Learning
Term by definition
Machine learning has been central to AI research from the beginning. Unsupervised learning is the ability to find patterns in a stream of input. Supervised learning includes both classification and numerical regression.
Seismic Inversion
Seismic inversion is the process of transforming seismic reflection data into a quantitative rock property description of a reservoir. Seismic inversion may be pre-or post-stack, deterministic, stochastic or geostatistical, and typically includes other reservoir measurements such as well logs and cores. In this project we study the actual used techniques and propose improvements to auxiliary the decision make about regions with more probability to oil exploration.
SICRES
Intelligent System for Reservoir Characterization
Several scientific publications have been devoted to modeling reservoirs using seismic data and using techniques of pattern recognition. Although there are several techniques for reservoir modeling, the need for geological and reservoir data needed,...
Ant Colony Optimization in Continuous Domains
Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is a meta heuristic based on the foraging behavior of ants. It was initially proposed to solve discrete combinatorial optimization problems. In this project we study some ACO techniques developed to continuous domains problems, comparing the features of classical discre...
Officialy founded at may 5th of 2000, this lab combines researchers of Computer Sciences at various fields such as: Artificial Neural Networks, Evolutionary Computation, Game Theory and Logic. Aimed at studying the cognition emergence by Nature inspired paradigms, starting by connectionism making a bridge between symbolic, connectionist and evolutive approaches of Artificial Intelligence. More than a workplace, the lab intends to be a group of researchers linked by common interests without physical frontiers.
