A Survey on Deep Learning-based Architectures for Semantic Segmentation on 2D images
Semantic segmentation is the pixel-wise labelling of an image. Since the
problem is defined at the pixel level, determining image class labels only is
not acceptable, but localising them at the original image pixel resolution is
necessary. Boosted by the extraordinary ability of convolutional neural
networks (CNN) in creating semantic, high level and hierarchical image
features; excessive numbers of deep learning-based 2D semantic segmentation
approaches have been proposed within the last decade. In this survey, we mainly
focus on the recent scientific developments in semantic segmentation,
specifically on deep learning-based methods using 2D images. We started with an
analysis of the public image sets and leaderboards for 2D semantic
segmantation, with an overview of the techniques employed in performance
evaluation. In examining the evolution of the field, we chronologically
categorised the approaches into three main periods, namely pre-and early deep
learning era, the fully convolutional era, and the post-FCN era. We technically
analysed the solutions put forward in terms of solving the fundamental problems
of the field, such as fine-grained localisation and scale invariance. Before
drawing our conclusions, we present a table of methods from all mentioned eras,
with a brief summary of each approach that explains their contribution to the
field. We conclude the survey by discussing the current challenges of the field
and to what extent they have been solved.Comment: Updated with new studie
A General Spatio-Temporal Clustering-Based Non-local Formulation for Multiscale Modeling of Compartmentalized Reservoirs
Representing the reservoir as a network of discrete compartments with
neighbor and non-neighbor connections is a fast, yet accurate method for
analyzing oil and gas reservoirs. Automatic and rapid detection of coarse-scale
compartments with distinct static and dynamic properties is an integral part of
such high-level reservoir analysis. In this work, we present a hybrid framework
specific to reservoir analysis for an automatic detection of clusters in space
using spatial and temporal field data, coupled with a physics-based multiscale
modeling approach. In this work a novel hybrid approach is presented in which
we couple a physics-based non-local modeling framework with data-driven
clustering techniques to provide a fast and accurate multiscale modeling of
compartmentalized reservoirs. This research also adds to the literature by
presenting a comprehensive work on spatio-temporal clustering for reservoir
studies applications that well considers the clustering complexities, the
intrinsic sparse and noisy nature of the data, and the interpretability of the
outcome.

Geometric deep learning: going beyond Euclidean data
Many scientific fields study data with an underlying structure that is a
non-Euclidean space. Some examples include social networks in computational
social sciences, sensor networks in communications, functional networks in
brain imaging, regulatory networks in genetics, and meshed surfaces in computer
graphics. In many applications, such geometric data are large and complex (in
the case of social networks, on the scale of billions), and are natural targets
for machine learning techniques. In particular, we would like to use deep
neural networks, which have recently proven to be powerful tools for a broad
range of problems from computer vision, natural language processing, and audio
analysis. However, these tools have been most successful on data with an
underlying Euclidean or grid-like structure, and in cases where the invariances
of these structures are built into networks used to model them. Geometric deep
learning is an umbrella term for emerging techniques attempting to generalize
(structured) deep neural models to non-Euclidean domains such as graphs and
manifolds. The purpose of this paper is to overview different examples of
geometric deep learning problems and present available solutions, key
difficulties, applications, and future research directions in this nascent
field
