multilayer perceptron (MLP) neural network identifies bypassed pays in existing wells. These accumulations are smaller than in typical discovered reservoirs, but can be developed faster, at lower ...

The simplified approach makes it easier to see how neural networks produce the outputs they do. A tweak to the way artificial neurons work in neural networks could make AIs easier to decipher.

“Neural networks are currently the most powerful tools in artificial intelligence,” said Sebastian Wetzel, a researcher at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics. “When we scale them up to ...
