We describe how machine learning and decision theory is combined in an application that supports control room operators of a combined heating and power plant to cope with the overwhelming complexity of situations when severe plant disturbancies occur. The application is designed as an assistant, rather than as an automatic system that intervenes directly in the operator/plant loop. The applicat...

Total organic carbon (TOC) content present in reservoir rocks is one of the important parameters, which could be used for evaluation of residual production potential and geochemical characterization of hydrocarbon-bearing units. In general, organic-rich rocks are characterized by higher porosity, higher sonic transit time, lower density, higher g-ray, and higher resistivity than other rocks. Cu...

Starting with chess, games have been a very popular research area outside Japan. With the building of strong programs as the prime objective, game research has provided important contributions in a wide variety of research areas such as search, planning, machine learning, specialized hardware and the study of cognitive processes involved in game playing. On the other hand, in Japan traditionall...
