In the present study, five modeling approaches of RA, MLP, MNN, GFF, and CANFIS were applied so as to estimate the radial overcut values in electrochemical drilling process. For these models, four input variables, namely electrolyte concentration, voltage, initial machining gap, and tool feed rate, were selected. The developed models were evaluated in terms of their prediction capability with m...

Permeability can be directly measured using cores taken from the reservoir in the laboratory. Due to high cost associated with coring, cores are available in a limited number of wells in a field. Many empirical models, statistical methods, and intelligent techniques were suggested to predict permeability in un-cored wells from easy-to-obtain and frequent data such as wireline logs. The main obj...

Deep learning revolutionized data science, and recently, its popularity has grown exponentially, as did the amount of papers employing deep networks. Vision tasks such as human pose estimation did not escape this methodological change. The large number of deep architectures lead to a plethora of methods that are evaluated under different experimental protocols. Moreover, small changes in the ar...
