IAMG Distinguished Lecture di Jeff Boisvert presso Politecnico di Milano
by Alessandra Menafoglio 03 Jul '25

03 Jul '25

Si avvisa che in data 11-07-2025, alle ore 10:00 presso il Politecnico di Milano, Edificio 14 (Via Bonardi 9), in Aula B.5.3 (quinto piano), nell’ambito delle attività del MOX e della IAMG Distinguished Lecture Series, si svolgerà il seguente seminario: Jeff Boisvert — University of Alberta e IAMG Distinguished Lecturer for 2025 Titolo: The Future of Machine Learning and Model Validation in the Earth Sciences: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly Abstract: The earth sciences are being transformed by advances in machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence. From optimizing mineral estimation and hydrocarbon production to improving wildfire prediction and management, these methods offer exciting opportunities for modeling and decision-making. However, these advances bring challenges with model validation, which is critical for ensuring that predictions are robust, reasonable, and actionable. This lecture will delve into the evolving role of ML in the mining, hydrocarbon, or wildfire industry, highlighting successes, pitfalls, and future prospects. "The Good" will explore case studies and implementations where ML has significantly improved modeling, decision making, and inference. "The Bad" will examine common pitfalls, including data biases, overfitting, and the misuse of algorithms without understanding domain constraints. Finally, "The Ugly" will confront the ethical and operational risks posed by poorly validated models, emphasizing the importance of transparency and domain experts. This lecture will not only focus on ML methods, but will also consider how to validate all types of earth science models including estimates, simulations, and decision making. We will discuss best practices for integrating ML models into traditional workflows while addressing the complexities of model validation. The seminar is part of the IAMG Distinguished Lecture Series, which is aimed to highlight the critical role of mathematics and statistics in addressing key challenges in the geosciences.
