machine learning

Even the most powerful computers are still no match for the human brain when it comes to pattern recognition, risk management, and other similarly complex tasks. A new approach, however, could enable parallel computation with light, simulating the way neurons respond in the human brain.

At times, it may seem that machine learning can be performed without a sound statistical background, but this does not take in to account many difficult nuances. Code written to make machine learning easier does not negate the need for an in-depth understanding of the problem.

Recently, AI researchers from Microsoft open-sourced the Decentralized & Collaborative AI on Blockchain project that enables the implementation of decentralized machine-learning models based on blockchain technologies.

This paper highlights the results of a test campaign for a tool designed to predict the short-term trends of energy-efficiency indices and optimal management of a production plant.

Merging tried-and-true physics-based models with data science is bolstering the Houston independent’s reservoir-engineering work on its deepwater and shale assets.

Hamiltonian neural networks draw inspiration from Hamiltonian mechanics, a branch of physics concerned with conservation laws and invariances. By construction, these models learn conservation laws from data, revealing major advantages over regular neural networks on a variety of physics problems.

Random Forest and Neural Network are the two widely used machine-learning algorithms. What is the difference between the two approaches? When should one use Neural Network or Random Forest?

Malaysia’s Petronas, Shell Malaysia, and Thailand’s PTTEP are now in the midst of full-scale digital adoption. The companies are beginning to see results, but none is counting on a “big bang” in development of the technology soon.

Arundo Analytics has built an integrated industrial Internet of things platform that allows data scientists to productize data-science solutions and accelerate feedback/improvement iterations between end-users and data scientists effectively.

Microsoft  announced three new services that aim to simplify the process of machine learning—an interface for a tool that automates the process of creating models; a new no-code visual interface for building, training, and deploying models; and hosted Jupyter-style notebooks for advanced users.
