  • Publication number: 20230025848
    Abstract: A computer implemented method of predictive weather occurrences includes generating, by a computer processor, a training model through artificial intelligence. The training model is based on climate data processed by a variational autoencoder. A geographic location is selected for climate study. Historical weather measurements associated with the selected geographic location are retrieved from a knowledge climate database. The retrieved historical weather measurements are processed using the training model. The training model receives threshold parameters defining extremeness of weather. Extremeness is based on a weather intensity data point being farther from a norm than closer to the norm. Synthetic weather data is generated for the selected location, wherein the synthetic weather data predicts weather events satisfying the extremeness threshold parameters.

  • Patent number: 9659248
    Abstract: Determining semantically equivalent text or questions using hybrid representations based on neural network learning. Weighted bag-of-words and convolutional neural networks (CNN) based distributed vector representations of questions or text may be generated to compute the semantic similarity between questions or text. Weighted bag-of-words and CNN based distributed vector representations may be jointly used to compute the semantic similarity. A pair-wise ranking loss function trains neural network. In one embodiment, the parameters of the system are trained by minimizing a pair-wise ranking loss function over a training set using stochastic gradient descent (SGD).

  • Patent number: 9417256
    Abstract: A population comparison system, method and a computer program product therefor. A stored list of population members, e.g., hydrocarbon reservoirs, characteristics and analogous members is partitioned into lists for each member. A weighting system automatically uses the partitions to determine a weight set (w*) for population member characteristic and a similarity function. The weighting system may include an objective model that iteratively, blindly identifies analogous members for each population member until the identified analogous members match the listed analogous members. An analogous member selector uses the weights set (w*) and similarity function to automatically select analogous listed members for each new population member.
