en.Wedoany.com Reported - Chile's National Geology and Mining Service (Servicio Nacional de Geología y Minería, Sernageomin) recently held a working meeting with the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso (PUCV). As a co-executing agency for the E700 Digital Project, PUCV participated in reviewing the progress of the project's second milestone. The project aims to modernize the management of geological and mining hazard information through the development of digital tools.
Professionals from Sernageomin's National Observatory of Geological and Mining Hazards evaluated the current status of related development work during the meeting and coordinated subsequent project phases. The meeting reviewed a data model structure proposal developed by scholars Vinicius Minatogawa, Gabriel Villavicencio, Jorge Rojas, and Gabriel Hermosilla. This work will drive the digitization of the E700 form, optimizing information collection, storage, and analysis processes.
The meeting also showcased a data visualization platform (in dashboard form) developed by Abraham Carroza, Alan Prado, and Simón Palma. This tool allows querying and analyzing information collected through digital forms, facilitating the tracking of recorded data. Additionally, the meeting reviewed progress on the Geographic Information System (GIS) data model, led by geographer Emilio Bustos, which will enhance the georeferencing of relevant deposits and events for the project and incorporate spatial analysis tools to support the service's technical management.
Regarding the development of artificial intelligence solutions, Gabriel Olmos and Giovanni Cocca introduced the Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architecture and machine learning models. These tools will improve professional information processing and support new functionalities of the observatory. Sernageomin professionals also visited the site designated for installing the computing infrastructure that will support subsequent project phases. The project considers developing a virtual assistant and a platform for monitoring the national tailings dam registry through machine learning techniques, solutions that contribute to the analysis and management of technical information.
Sernageomin's National Deputy Director, Mauricio Lorca, stated that the project is part of the institution's modernization process aimed at strengthening institutional capacity. He emphasized that the introduction of new technologies will optimize the management of geological and mining information, enhancing its analysis and availability to support decision-making. The project reflects collaboration between the public sector and academia, aiming to develop tools that strengthen Sernageomin's technical capabilities and contribute to national risk management and mining activities. The E700 Digital Project plans to develop a suite of tools, including form digitization, data management and visualization, geospatial analysis, and AI-based solutions, to strengthen the work of the National Observatory of Geological and Mining Hazards and provide more timely technical information to support institutional management.
