By leveraging previously dated volcanic samples, we assess whether existing age and geochemical data can reliably group and predict volcanic episodes. Our study focuses on the Kula Volcanic Province (Turkey). We compare the effectiveness of two analytical techniques—Electron Microprobe Analysis (EPMA) and Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS)—in producing high-quality datasets for training deep learning models. While EPMA provides major and minor elemental compositions, LA-ICP-MS offers a broader range of trace elements, which may improve classification accuracy. Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the feasibility of AI-based volcanic rock age estimation. In the first experiment, an autoencoder and unsupervised clustering were applied to reduce dimensionality and group samples based on their elemental composition. The results revealed that EPMA data lacked sufficient detail to form well-defined clusters, whereas LA-ICP-MS data produced clusters that closely aligned with true age classes due to their higher sensitivity to trace elements. In the second experiment, a deep neural network (DNN) was trained to classify rock ages. The LA-ICP-MS-based model achieved a classification accuracy of 95 %, significantly outperforming the EPMA-based model (72 %). These findings underscore the importance of data quality and analytical technique selection in AI-powered geochronology, demonstrating that high-quality trace element data enhances AI model performance for volcanic rock age estimation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":33804,"journal":{"name":"Applied Computing and Geosciences","volume":"27 ","pages":"Article 100263"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144604315","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study introduces a new method that combines Large Language Models (LLMs), knowledge graphs (KGs), and Neuro-Symbolic AI (NSAI) models to predict mineralization systems in diverse copper deposits, significantly increasing the precision in prediction results. We utilize LLMs to generate KGs from geological literature, extracting symbolic rules that encode domain-specific insights about copper mineralization. These rules, derived dynamically from expert knowledge, are integrated into ML models as guidance during the training and prediction phases. By fusing symbolic reasoning with ML's computational power, our approach overcomes the limitations of black-box models, offering both improved accuracy and transparency in mineral prediction. To validate this method, we apply it to a comprehensive geochemical dataset of global copper deposits. The results show that rule-guided ML models achieve notable performance improvements, outperforming traditional ML methods in accuracy, precision, and robustness. Interpretability is further enhanced by using tools such as SHAP values, which explain the influence of individual geochemical features within the rule-based framework. This combination not only identifies critical geochemical elements like Cu, Fe, and S but also provides coherent, domain-aligned explanations for the predicted mineralization patterns. Our findings demonstrate the transformative potential of combining LLMs, KGs, and ML models for mineral prediction.

However, crowdsourcing often suffers from inaccuracies in rainfall classification due to inadequately trained participants. This study investigates whether machine learning models can reduce misclassification in crowd-sourced rainfall reports under a synthetic framework. A state-of-the-art stochastic rainfall generator is deployed to simulate high-resolution rainfall over Bangalore, India, traditionally monitored by only two rain gauge stations. The study assumes that the 'synthetic' crowd reports qualitative descriptions of two rainfall characteristics—intensity and duration—based on which a categorization of a rainfall event (normal/moderate/severe) is issued. Ten scenarios are introduced to represent varying degrees of misclassification in the crowd reports. Two machine learning models, random forest and logistic regression, are employed to address these misclassifications and improve the resulting rainfall categorization. The findings indicate that while the random forest model outperforms logistic regression, its performance declines as misclassification rates increase. Moreover, the study highlights that increasing the number of participants significantly enhances the post-processing performance, emphasizing the importance of properly training the crowd for accurate reporting.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":33804,"journal":{"name":"Applied Computing and Geosciences","volume":"26 ","pages":"Article 100255"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144243509","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
