Event recap - Digital Tech Talk: Practical Applications of Machine Learning Across Mining and Exploration

Digital Tech Talk Overview

Machine learning has emerged as one of the biggest recent innovation buzzwords, and a key part in many digital transformation strategies. Businesses, however, have faced significant challenges embedding machine learning applications across their operations. This talk explores specific use cases where machine learning has been applied across exploration and mining, why it is difficult to embed or systematise this approach, and what is being done to address this.
