Overview
Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the broad field of research and development of systems and machines capable of performing tasks that usually require human intelligence. These tasks include learning from data, recognizing patterns, making decisions, and solving problems.
AI is revolutionizing industries by automating complex processes, providing predictive data-driven insights, and improving efficiency by saving time and reducing costs.
How AI Works
AI systems use algorithms to learn from data and make informed decisions. Some key components include:
Machine Learning (ML): A subset of AI that enables systems to learn from data without explicit programming. Over time, these systems improve as they process more data.
Deep Learning: A specialized form of ML that uses neural networks to recognize patterns in data, driving applications such as image and speech recognition.
Random Forest in AI
Random Forest is a powerful AI technique commonly used in industries like geology and mineral exploration, and it is the method VRIFY leverages to generate accurate predictions. This ensemble learning approach excels at both classification and regression tasks, making it especially well-suited for analyzing complex geological data.
How It Works: Random Forest builds multiple decision trees from random subsets of data and features. The final prediction is made by averaging or voting on the predictions from all the trees.
Benefits: It handles large datasets, deals with missing data, is resilient to noise in the data, and minimizes prediction errors, making it ideal for tasks like identifying promising drill targets in mineral exploration.
What are Vision Transformers
In VRIFY AI, a variety of image based files (topography, geological interpretations, geophysical surveys, remote sensing, geochemical maps, etc) are fed into the model as part of the training steps to produce mineralization probability maps.
In order for the deep learning model to digest this exploration data to perform the complex relationship mapping and prediction, the image files need to first be fused and then converted to numbers matrices or tensors. As part of the prediction model, the neural network encodes the multi-channel data from the images into a latent space, this process is called “encoding or embedding”.
At VRIFY AI, “Vision Transformers” are used to embed the geological information, which is fed forward in the prediction algorithm.
Benefits of AI
Efficiency: AI can process vast amounts of data, faster than humans, speeding up decision-making and allowing geologists to focus on higher-level analysis.
Accuracy: Well-trained AI models like Random Forest improve accuracy, reducing errors in prediction and classification tasks.
Scalability: AI easily handles large datasets and complex operations, making it valuable in data-heavy industries.
Probability based decision making: In order to make predictions, AI uses probabilistic models. The probabilities together with statistical parameters such as variance, help decision makers make data driven decisions.
