“…large amounts of data, high dimensionality, and non-linearity of the input data. These applications include but are not limited to groundwater flow modelling (e.g., Sahoo et al, 2017), geophysics (e.g., Ehret, 2010Köhler et al, 2010;Raiche, 1991), pore-scale modelling (e.g., Menke et al, 2021;Wang et al, 2021), reservoir geology (e.g., Demyanov et al, 2019;Su et al, 2018), subsurface modelling (e.g., Pyrcz et al, 2006;Scheidt et al, 2015), geological uncertainty (e.g., Caers et al, 2010;Maldonado-Cruz and Pyrcz, 2021), reservoir engineering (e.g., Brantson et al, 2018), or production optimization (e.g., Insuasty et al, 2015).…”
