Soft Sensor for Bottom-Hole Pressure Estimation in Petroleum Wells Using Long Short-Term Memory and Transfer Learning

The paper presents a machine‑learning soft sensor that estimates bottom‑hole pressure (BHP) in petroleum wells using wellhead and topside data. It employs a Long Short‑Term Memory (LSTM) model, compares it with Multi‑Layer Perceptron and Ridge Regression, and introduces transfer learning to adapt the model across different operational settings. Tested on offshore datasets from Brazil’s Pre‑salt basin, the LSTM achieved a mean absolute percentage error below 2%, outperforming the benchmarks.

Text-Informed Training Data Filtering for Enhanced Virtual Flow Meter Performance

The paper introduces a text-informed training data filtering approach that uses large language models to combine unstructured operational text with tabular sensor data for anomaly detection and dataset masking. Applied to a virtual flow meter for oil and gas, the multimodal method reduces mean absolute percentage error from 7.1% to 5.4% compared to sensor-only filtering. Ablation studies confirm that operator comments provide additional filtering signals beyond sensor data alone.

An Input-Frugal Deep Learning Framework for Weather-Driven National Crop-Yield Forecasting: A Case Study of Brazilian Soybean

The paper introduces a lightweight deep learning framework that forecasts Brazilian soybean yields using only routine weather data and two simple static inputs (crop year and agro-environmental label). Across 20 seasons, transformer-based models achieved the highest accuracy, outperforming traditional ridge regression and a moving‑average baseline by nearly 48%. Ablation studies show that the static inputs and spatial expansion improve performance without adding complexity, and SHAP analysis highlights the importance of crop year and weather variables in driving yield variations.

Drift Field Net: Learning Ocean Lagrangian advection fields from in-situ and satellite observations

Drift Field Net (DFN) is a deep neural network that predicts ocean surface flow fields from satellite observations, trained via a two‑stage strategy combining simulated data pretraining and Lagrangian fine‑tuning with an advection‑consistent loss. DFN improves particle trajectory forecasts, reducing mean positioning error by 20 km over a 7‑day period compared to an operational physics‑based model, and further decreasing error by 10 km when the advection loss is applied. The study demonstrates that incorporating Lagrangian constraints into deep‑learning training enhances ocean surface flow prediction accuracy.

A Multi-Fidelity Convolutional Autoencoder-Transfer Learning Framework for Guided-Wave-Based Damage Diagnosis Using Large Simulated and Limited Experimental Datasets

Guided wave-based structural health monitoring (GWSHM) with onboard transducers offers significant potential for the early diagnosis of damage in engineering structures. However, the practical deployment of deep learning models is often hindered by the limited availability of labelled experimental data and the high computational cost of generating large-scale high-fidelity simulation datasets.
