As part of the suite of Conductivity, Temperature, Depth (CTD) AI tools being produced by the Office of the Chief Data Steward (OCDS), we are developing a model to assist with identifying and deleting poor quality scans during the CTD quality control process. Using a combination of a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) to cluster CTD scans into groups with similar physical properties and Multi-Layer Perceptrons to classify the scans in each group, we are able to automatically flag the poor-quality scans to be deleted with a high degree of accuracy. Through the deployment of the model as a real-time online endpoint and the support of model communication through a client-side program, we have successfully integrated an experimental model into the client's business process in a field testing environment. The continuation of this line of work will now look to bring the model into a production environment for regular usage in the quality control process. | As part of the suite of Conductivity, Temperature, Depth (CTD) AI tools being produced by the Office of the Chief Data Steward (OCDS), we are developing a model to assist with identifying and deleting poor quality scans during the CTD quality control process.
