Combining Deep Learning with Physics Based Features in Explosion-Earthquake Discrimination
Kong, Qingkai, Wang, Ruijia, Walter, William R., Pyle, Moira, Koper, Keith, Schmandt, Brandon
This paper combines the power of deep-learning with the generalizability of physics-based features, to present an advanced method for seismic discrimination between earthquakes and explosions. The proposed method contains two branches: a deep learning branch operating directly on seismic waveforms or spectrograms, and a second branch operating on physics-based parametric features. These features are high-frequency P/S amplitude ratios and the difference between local magnitude (ML) and coda duration magnitude (MC). The combination achieves better generalization performance when applied to new regions than models that are developed solely with deep learning. We also examined which parts of the waveform data dominate deep learning decisions (i.e., via Grad-CAM). Such visualization provides a window into the black-box nature of the machine-learning models and offers new insight into how the deep learning derived models use data to make the decisions.
Artificial Intelligence Could Help Save Trillions in Clean Energy Transitions
Using artificial intelligence in conjunction with other clean energy sources such as wind farms can save investors $1.3 trillion in energy transitions over the next 30 years, according to a report from U . Artificial intelligence (AI) can help achieve greater energy efficiency, accelerate a clean energy transition and reduce costs, especially by helping with renewable power generation, demand forecasting and management, and grid operation and optimization, according to the report. An additional AI investment of $188 million will help extend the life of grids. The U report also highlights the growth in a variety of energy uses over the next 30 years. For example, renewable energy will increase from 1.5 terawatts to 12 terawatts and battery storage will go from 11 gigawatts to 1.3 terawatts.
Pasqal and ARAMCO Collaborate to Develop Quantum Computing Applications for the Energy Industry
RIYADH, March 9, 2022 – Pasqal, a developer of neutral atom-based quantum technology, and ARAMCO announced the signing of an MoU to collaborate on quantum computing capabilities and applications in the energy sector. Objectives include accelerating the design and development of quantum based machine learning models as well as identifying and advancing other use cases for the technology across the Saudi Aramco value chain. To that end, both companies plan to explore ways for collaborating and cultivating the quantum information sciences ecosystem in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Quantum computing can be used to address a wide range of upstream, midstream and downstream challenges in the oil and gas industry including network optimization and management, reaction network generation and refinery linear programming. The collaboration will explore potential applications for quantum computing and artificial intelligence in these areas as well.
Artificial intelligence helps grow algae for producing clean biofuel
Algae has such immense potential as a biofuel source that scientists have long been studying it for sustainable energy. They even created 3D printed artificial leaves out of algae to produce oxygen for our investigations of Mars. Now, scientists from Texas A&M AgriLife Research are using artificial intelligence to break a new world record for producing algae as a reliable biofuel source, so that a greener and more economical fuel source for jet aircraft and other kinds of transportation could be achieved. The research project is conducted by Joshua Yuan, PhD., and funded by the U.S. Department of Energy Fossil Energy Office. One of the major problems with algaes' prominence was their growth limitations due to mutual shading and the high cost of harvest.
#AAAI2022 invited talk – Cynthia Rudin on interpretable machine learning
In October 2021, Cynthia Rudin was announced as the winner of the AAAI Squirrel AI award. This award recognizes positive impacts of artificial intelligence to protect, enhance, and improve human life in meaningful ways. Cynthia was formally presented with the prize during an award ceremony at the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence, following which she delivered an invited talk. Cynthia began her talk, and set the scene for her research in interpretable AI, with the story of a project she carried out in New York City, where the goal was to maintain the power grid using machine learning. Some parts of the grid infrastructure in the city are as old as 140 years, and this inevitably leads to failures in parts of the system.
UK energy tech startups are struggling to scale – here's why
The UK tech industry is booming, with startups raising more than £29bn in 2021. But some sectors are booming more than others. Recent data shows that UK energy tech startups are struggling to scale compared to other areas, such as fintech and AI. There are 950 energy tech companies in the UK and yet 47.6% of them are "stuck" at the seed investment stage, according to a report by entrepreneur network Tech Nation. Crucially, the'Emerging Energy Tech Report' found that for every UK energy tech startup at a seed or early growth stage, just 0.2 make it to a late-stage company.
1 Artificial Intelligence Growth Stock to Buy Now and Hold for the Long Term
Artificial intelligence (AI) promises to be one of the most transformative technologies of our time. It has already proven it can reliably complete complex tasks almost instantaneously, eliminating the need for days or even weeks of human input in many cases. The challenge for companies developing this advanced technology is building a business model that can deliver it efficiently since AI is a brand-new industry with little existing precedent. That's what makes C3.ai ( AI 1.65%) a trailblazer, as it's the first platform AI provider helping companies in almost any industry access the technology's benefits. C3.ai just reported its fiscal 2022 third-quarter earnings result, and it revealed continued growth across key metrics, further cementing the case for owning its stock for the long run.
