Abstract
Acoustic waves are obtained from an acoustic logging tool within a borehole passing through a formation. Signal properties in a time domain, frequency domain, or both are determined based on the obtained acoustic waves. A machine learning analysis is used to determine formation slowness based on the determined signal properties and a downhole operational parameter is adjusted based on the determined formation slowness.
