The Artificial Geologist: Using Machine Learning & Neural Networks to Find Gold

Whimsical Wavelengths - A Science Podcast di Jeffrey Mark Zurek - PhD, PGeo, Geophysicist Volcanologist Science Communicator

Note sull'episodio

The "motherlode" is just a model away. In this episode, Dr. Jeffrey Zurek (P.Geo) bridges between the classroom & the boardroom with colleague & data scientist Frederick Jackson from Computational Geosciences Inc. Together, they explore how machine learning (ML) & artificial intelligence are revolutionizing mineral exploration.

We dig into the expensive reality of drilling—where a single hole can cost over $100k—& how neural networks act as an "artificial geologist" to find patterns in massive "data cubes." From the Yilgarn Craton of Western Australia to the surprising links between finding gold, & detecting brain tumors, this episode proves that while the intelligence might be artificial, the discovery  ...
