Different direct and indirect methods are used to measure this parameter most of which (e.g. core analysis) are very time -consuming and cost consuming. Hence, applying an efficient method that can model this important parameter has the highest importance. Most of the researches show that the capability (i.e. classification, optimization and data mining) of an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is suitable for imperfections found in petroleum engineering problems considering its successful application. In this study, we have used a Wavenet Neural Network (WNN) model, which was constructed by combining neural network and wavelet theory to improve estimation of permeability. To achieve this goal, we have also developed MLP and RBF networks and then compared the results of the latter two networks with the results of WNN model to select the best estimator between them. Keywords: Permeability; Wavelet; Neural Network; MLP; RBF; Model. 1. Introduction Permeability prediction is one of the main challenges in reservoir engineering. On the other hand, suggesting engineering methods to solve reservoir modeling and managements is impo- ssible without the knowledge of the actual permeability values. The reservoir rock permeability cannot be measured directly with exception of using core plugs as direct measurement. However, direct measuring methods are expensive and time-consuming. In recent years, intelligent techniques such as Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) have been increasingly applied to esti- mate reservoir properties using well log data. Moreover, previous investigations have indicated that neural networks can estimate formation permeability even in highly heterogeneous reser- voirs using geophysical well log data with good accuracy [1]. Intelligent methods generally utilize raw well log data to estimate permeability, and core plug measurements are used to validate the estimations. Thus, intelligent technique can be utilized as a powerful tool for reservoir properties estimation from well logs in oil and natural gas development projects .Neural network has accurate results but complex structures need more improvement in network [2]. Wavenet is a feed forward and new class of network that combines the classic sigmoid neural networks (NNs) and the wavelet analysis (WA). To detect relation between variables in the main signal, WNN finds family of wavelets in estimation space. WNN has two properties: transfer Pet Coal (2017); 59(6): 785-796 ISSN 1337-7027 an open access journal 785 Petroleum and Coal wavelet and a global estimator. At the same time, wavelets functions in addition to perpen- dicular properties have good local properties. These properties cause a quick homogeneity than normal neural network. These networks can estimate a function with every accuracy by using multi resolution technique [3]. The main objectives of the present study are: - To develop a MLP-NN model to estimate of permeability from well log data; - To develop a RBF-NN model to estimate of permeability from well log data; - To develop a Wavenet-NN model to estimate of permeability from well log data; - To validate models with core data and compare the abovementioned approaches; In this study, a case study of Asmari reservoir located at Ahwaz oil field of Iran is presented. To estimate the permeability of the reservoir, the MLP, RBF and Wavenet methods are used. We designed a Wavenet model to improve estimation of permeability of reservoir. We compare the results of Wavenet, RBF and MLP models to identify the best model to estimate permea- bility to achieve this goal. A summary of literature review is shown in Table 1. Table 1.

Artificial neural networks One of the types of intelligence methods is artificial neural networks (ANNs). This method is inspired by biological neural networks. ANNs are created with neurons that are arranged to create input, hidden and output layers. Neurons are the large number of simple calculating parameters. They further include interconnections between the nodes of successive layers through the so-called weights. Weight modifies the signal carried from one node to the other and improves the influence of the specific connection. Each neuron in a layer receives weighted inputs from a previous layer and transmits its output to the neuron in the next layer then plus it with bias. The internal weights of the network are adjusted in the course of an iterative process termed training and the algorithm used for this purpose so-called training algorithm. A back- propagation neural network is a supervised training technique that sends the input values forward through the network then computes the difference between calculated output and corresponding desired output from the training dataset. The error back-propagation (BP) algorithm is the most common form of learning, utilized today in artificial neural networks. There exist many network architectures but Multilayer Perception is one of the most popular among them. The number of nodes in the feed forward neural network input layer is equal to the number of inputs in the process, whereas the number of output nodes is equal to the number process output. Basically, the back-propagation training procedure is intended to obtain an optimal set of the network weight, which minimizes an error function. The commonly employed error function is the mean squared error (MSE) as defined by [4]: MSE= ½ ∑ (yiobs – yiout) for i=1,…, n. (1) obs out where yi and yi are respectively the observed and estimated values. 2.1. Multi-layer perceptron (MLP) MLP with back propagation (BP) algorithm is the most popular artificial neural network, as mentioned earlier. MLP is a network with an input layer, an output layer and one or more hidden layers that consist of neurons. For assignment number of hidden layers and neurons, we can use trial and error procedure. Thus, we select the number of neurons with highest regression (R)

