IN21C:
Artificial Intelligence Applications in the Geosciences: Promises and Challenges for the Future II Posters


Submit an Abstract to this Session


Session ID#: 63242

Session Description:
The data volume within the geosciences has grown exponentially over the last few decades, and advanced computing and artificial intelligence techniques are paving new pathways for geoscientific discoveries. Specifically, AI and knowledge-based reasoning promise to accelerate discovery in the next century as approaches in adaptive sensing, machine learning, deep learning, knowledge graphing and other approaches are increasingly applied across the geosciences. Despite the demonstrated power of these techniques, their application to the geosciences is limited to date. The EarthCube sponsored Research Coordination Network for Intelligent Systems in Geosciences, or IS-GEO, is an emerging community of researchers with active working groups that support methodology and technique sharing, encourage cross-disciplinary research collaborations, and development of data benchmarks to accelerate progress. The goal of this session is to discuss the potential benefits and current challenges of artificial intelligence techniques to expand our understanding of geologic processes.
