Existing physics-based models are limited in predicting large or long-duration wildfire events. Here, we develop a deep-learning-based predictive model, Fire-Image-DenseNet (FIDN), that uses spatial features derived from both near real-time and reanalysis data on the environmental and meteorological drivers of wildfire. We trained and tested this model using more than 300 individual wildfires that occurred between 2012 and 2019 in the western US. In contrast to existing models, the performance of FIDN does not degrade with fire size or duration. Furthermore, it predicts final burnt area accurately even in very heterogeneous landscapes in terms of fuel density and flammability. The FIDN model showed higher accuracy, with a mean squared error (MSE) about 82% and 67% lower than those of the predictive models based on cellular automata (CA) and the minimum travel time (MTT) approaches, respectively. Its structural similarity index measure (SSIM) averages 97%, outperforming the CA and FlamMap MTT models by 6% and 2%, respectively. Additionally, FIDN is approximately three orders of magnitude faster than both CA and MTT models. The enhanced computational efficiency and accuracy advancements offer vital insights for strategic planning and resource allocation for firefighting operations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55221,"journal":{"name":"Computers & Geosciences","volume":"195 ","pages":"Article 105783"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142747272","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This ensemble-based methodology utilizes historical reservoir data to infer its properties such as permeability and skin zone properties. In a recent study , the ES-MDA was utilized to estimate individual skin zone properties using well pressure responses as observed data. However, owing to insufficient reservoir information and the inherent nonlinearity of the problem, their findings lacked precision. This study presents a novel approach to efficiently characterize reservoir skin zones by employing an enhanced ES-MDA implementation and augmenting the observed data vector with flow-rate data. We introduce an analytical method for determining the pressure and flow rate observed at the well during an injectivity test, specifically tailored for multilayer reservoirs with skin zones, utilizing Laplace Transform. To convert the computed data to the real field, we use Stehfest’s algorithm. The analytical model serves a dual purpose: generating artificial data to represent a real field and predicting properties when coupled to the ES-MDA. The new analytical model enables the extraction of flow rates in each layer, which are then integrated as new data into the ES-MDA, thereby bolstering the estimation accuracy of targeted parameters. Both flow rate and pressure are employed as input data and, to alleviate the impact of orders of magnitude disparities on estimates, the ES-MDA is implemented in a dimensionless form. We tested the proposed methodology in four cases to display how adding the flow-rate data could improve results from a previous work. Moreover, the dimensionless ES-MDA offered skin zone properties with lower RMSE compared to the ones obtained in the mentioned study.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55221,"journal":{"name":"Computers & Geosciences","volume":"195 ","pages":"Article 105777"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142747271","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, due to the high cost of acquiring VS log data, it is impossible to carry out this logging project in all wells. Thus, it is extremely necessary to develop an efficient and reliable VS prediction method. Deep learning methods have distinct advantages in data inversion, but different neural network have their own characteristics. A single-structured neural network has inevitable limitations in VS prediction, making it challenging to effectively capture the nonlinear mapping relationships of multiple parameters. Therefore, an integrated VS prediction model was proposed based on analyzing the applicability of classical neural networks. This new model, denoted as Bo-MA-CNN-BiLSTM, combines a Bayesian-optimized and multi-head attention mechanism (Bo-MA) with a convolutional neural network (CNN) and a bidirectional long short-term memory network (BiLSTM). It can effectively capture spatio-temporal data reflecting geophysical characteristics from log data, and the integration of the multi-head attention mechanism enhances the rational allocation of weights for log data. Bayesian optimization is utilized to determine the values of hyperparameters, overcoming the subjectivity and empiricism associated with manual selection. Actual data processing demonstrates that the new model achieves higher accuracy in predicting VS than applying CNN, LSTM, BiLSTM, and CNN-LSTM individually. The application results of well log data not involved in training indicate that, compared to other classical models, this new model exhibits optimal evaluation metrics. Especially for strongly heterogeneous formations, the predicted results demonstrate significant superiority, verifying the generalization ability and robustness of the proposed model.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55221,"journal":{"name":"Computers & Geosciences","volume":"195 ","pages":"Article 105787"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142747274","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ore recovery and the behavior of tailings and waste are examples where capturing the mineralogical composition is a key component: in the first case, to ensure reliable revenues, and in the second one, to avoid environmental risks involved in their disposal. However, multivariate spatial modeling can be difficult when variables exhibit intricate relationships, such as non-linear correlation, heteroscedastic behavior, or spatial trends. This work demonstrates that the complex multivariate behavior among variables can be reproduced by disaggregating the global non-linear behavior through the spatial domain and looking instead at the local correlations between Gaussianized variables. Local linear dependencies are first inferred from a local neighborhood and then interpolated through the domain using Riemannian geometry tools that allow us to handle correlation matrices and their spatial interpolation. By employing a non-stationary modification of the linear model of coregionalization, it is possible to independently simulate variables and then combine them as a linear mixture that locally varies according to the inferred correlation, reproducing the global multivariate behavior seen on input variables. A real case study is presented, showing the reproduction of the reference multivariate distributions, as well as direct and cross semi-variograms.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55221,"journal":{"name":"Computers & Geosciences","volume":"195 ","pages":"Article 105781"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142722650","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These advanced systems excel at identifying prime resource locations but require meticulous fine-tuning of their internal settings to achieve peak performance. Careful calibration of these configurations during the learning phase significantly enhances their ability to detect promising deposits. The main goal of this study is to introduce a hybrid model called PSO -SVM and PSO-RF, which aim to combine particle swarm optimization (PSO) with SVM (with RBF kernel) and RF models. This hybrid model automatically adjusts the optimized hyperparameters of SVM and RF, resulting in highly accurate predictions and a wide range of applicability. The PSO algorithm has been applied to fine-tune two main parameters (<em>C</em> and <em>λ</em>) for SVM-RBF and three main parameters (<em>N</em>_<em>T</em>, <em>N</em>_<em>S</em>, and <em>d</em>) for RF, creating efficient models for both. The proposed hybrid model as well as the traditional versions of SVM and RF models, were tested using a geo-spatial dataset related to Cu mineralization in Kerman belt, SE Iran. Forecasting algorithms were developed by integrating diverse datasets: multi-element concentrations from stream samples, bedrock and fault line maps, indicators of hot fluid interaction, aeromagnetic survey results, coordinates of previously identified copper-rich igneous intrusions, and verified ore body positions as reference points. The models' performance was evaluated using four validation methods: Multi-round data partitioning (K-fold), error classification tables (confusion matrix), true-positive vs. false-positive graphical analysis ((ROC) curve), and P-A plot were used to assess algorithms and models performance. Tests revealed that the PSO-SVM surpassed all competitors.

To achieve the intelligent recognition of massive records, this study used 14,983 sets of ground motion records with significant differences between horizontal and vertical components from the NGA-West2 database. A Siamese neural network preliminarily distinguished the similarity between the acceleration waveform and the three components of the Fourier amplitude spectrum (FAS) of ground motion records.

It was found that 308 sets of records from 170 stations were suspected of mislabeling vertical and horizontal components.
