IBM's Watson improves data processing times at Red Lake

摘要

Processing data at Goldcorp's Red Lake mine in Ontario became 97 per cent more efficient for geologists after using IBM Canada's Watson cognitive technology at the site for a year, according to the gold mining company. Watson was tasked with analyzing 80 years' worth of data at Red Lake to help geologists determine what areas might be valuable for exploration work. The project was announced in March 2017 at last year's PDAC convention.
