A Comparative Study of Feature Selection Approaches: 2016-2020[ ]


Feature Selection (FS) is a dimensionality reduction method that is commonly adopted in the fields of machine learning, pattern recognition, statistics, and data mining. It is a preprocessing course of action universally used for huge volume of data and FS technique aims to select a subset of relevant features from the original set of features according to some criteria. Other than selecting the subset, it also congregates some other purposes, such as dimensionality reduction, compact the amount of data which are required for learning process, progress in predictive accuracy and increasing the constructed models. In literature, comprehensive work exists on the feature selection techniques.

Investigating the Effect of Changes in Pipeline Declination on Severe Slugging[ ]


Severe slugging is an obnoxious multiphase flow regime in offshore oil and gas production systems. Its unstable nature poses problems not just to production/processing systems in form of sudden surges in liquid production that could result in separator overflow and shutdown and fluctuations in gas production that could cause operational /safety issues but also to the life of the well where increase in back – pressure could kill the well. A more grave consequence could be a reduction in the recoverable reserve in an oil and gas field. Hence, pipelines and subsea systems must be designed to assure that the multiphase fluids are transported from the wells to the processing facility safely and economically.
