Sadly (in my opinion) he doesn't answer the question in the article's title.
>From the paper: Conclusion Machine learning is such a large and complex field that an article of this length does not do justice to the intricacies of the topic. But I hope this article gives you enough of an overview of machine learning and some of the different techniques available and gives some ideas for how it might be used in the resources industry - particularly geoscience. I hope that using a data first approach helps you to frame your question - is a machine learning application the fit-for-purpose solution for your data science problem? - as well as to select the technique that is going to work best with your data. In other words: Machine learning can do lots of stuff and it may be able to help you answer your question depending on what it is and depending on what kind of data you have. So back the question in the title: What can machine learning do for geoscience? Answer: It depends... But I guess as geophysicists we always know that the answer to the question "will it help my project" is "it depends...". Sean Sean Walker, M.Sc., P.Geo.
