Abstract: A system is described for calculating and outputting micro invisible lost time (MILT). The system may include a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that are executable by the processor to cause the processor to perform various operations. Time-stamp data that includes values of drilling parameters may be received about a drilling operation, and the values of drilling parameters may be classified into a rig state that includes rig activities. For each rig activity, an actual completion time may be determined and compared to an expected completion time for determining a deviation. At least one deviated activity, in which the deviation is greater than a threshold, may be determined. Deviations may be combined into MILT that can be output for controlling the drilling operation.

Abstract: In some examples, a system is to, given an anomaly score threshold over which at least one anomalous point is to be observed in a test set of points with a specified probability, determine, using raw anomaly scores for a training set of points, a first mapping between raw anomaly scores in a first range and first transformed anomaly scores using a first transformation technique. The system is to determine, using the raw anomaly scores for the training set of points, a second mapping between raw anomaly scores in a second range greater than the first range and second transformed anomaly scores using a second transformation technique different from the first transformation technique. The system is to use the first mapping and the second mapping to detect an anomaly in a computing environment based on the test set of points.

Abstract: Various embodiments describe user segmentation. In an example, potential rules are generated by applying a frequency-based analysis to user interaction data points. Each of the potential rules includes a set of attributes of the user interaction data points and indicates that these data points belong to a segment of interest. An objective function is used to select an optimal set of rules from the potential rules for the segment of interest. The potential rules are used as variable inputs to the objective function and this function is optimized based on interpretability and accuracy parameters. Each rule from the optimal set is associated with a group of the segment of interest. The user interaction data points are segments into the groups by matching attributes of these data points with the rules.

A report is generated by the chatbot system comprising a representation of a particular anchor of the one or more anchors, the particular anchor corresponding to a highest confidence value among the one or more anchors. The one or more synthetic utterances may be used to generate a new training dataset for training a machine-learning model. The training dataset may be refined according to a threshold confidence values to filter out datasets for training.