  • 4 Nonlinear Regression and Multilayer Perceptron
    4 Nonlinear Regression and Multilayer Perceptron In nonlinear regression the output variable y is no longer a linear function of the regression parameters plus additive noise. This means that estimation of the parameters is harder. It does not reduce to minimizing a convex energy functions { unlike the methods we described earlier. The perceptron is an analogy to the neural networks in the brain (over-simplified). It Pd receives a set of inputs y = j=1 !jxj + !0, see Figure (3). Figure 3: Idealized neuron implementing a perceptron. It has a threshold function which can be hard or soft. The hard one is ζ(a) = 1; if a > 0, ζ(a) = 0; otherwise. The soft one is y = σ(~!T ~x) = 1=(1 + e~!T ~x), where σ(·) is the sigmoid function. There are a variety of different algorithms to train a perceptron from labeled examples. Example: The quadratic error: t t 1 t t 2 E(~!j~x ; y ) = 2 (y − ~! · ~x ) ; for which the update rule is ∆!t = −∆ @E = +∆(yt~! · ~xt)~xt. Introducing the sigmoid j @!j function rt = sigmoid(~!T ~xt), we have t t P t t t t E(~!j~x ; y ) = − i ri log yi + (1 − ri) log(1 − yi ) , and the update rule is t t t t ∆!j = −η(r − y )xj, where η is the learning factor. I.e, the update rule is the learning factor × (desired output { actual output)× input. 10 4.1 Multilayer Perceptrons Multilayer perceptrons were developed to address the limitations of perceptrons (introduced in subsection 2.1) { i.e.

  • Performance Analysis of Multilayer Perceptron in Profiling Side
    Performance Analysis of Multilayer Perceptron in Profiling Side-channel Analysis L´eoWeissbart1;2 1 Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands 2 Digital Security Group, Radboud University, The Netherlands Abstract. In profiling side-channel analysis, machine learning-based analysis nowadays offers the most powerful performance. This holds espe- cially for techniques stemming from the neural network family: multilayer perceptron and convolutional neural networks. Convolutional neural net- works are often favored as results suggest better performance, especially in scenarios where targets are protected with countermeasures. Mul- tilayer perceptron receives significantly less attention, and researchers seem less interested in this method, narrowing the results in the literature to comparisons with convolutional neural networks. On the other hand, a multilayer perceptron has a much simpler structure, enabling easier hyperparameter tuning and, hopefully, contributing to the explainability of this neural network inner working. We investigate the behavior of a multilayer perceptron in the context of the side-channel analysis of AES. By exploring the sensitivity of mul- tilayer perceptron hyperparameters over the attack's performance, we aim to provide a better understanding of successful hyperparameters tuning and, ultimately, this algorithm's performance. Our results show that MLP (with a proper hyperparameter tuning) can easily break im- plementations with a random delay or masking countermeasures. This work aims to reiterate the power of simpler neural network techniques in the profiled SCA. 1 Introduction Side-channel analysis (SCA) exploits weaknesses in cryptographic algorithms' physical implementations rather than the mathematical properties of the algo- rithms [16]. There, SCA correlates secret information with unintentional leakages like timing [13], power dissipation [14], and electromagnetic (EM) radiation [25].

Today, we are seeing an ever-increasing number of clinical notes that contain clinical results, images, and textual descriptions of pa-tient’s health state. All these data can be analyzed and employed to cater novel services that can help people and domain experts with their com-mon healthcare tasks. However, many technologies such as Deep Learn-ing and tools like Word Embeddings have started to be investigated only recently, and many challenges remain open when it comes to healthcare domain applications. To address these challenges, we propose the use of Deep Learning and Word Embeddings for identifying sixteen morbidity types within textual descriptions of clinical records. For this purpose, we have used a Deep Learning model based on Bidirectional Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM) layers which can exploit state-of-the-art vector representations of data such as Word Embeddings. We have employed pre-trained Word Embeddings namely GloVe and Word2Vec, and our own Word Embeddings trained on the target domain. Furthermore, we have compared the performances of the deep learning approaches against the traditional tf-idf using Support Vector Machine and Multilayer per-ceptron (our baselines).

The order of the contributors names were chosen based on a bootstrapping procedure where the names was drawn 100 times. i Abstract Market risk is one of the most prevailing risks to which financial institutions are exposed. The most popular approach in quantifying market risk is through Value at Risk. Organisations and regulators often require a long historical horizon of the affecting financial variables to estimate the risk exposures. A long horizon stresses the completeness of the available data; something risk applications need to handle. The goal of this thesis is to evaluate and propose methods to impute finan- cial time series. The performance of the methods will be measured with respect to both price-, and risk metric replication. Two different use cases are evaluated; missing values randomly place in the time series and consecutively missing values at the end-point of a time series. In total, there are five models applied to each use case, respectively. For the first use case, the results show that all models perform better than the naive approach.
