A Path from Geoscience into ML Jesper Dramsch
If You Take One Thing Away Become a T-shaped person
and stay curious. Become knowledgeable in many topics and an expert in a few. Make connections and share what you learn. Build a portfolio of projects and probably learn coding.
Where are we going today? • My Background • What’s
Machine Learning? • Geo to ML?! • What’s important in ML?

Don’t need that in my life (Also climate change...)
What is Machine Learning? And why should I care?
None
if x > 5 Classical rule-based and expert systems
Computers figure it out based on the data
Models that do not have external information Blackbox models
Some seismic data
An “inversion”
Self-driving cars
Neural Networks The new hype that is older than all
of us
A neural network
A neural network
What is AI, ML, and Deep Learning?
A neural network as it is used today
The learned filters
What is the connection Why do we care in geoscience?!
Matching of seismic data
The differences between unmatched and matched
Compared to a baseline method
• Generating Synthetic Data • Earthquake localisation • Drill Core
Processing • Clustering of Well Data • Prediction of Volcanic activity • Satellite Data What else though?
How did I change careers?
Start Projects Application > Theory • Participate in Hackathons •
Build Apps • Compete on Kaggle • Get familiar with the Math
Build a breadth of knowledge Dive deep in some expertise
