r/MachineLearning - [N] $1M Unearthed - Explorer challenge - Machine Learning and Geology

There's been some interest in the Explorer Challenge which is a 1 million dollar competition combining machine learning and geology to come up with the best prospect. A funny video and detailed slides have been released. I was also at the presentation in Perth, Australia so feel free to clarify things with me if the slides aren't clear. This is an interesting competition because geology seems like it could be disrupted by the application of ML, but it's also challenging because of the large amount of contextual and qualitative data that goes into making decisions.
