Here's what you can expect...
Focusing on solving on big data geoscience problems in the oil & gas industry, the GeoHack is highly anticipated and will bring together machine learning enthusiasts, students, geoscientists, and industry specialists to exchange ideas and develop solutions to the many complex earth imaging problems the industry is faced with.
The GeoHack will facilitate a suitable atmosphere where software developers, engineers and geoscientists will spend intensive hours to hack, test and experiment with the latest advancements in machine learning algorithms against subsurface data such as seismic, logs, cores, to solve data mining, geological interpretation and quantitative reservoir characterization problems. It is a great opportunity for companies to benchmark machine learning algorithms performance, expose the most promising technologies, and understand successes and pitfalls in machine learning.
Prizes for the winning team await!
The driving force behind the GeoHack:
- We want to build the machine learning community focused on solving geoscience problems
- We want to think out-of-the-box! Solutions may be inspired by processes from outside of the oil & gas industry.
- We encourage diversity in teams! Mentors, experts, novices, geoscientists, students are very welcome to offer and test new ideas.
- We love open source software and open source data!
- We encourage industry collaboration, entrepreneurship and innovative startups
