构建首个开源地质化探异常检测基准,提升模型泛化能力

GeoChemAD: Benchmarking Unsupervised Geochemical Anomaly Detection for Mineral Exploration

  • 基于多区域政府勘测数据构建8个子集,覆盖不同采样条件
  • 提出GeoChemFormer模型,在所有子集上检测准确率领先现有方法
  • 公开数据与代码,支持可复现研究,适合矿产勘探与无监督学习者

地质化探异常检测在矿产勘探中至关重要,因偏离区域背景值可能预示成矿。现有研究存在两大局限:(1) 仅限单一区域,模型泛化性差;(2) 使用保密数据,结果无法复现。本文提出 extbf{GeoChemAD},一个开源基准数据集,源自政府主导的地质调查,涵盖多个区域、采样源和目标元素。数据集包含八个子集,代表不同空间尺度与采样条件。为建立强基线,我们复现并评估多种无监督异常检测方法,包括统计模型、生成模型与基于Transformer的方法。此外,提出 extbf{GeoChemFormer},一种利用自监督预训练学习目标元素感知的地化表示的Transformer框架。大量实验表明,GeoChemFormer在全部八个子集上均表现最优,显著优于现有无监督方法,在异常检测准确率与泛化能力上均有提升。所提出的数据集与框架为该领域的可复现研究与未来发展奠定基础。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Geochemical anomaly detection plays a critical role in mineral exploration as deviations from regional geochemical baselines may indicate mineralization. Existing studies suffer from two key limitations: (1) single region scenarios which limit model generalizability; (2) proprietary datasets, which makes result reproduction unattainable. In this work, we introduce \textbf{GeoChemAD}, an open-source benchmark dataset compiled from government-led geological surveys, covering multiple regions, sampling sources, and target elements. The dataset comprises eight subsets representing diverse spatial scales and sampling conditions. To establish strong baselines, we reproduce and benchmark a range of unsupervised anomaly detection methods, including statistical models, generative and transformer-based approaches. Furthermore, we propose \textbf{GeoChemFormer}, a transformer-based framework that leverages self-supervised pretraining to learn target-element-aware geochemical representations for spatial samples. Extensive experiments demonstrate that GeoChemFormer consistently achieves superior and robust performance across all eight subsets, outperforming existing unsupervised methods in both anomaly detection accuracy and generalization capability. The proposed dataset and framework provide a foundation for reproducible research and future development in this direction.
