In this episode with Dr. Mazyar Bahri, the focus is on "The Future of Numerical Models." The conversation highlights the limitations of classical machine learning for data-rich scenarios and complex processing needs. The emergence of GPUs and deep learning transformed modeling, enabling intricate multi-layered models. The application of these concepts in fields like mining and geotechnical engineering is explored, considering data scarcity challenges. The synergy between numerical models and deep learning is exemplified in a study predicting methane gas in mines. Integrating numerical models with machine learning offers the potential for accurate predictions in diverse conditions. The episode invites viewers to explore more on the MineTEDs website and social media platforms.
