Abstract:
Hypothesis testing systems for detection of hidden features, for example in geology, are provided. In various embodiments, a plurality of rules is read. The rules relate a plurality of observable phenomena to a hidden feature of interest. Based on the feature of interest and the plurality of rules, a plurality of scenarios is generated. Each scenario specifies a combination of observations sufficient to indicate presence of the hidden feature of interest. The plurality of scenarios is ranked based on a score associated with each of the observations. A plurality of observations is received. The plurality of scenarios is compared to the plurality of observations. Those of the plurality of scenarios inconsistent with the plurality of observations are discarded Additional observations are received until at least one of the plurality of scenarios is fully supported.

Claim (Index 21):
A computer program product for detection of a hidden feature of interest, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform a method comprising:\n reading a plurality of rules, the rules relating a plurality of observable phenomena to a hidden feature of interest; based on the feature of interest and the plurality of rules, generating a plurality of hypothetical scenarios, each hypothetical scenario specifying a combination of observations sufficient to indicate the hidden feature of interest; ranking the plurality of possible hypothetical scenarios based on a score associated with each of the observations; receiving a plurality of observations, and thereupon comparing the plurality of hypothetical scenarios to the plurality of observations,\n discarding those of the plurality of hypothetical scenarios inconsistent with the plurality of observations, and \n receiving additional observations until at least one of the plurality of hypothetical scenarios is fully supported, thereby validating the at least one of the plurality of hypothetical scenarios.
