ANN are especially useful when there is missing or noisy process data, and when a mathematical model of the process is not readily available, as is the case with some Artificial Lift methods. Some ANN models exhibit excellent dimensionality reduction and visualization capabilities, mapping non-linear statistical relationships between high-dimensional data into simple geometric relationships, preserving the most important topological relationships of the data set. Thus, useful insight on the behavior of the process under study can be gained and used in its analysis and diagnosis. All this makes ANN a very useful tool in the exploratory phase of data mining. Results of several case studies applying ANN in pattern recognition of some Artificial Lift systemas are presented UR - https://biblioteca.iapg.org.ar/ArchivosAdjuntos/LACPEC2001/Spe69405.pdf ER -
