The Future of Geoscience is an overall theme for the conference in 2017, with focus on how geologists contribute to new thinking and value creation within their work areas and to “the green shift”. We have 10 various sessions and themes, and got by the abstract deadline October 14th many abstracts for oralpresentations and posters.The committee are currently working on preliminarey program, that will be posted here as soon as it is ready.In addition, we are working towards a workshop on Machine learning held by ESA and NGI. There will be a limit of 30 people that can participate. For more information and registration, see further down in the article.

Workshop at the Winter Conference.
The limit to participate is set to 30 persons.

Machine learning is the science of getting computers to act without being explicitly programmed. This technology has disrupted industries and everyday applications all around us, and is so pervasive today that we use it daily, without thought of what is going on behind the scenes. Some of the capabilities machine learning has given us include; self-driving cars, speech recognition, image recognition, recommender systems, and improved understanding of the human genome. Machine Learning technology is exceeding human performance when it comes to extracting knowledge from complex, multi-dimensional data sets, and is a key component of the ongoing renaissance in data science. The timing is perfect for leveraging these ground-breaking technologies within petroleum geoscience.   

In this workshop, hosted by Earth Science Analytics AS and NGI you will get hands on experience with some basic machine-learning applications for geoscience. You will also learn how this disruptive technology will enable more efficient and data-driven analysis of large-scale geoscience data sets.  

Exercise 1) Classification of sedimentary facies from well logs based on learning from core descriptions.

Exercise 2) Automated depth to bedrock interpretation from geophysical data
