Book review: Machine Learning Methods in Geoscience
2025-03-20 12:15:13| Oil IT Journal - www.oilit.com
New book from the Society of Exploration Geophysicists covers a lot of ground. From the history of machine learning, to its potential to best "teams of geoscientists" with "magical" ease. A mathematical background is completed with examples in Matlab and Python. Applications covered include fault picking, seismic inversion, potential field methods and finite-difference modeling of 3D data. Theoretical basis for ML success remains elusive but a "shut up and compute" approach is accelerating. [ more ]
