用自然语言查询生成矿产勘查证据图层,提升找矿效率。

QueryPlot: Generating Geological Evidence Layers using Natural Language Queries for Mineral Exploration

  • 通过自然语言查询匹配地质文本与地图数据,生成连续证据层。
  • 在钨矽卡岩矿床案例中召回率高,结果与专家划定区域高度一致。
  • 支持交互式查询和GIS导出,适合地质勘查人员使用。

矿产远景预测需整合异构地质知识,包括文本化的矿床模型和地理空间数据,以识别可能赋存特定矿床类型的区域。传统方法依赖人工且知识密集。我们提出QueryPlot,一种结合大规模地质文本语料库与地质图数据的语义检索与制图框架,采用现代自然语言处理技术。我们整理了超过120种矿床类型的描述性矿床模型,并将州级地质图汇编(SGMC)多边形转化为结构化文本表示。用户输入自然语言查询后,系统利用预训练嵌入模型编码查询与区域描述,计算语义相似度并排序,空间可视化为连续证据层。QueryPlot支持对矿床特征的组合查询,可聚合多个相似度层进行多准则远景分析。在钨矽卡岩矿床案例中,基于嵌入的检索实现了高召回率,生成的远景区与专家定义的容许带高度吻合。此外,相似度分数可作为监督学习中的额外特征,显著提升分类性能。QueryPlot已实现为网页系统,支持交互查询、可视化及导出兼容GIS的远景图层。为促进后续研究,本文公开了源代码与所用数据集。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Mineral prospectivity mapping requires synthesizing heterogeneous geological knowledge, including textual deposit models and geospatial datasets, to identify regions likely to host specific mineral deposit types. This process is traditionally manual and knowledge-intensive. We present QueryPlot, a semantic retrieval and mapping framework that integrates large-scale geological text corpora with geologic map data using modern Natural Language Processing techniques. We curate descriptive deposit models for over 120 deposit types and transform the State Geologic Map Compilation (SGMC) polygons into structured textual representations. Given a user-defined natural language query, the system encodes both queries and region descriptions using a pretrained embedding model and computes semantic similarity scores to rank and spatially visualize regions as continuous evidence layers. QueryPlot supports compositional querying over deposit characteristics, enabling aggregation of multiple similarity-derived layers for multi-criteria prospectivity analysis. In a case study on tungsten skarn deposits, we demonstrate that embedding-based retrieval achieves high recall of known occurrences and produces prospective regions that closely align with expert-defined permissive tracts. Furthermore, similarity scores can be incorporated as additional features in supervised learning pipelines, yielding measurable improvements in classification performance. QueryPlot is implemented as a web-based system supporting interactive querying, visualization, and export of GIS-compatible prospectivity layers.To support future research, we have made the source code and datasets used in this study publicly available.
