Machine Learning applied to geosciences and mining | Training course
Gain insight into Machine Learning concepts and practices for the mining industry. Apply them to domain modeling.
Objectives
In this hands-on course, you’ll unlock the power of machine learning to elevate mineral resource modeling and geoscientific workflows. You’ll learn how to define geological or geometallurgical domains, apply classification and regression algorithms, and seamlessly integrate Python’s scikit-learn with Isatis.neo—all tailored for mining applications. Through a balanced mix of theory and practical exercises, you’ll build routines that boost exploration accuracy, enhance resource characterization, and support smarter, data-driven decisions throughout the mining lifecycle.
Course content
- Module I: General aspects of Machine Learning and introduction to the Python language
- Module II: Unsupervised learning
Data transformations, clustering techniques – theory and practice, cluster quality evaluation. - Module III: Supervised learning
Predictive models – theory and practice, model validation, hyper-parameter tuning, model application.
** The course can be reduced to two days by removing Module II or Module III from the program.
