Hartley,Marc Huertas-Company,Neal Jackson,Eric Jullo,Jean-Paul Kneib,Léon V. E. Koopmans,Francois Lanusse,Chun-Liang Li,Quanbin Ma,Martin Makler,Nan Li,Matthew Lightman,C. E. Petrillo,Christoph Schäfer,Alessandro Sonnenfeld,Amit Tagore,Crescenzo Tortora,D. Tuccillo,Manuel Blanco Valentin,Santiago Velasco-Forero,Gijs Verdoes Kleijn,G. Vernardos +32 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a description and results of an open gravitational lens finding challenge where participants were asked to classify 100,000 candidate objects as to whether they were gravitational lenses or not with the goal of developing better automated methods for finding lenses in large data sets.

Journal ArticleDOI
A deep residual convolutional neural network for automatic lithological facies identification in Brazilian pre-salt oilfield wellbore image logs
Manuel Blanco Valentin,Clecio R. Bom,Juliana M. Coelho,Maury Duarte Correia,Márcio P. de Albuquerque,Marcelo P. de Albuquerque,Elisângela L. Faria +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a deep residual convolutional network is used to classify samples from a carbonate well from the Brazilian pre-salt oilfields into three classes: permeability, porosity, and lithology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Automatic detection of fractures and breakouts patterns in acoustic borehole image logs using fast-region convolutional neural networks
Luciana Olivia Dias,Clecio R. Bom,Elisangela Faria,Manuel Blanco Valentin,Maury Duarte Correia,Márcio P. de Albuquerque,Marcelo P. de Albuquerque,Juliana M. Coelho +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a fast region-based convolutional neural network (fast-RCNN) was proposed for automatic detection of fractures and breakouts in acoustic borehole image logs.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Reconfigurable Neural Network ASIC for Detector Front-End Data Compression at the HL-LHC
Giuseppe Di Guglielmo,Farah Fahim,Christian Herwig,Manuel Blanco Valentin,Javier Duarte,Cristian V. Gingu,Philip Harris,J. Hirschauer,Martin Kwok,Vladimir Loncar,Yingyi Luo,Llovizna Miranda,Jennifer Ngadiuba,D. Noonan,Seda Ogrenci-Memik,Maurizio Pierini,Sioni Summers,Nhan Tran +17 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a neural network autoencoder model can be implemented in a radiation tolerant ASIC to perform lossy data compression alleviating the data transmission problem while preserving critical information of the detector energy profile.
