Abstract
By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News – Stanford researchers have developed an artificial intelligence-based tool - dubbed SandAI - that can reveal the histor y of quartz sand grains going back hundreds of millions of years. With SandAI, r esearchers can tell with high accuracy if wind, rivers, waves, or glacial moveme nts shaped and deposited motes of sand. The tool gives researchers a unique window into the past for geological and arch eological studies, especially for eras and environments where few other clues, s uch as fossils, are preserved through time. SandAI’s approach, called microtextu ral analysis, can also help with modern-day forensic investigations into illegal sand mining and related issues.
