Ever heard of spurious #correlation? It's when two or more events or variables appear to be correlated, but there's no real causal relationship between them. One common cause is having too few samples! To demonstrate this concept, I've developed an interactive #Python dashboard

Do you use #Shapley values for explainable #AI (#XAI)? To help teach this powerful method, I’ve developed a set of interactive #Python dashboards where you can modify data relationships and observe how the dependency plots shift in real-time! Check it out on my #GitHub,

I watched the latest 'A Quiet Place' movie last night and then spent some time strategizing with #ChatGPT about how to defend humanity. I'm intrigued by the concept of a non-technical alien species evolving extreme strength, speed, and toughness that could surpass our cognitive

I hiked Twin Lakes and Cedar Park on Saturday morning and cycled the Veloway in Austin this morning. While the summers in #Austin, #Texas, can be scorching, with temperatures often exceeding 100°F, the mornings are incredible. I love joining our vibrant community early in the

The plastic cover for my #Jeep Wrangler's gear shifter broke, so as a #geoscientist and #rock #engineer, I took matters into my own hands. I carved a new one out of green jade from British Columbia, Canada. Now, every time I shift gears, I feel a piece of Canada!

Curious about density-based #clustering with DBSCAN? Want to see it in action and explore how hyperparameter tuning affects the model? Try out my interactive #Python dashboard on GitHub: Interactive_DBSCAN.ipynb ∀. #DataScience #MachineLearning github.com/GeostatsGuy/Da…

You’ve heard of kriging—the best, linear, unbiased estimator that also gives you the kriging variance, a measure of estimation uncertainty. But do you really understand how it behaves? To help my students grasp #spatial predictions with kriging, I created an interactive #Python

Like my #DataScience interactive #Python dashboards? I create and share a ton of them on my #GitHub repository, GeostatsGuy / DataScienceInteractivePython. Explore and learn! Check them out here, github.com/GeostatsGuy/Da… ∀.

At the UT PGE Texas Engineering faculty retreat yesterday, we focused on enhancing collaboration, shaping future research directions, and modernizing our educational approaches. I’m fortunate to work with a department of dedicated professors, including Professors Matt Balhoff

This week, I'm at #IMAGE24 in Houston, Texas, with several of my graduate students, showcasing their impressive research and gaining valuable experience. I’m a proud #UTAustin professor!

What a fantastic day at #IMAGE24! I had the honor of chairing two technical sessions on #geoscience and #machinelearning, featuring presentations from several of my graduate students. A big shoutout to Eduardo Maldonado-Cruz (PhD 2023), Misael Morales, Ahmed Merzoug, Elnara

It was a pleasure to meet Chrissy Marshall at #IMAGE24! Super cool to watch him rapidly create caricatures of several other attendees. Very talented and creative artist! Thank you, Christian.

Today we held our #UTAustin Subsurface #DataScience consortium today at Chevron’s downtown Houston office! Professors Michael Pyrcz🌻 & John Foster and several of our graduate students presented 18 technical talks, papers, codes and demonstrations to representatives from >10

My flight to the Geostatistical Congress #Geostats2024 (Geostats2024) was delayed, leaving me stranded at Newark today. I decided to visit New York City and spent the morning at the 9/11 Memorial & Museum. The memorial is a profound tribute to the 2,977 victims and all those affected

I gave the opening keynote address at Geostatistical Congress in Ponta Delgada, Azores, Portugal this morning. Held once every 4 years, Geostatistical Congress is our olympics! I shared the opportunities for geostatisticians in the AI revolution and encouraged students and early

I spent some time exploring São Miguel Island in the #Azores, Portugal. I rented a tiny Fiat, perfect for navigating the narrow village streets! One of the highlights was driving to the ancient caldera of the Furnas Volcano and hiking up to the rim. The landscape was surreal,

I had an incredible time this week at the #Geostatistics Congress in Ponta Delgada, Azores, Portugal! It was so rewarding to hear from so many students and professors who are learning and teaching with my educational content on YouTube and GitHub. I'm thrilled and inspired! It
