    Hands on Machine Learning for Geoscientists and Engineers

    The five-day in-person course will focus on imparting practical ML skills for geological and reservoir engineering applications. Utilizing Python as the programming language, participants will be exposed to a comprehensive curriculum that covers exploratory data analysis, data preparation for modelling, and the application of fundamental ML concepts to real-world industry scenarios.

     

    In our daily class, we follow a three-part structure. We begin each session with a review of fundamental concepts, ensuring a strong foundation of knowledge. Next, we dive into live coding demos where you actively participate, experiencing hands-on learning as we code together. Finally, we culminate each session with guided exercises that provide valuable practical experience, focusing on real-world geological and engineering tasks and datasets. Get ready for an immersive learning journey that combines theory, application, and exploration in the field of ML for geoscientists and engineers.
