In tunnel boring machine (TBM) underground projects, an accurate description of the rock-soil types distributed in the tunnel can decrease the construction risk ({\it e.g.} surface settlement and landslide) and improve the efficiency of construction. In this paper, we propose an active learning framework, called AL-iGAN, for tunnel geological reconstruction based on TBM operational data. This framework contains two main parts: one is the usage of active learning techniques for recommending new drilling locations to label the TBM operational data and then to form new training samples; and the other is an incremental generative adversarial network for geological reconstruction (iGAN-GR), whose weights can be incrementally updated to improve the reconstruction performance by using the new samples. The numerical experiment validate the effectiveness of the proposed framework as well.

New technologies in machine learning and more enable the discovery and understanding of where energy deposits are located with more accuracy than ever before. Advances in computing hardware and software allow automated systems to determine where energy deposits may exist and to then aid in environmentally safe delivery to the end consumer. Today, deep learning techniques have become a mainstream tool that innovative organizations use to disrupt traditional workflows and accelerate the time from possibility to delivery. Now is the time to understand and embrace how machine learning will impact your business and to make plans to integrate into workflows throughout your organization. Machine learning is a critical technology that all organizations must implement in order to gain actionable insights into the massive amounts of data that are being collected.
