For more than a century, LSU has shaped petroleum engineering education, but few assets showcase its impact like the PERTT Lab. With six deep test wells and rare reservoir-depth gas-injection capabilities, the facility is helping drive breakthroughs in well control, carbon-dioxide injection, and next-generation energy technologies.
This study presents a novel hybrid approach to enhance fraud detection in scanned financial documents.
AI is transforming the field of cybersecurity, offering new possibilities and challenges for both defenders and attackers, but AI also can introduce new vulnerabilities and risks and raise new ethical, legal, and social issues for cybersecurity.
