  • Publication number: 20240145041
    Abstract: The computer system applies machine learning techniques to train a computational model using data representing researched items and their known properties. The computer system applies the trained computational model to data representing the potential candidate items to predict whether such items have such properties. The trained computational model outputs one or more predictions about whether the potential candidate items are likely to have a property from among the plurality of types of properties that the computational model is trained to predict. The computer system allows multiple machine learning experiments to be defined, and then allows predictions from those multiple machine learning experiments to be queried, including accessing aggregate statistics for those predictions. In some implementations, a machine learning experiment can specify a computational model that is an ensemble of multiple models.

  • Publication number: 20240126721
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for sorting one or more files hosted by a collaborative application. In one aspect, one or more activity signals associated with one or more files hosted by the collaborative application may be received from a substrate. An activity-based sort order may be determined using at least a combination of the one or more activity signals. The activity-based sort order may be applied to sort the one or more files hosted by the collaborative application for display in a user interface to an activity object of the collaborative application.

  • Patent number: 11009497
    Abstract: A method for analyzing a rock sample to determine a mechanical property of the rock sample includes (a) segmenting a digital image volume corresponding to an image of the rock sample. In addition, the method includes (b) partitioning the digital image volume to associate a plurality of voxels in the digital image volume with a plurality of grains of the rock sample. Further, the method includes (c) determining the voxels of the plurality of voxels that are adjacent to each other to identify a plurality of contact interfaces between the grains. Still further, the method includes (d) determining a contact area of each of the contact interfaces using adjacent voxels at the corresponding grain-grain interface. The method also includes (e) determining a number of contact interfaces that each grain of the plurality of grains has with each adjacent grain.

  • Patent number: 10997327
    Abstract: A method for analyzing a rock sample includes segmenting a digital image volume corresponding to the rock sample, to associate voxels in the digital image volume with pore space or solid material. A distance transform is applied to each pore space voxel. The distance transform assigns a distance value to the pore space voxel specifying distance from the pore space voxel to a solid material voxel. Drainage is numerically simulated by, for a pore space, selecting each distance value assigned to a pore space voxel that is greater than a predetermined threshold value to represent a radius of a sphere of a non-wetting fluid introduced into the pore space. The sphere is centered at the pore space voxel corresponding to the distance value. The digital image volume is numerically analyzed to characterize a material property of the rock sample at a non-wetting fluid saturation produced by the drainage.

  • Patent number: 9348056
    Abstract: A testing system for performing image based direct numerical simulation to characterize petrophysical properties of a rock sample under the simulated deformation condition, for example as representative of subsurface conditions. A digital image volume corresponding to x-ray tomographic images of a rock sample is segmented into its significant elastic phases, such as pore space, clay fraction, grain contacts and mineral type, and overlaid with an unstructured finite element mesh. A simulated deformation is applied to the segmented image volume, and the resulting deformed unstructured mesh is numerically analyzed, for example by way of direct numerical simulation, to determine the desired petrophysical properties.
