Halliburton Makes Oil Exploration Safer Using MATLAB and Neural Networks

“Using MATLAB and MATLAB Compiler, I can develop an application at least 100 times faster than I could with Visual Basic or C. The time we saved on the very first application that we wrote in MATLAB more than paid for the software.” —Roger Schultz, Halliburton Energy Services

Neural Network Toolbox

Description

Introduction

Neural Network Toolbox™ provides tools for designing, implementing, visualizing, and simulating neural networks. Neural networks are used for applications where formal analysis would be difficult or impossible, such as pattern recognition and nonlinear system identification and control. The toolbox supports feedforward networks, radial basis networks, dynamic networks, self-organizing maps, and other proven network paradigms.

Key Features

  • Neural network design, training, and simulation
  • Pattern recognition, clustering, and data-fitting tools
  • Supervised networks including feedforward, radial basis, LVQ, time delay, nonlinear autoregressive (NARX), and layer-recurrent
  • Unsupervised networks including self-organizing maps and competitive layers
  • Preprocessing and postprocessing for improving the efficiency of network training and assessing network performance
  • Modular network representation for managing and visualizing networks of arbitrary size
  • Routines for improving generalization to prevent overfitting
  • Simulink® blocks for building and evaluating neural networks, and advanced blocks for control systems applications
