11 - Machine learning techniques for nanoparticles transport

Abstract

Machine learning is a branch of artificial intelligence concerned with creating and developing algorithms that enable computers to learn behaviors or patterns from empirical data. The aim of this chapter is the implementation of machine learning algorithms in predicting nanoparticle transport in the oil reservoir. We used Jupyter Notebook for the implementation, which utilizes Python programming language. Jupyter Notebook is an open-source web tool that allows you to write live code while creating statistics and machine learning models. This chapter contains selected machine learning techniques that can be used for nanoparticle transport in porous media. It starts with the fundamentals of a number of machine learning methods, followed by basic metrics that are frequently used. After that, we discuss datasets and their analysis. Finally, we explain how to implement machine learning techniques in the Jupyter Notebook environment using Python programming language.
