A restricted Boltzmann machine can be trained to encode and reconstruct training samples from a training sample population with an unknown complex probability distribution. Small probability samples can be differentiated from the training sample population due to their comparatively larger encoded and reconstructed errors. In mineral potential mapping, mineral potential areas usually take up only a small proportion of the whole mineral exploration region and have specific evidence map patterns. Assume that the whole mineral exploration region is divided into uniform cells and a restricted Boltzmann machine is then trained on all the cells. As a small proportion of the total training cells, mineral potential cells have much larger encoded and reconstructed errors compared to non-mineral potential cells. Based on the encoded and reconstructed errors of the training cells,ASCandASEare thus defined as two mineral potential indicators for mineral potential mapping with the trained restricted Boltzmann machine. The Altay district in northern Xinjiang in China, which is linked with a complex geological setting, is chosen as a case study area. Restricted Boltzmann machines with 12 visible units and differing hidden units are constructed and trained on 9582 training cells in the study area. TheASC,ASE, posterior probability, and deposit-bearing probability are used to predict the mineral potential of each grid cell in the study area. TheAUC(area under the curve), a measure of aggregated classification performance in machine learning, is applied to measure the mineral potential mapping performance of these four mineral potential indicators. The results show that the four mineral potential indicators perform similarly well. Therefore, a restricted Boltzmann machine can be trained to map mineral potentials, and theASCandASEare two feasible indicators for the mineral potential mapping with the trained restricted Boltzmann machine.
