Artificial intelligence explores the underground

Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have shown that artificial neural networks have the potential to determine very precisely the characteristics of rock layers, like their mineralogical composition, solely on the basis of drill core images. This could speed up future geological investigation efforts while simultaneously optimising costs.
