Machine Learning Is the 20 First Century Prospector

There's a huge amount of information out there, but the challenge is that it's not well structured or even digitized. The data world can do for us what the 20 first century prospector would never have been able to do with all his biases. We're talking about things like gravitationa anomalies, magnetic anomalies, n p, electromagnetic responsevs, things like that. He whole class of data, geochemical data is is compositional data in basically a point in space and a list of concentrations at that location. Then you have mineralogical data, which is like geo chemical data, but is more complex because it gets into not just a list of elements, but actually what molecules the
