    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of detecting events in downhole drilling data. The method includes training, by a computer, a machine learning model based on historical MWD data received from one or more MWD tools to generate a trained machine learning model. The method includes monitoring, by the computer, a stream of substantially real-time MWD data from the one or more MWD tools. The method includes detecting, by the computer, one or more events in the stream of substantially real-time MWD data using the trained machine learning model. The method includes determining, by the computer, that the detected one or more events are associated with one or more MWD data types. The method includes generating, by the computer, a notification that the one or more events have been detected.
