Abstract: Described herein are systems and techniques for monitoring for monitoring and evaluating conditions associated with a wellbore and wellbore operations that use neural operators instead of computationally intensive iterative differential equations. Such systems and techniques allow for determinations to be made as operations associated with a wellbore are performed. Instead of having to wait for computationally intensive tasks to be performed or take risks of proceeding with a wellbore operation without real-time evaluations being performed, these wellbore operations may be continued while determinations are timely made, thus improving operation of computing systems that perform evaluations and that make decisions regarding safely and efficiently performing wellbore operations such as drilling a wellbore, cementing wellbore casings in place, or injecting fluids into formations of the Earth.

Abstract: For updating a computer vision model, a method converts a user input drawing including a user annotation of a first image in a drawing format to a training format image in a training format for a computer vision model. The method generates a training-representation drawing from the training format image. The training-representation drawing includes an image inference for the first image. The method receives user feedback for the training-representation drawing in the drawing format. The method updates the computer vision model based on the user feedback. The method generates an image inference for a second image based on the updated computer vision model and generates model-health metrics, agreement-metrics, and a sortable image index to explain image inferences with respect to guided user annotation of the second image. The method caches partial results from the image-inferences to afford quicker updating of computer vision models, affording more iterative model-development than ad-hoc model-evaluation.
