Hellooo! I am a newbie.
I hope this is the right subforum to ask this. I need help to start my journey.
About me:
I am the Sith lord, in my galactic empire i have 1000 planets that I wish to mine, and get rich.
Goal
So I have a dataset with 200 planets, with these parameters:
16 Input Variables for a Planet’s Mining Potential
- Mass – Total mass of the planet.
- Density – Indicates metal richness.
- Main Composition – Silicate, metallic, ice, or gas.
- Crust Composition – Major elements in the crust (e.g., Fe, Si, Mg).
- Atmosphere Type – Presence of corrosive gases, pressure, etc.
- Star Type – Determines element abundance.
- Star System Type – Single, binary, or cluster (affects metal content).
- Orbital Position – Distance from the star (e.g., habitable zone, asteroid belt).
- Tectonic Activity – Presence of volcanism, plate movements.
- Magnetosphere Strength – Protection from cosmic radiation.
- Surface Temperature – Affects equipment and mineral stability.
- Gravity – Impacts logistics and ore extraction.
- Moons – Affect tides and orbital stability.
- Hydrosphere Presence – Water availability for refining and extraction.
- Mining History – Prior operations affecting resource depletion.
- Accessibility – Proximity to trade hubs, ease of landing and launching.
16 Output Variables for Mining Potential
- Extractable Mineral Type – E.g., asbestos, quartz.
- Ore Type – E.g., iron ore, bauxite.
- Processing Complexity – Refining difficulty (low/medium/high).
- Gravity Challenges – Effect on infrastructure and transport.
- Logistics Score – Ease of transport and material handling.
- Atmospheric Hazard – Corrosive gases, extreme winds.
- Temperature Challenge – Equipment limits.
- Water Availability – Refining support.
- Energy Requirement – Power needs for extraction.
- Tides Impact – If water is present, tidal forces could help/hinder.
- Mining Stability – Risk of collapse, tectonic issues.
- Magnetic Disruption – Effects on navigation and mining tools.
- Metal Abundance Index – High/medium/low presence of rare metals.
- Radioactive Hazard – Uranium, thorium deposits.
- Environmental Risk – Dust storms, extreme cold, acid rain.
- Long-term Viability – How sustainable the mining operation is.
Now, not all these variables are known for all the planets.
I have the training data in the following format:
Training data
1. Input: A rocky planet with 1.2 Earth masses, a high-density iron-rich crust, a thin CO₂ atmosphere, orbiting a K-type star in a metal-rich open cluster. It has weak tectonic activity, no magnetosphere, and surface temperatures around 250K.
Output: Extractable resources include iron and nickel; low tectonic activity allows stable mining, but the weak magnetosphere increases radiation risks.
2. Input: A gas giant with 3 Earth masses and a thick hydrogen-helium atmosphere, orbiting a binary F-type system. It has 12 moons, some of which contain icy deposits and subsurface oceans.
Output: The planet itself is unsuitable for mining, but its largest moon has significant water ice and possible ammonia deposits, making it valuable for future extraction.
3. Input: A tidally locked exoplanet orbiting an M-dwarf, with an icy crust, subsurface ammonia oceans, and a low-density silicate interior. The atmosphere is mostly nitrogen with traces of methane.
Output: Ice mining is viable in the twilight zone, and ammonia extraction is possible. However, strong radiation from the M-dwarf poses logistical challenges.
4. Input: A barren, Mars-sized planet with extensive volcanic activity, no atmosphere, and a crust composed mainly of basalt. It orbits a G-type star in a stable system.
Output: Rich in basaltic minerals and possible deep nickel deposits, but extreme volcanism makes long-term operations difficult.
5. Input: A super-Earth (2.5x Earth’s mass) with a dense atmosphere, rich in sulfur dioxide, orbiting a young and active A-type star. The surface is hot and covered in constant lava flows.
Output: High-temperature conditions allow for surface metal extraction, but mining is extremely hazardous due to volatile geology and radiation from the young star.
6. Input: A low-gravity asteroid-like planet with a porous interior, mainly composed of carbonaceous material, orbiting in a dense asteroid belt of a K-type star system.
Output: Ideal for lightweight mining operations; contains high concentrations of water ice and organic compounds, valuable for space-based industries.
7. Input: A water-rich exoplanet with an atmosphere similar to Earth, a thin silicate crust, and abundant deep-sea hydrothermal vents. It orbits a Sun-like star.
Output: Hydrothermal vents are rich in rare-earth elements and sulfide deposits, making deep-sea mining highly promising.
8. Input: A barren moon orbiting a gas giant in a densely packed globular cluster, with extreme radiation exposure and a surface coated in metallic deposits.
Output: High concentrations of valuable metals like platinum and iridium, but radiation shielding is essential for safe extraction.
9. Input: A frozen planet at the edge of its star’s habitable zone, with thick ice layers, a nitrogen atmosphere, and seasonal sublimation revealing subsurface minerals.
Output: Mining potential lies in the exposed deposits during seasonal thaws, including nitrates and frozen hydrocarbons.
10. Input: A desert planet with a high-silicon crust, minimal atmosphere, and evidence of ancient water activity, orbiting a stable G-type star.
Output: Rich in silicate minerals, including quartz and feldspar, making it valuable for construction and glass manufacturing industries.
11. Input: A massive terrestrial planet (4x Earth’s mass) with a thick, high-pressure nitrogen atmosphere, a dense iron core, and a strong magnetosphere. It orbits a stable K-type star.
Output: High-pressure mining techniques are required, but the strong magnetosphere protects against radiation, making deep-core extraction of iron and nickel feasible.
12. Input: A tidally locked planet with an atmosphere composed of dense sulfuric acid clouds, surface temperatures exceeding 900K, and high volcanic activity.
Output: Rich in heavy metals and sulfur deposits, but extreme heat and corrosive atmosphere make extraction highly challenging.
13. Input: An Earth-sized moon orbiting a brown dwarf, with a thin methane atmosphere, low surface gravity, and significant ice deposits.
Output: Ideal for volatile extraction (methane, ammonia), but low gravity makes operations logistically complex due to weak surface anchoring.
14. Input: A planet with a low-density carbon-rich crust, orbiting a rapidly rotating neutron star. The surface contains massive diamond formations.
Output: Potential for industrial-grade diamond mining, but extreme radiation from the neutron star presents significant hazards.
15. Input: A small iron-rich exoplanet with high gravity (2.3g), no atmosphere, and a surface covered in oxidized metal deposits.
Output: Excellent source of refined iron and hematite, but high gravity requires specialized heavy-lift equipment.
16. Input: A Mars-sized desert planet with a thin CO₂ atmosphere, minor tectonic activity, and subsurface gypsum deposits.
Output: Rich in sulfate minerals, making it valuable for industrial processes, but water scarcity limits sustained operations.
17. Input: A planet orbiting within the habitable zone of a red dwarf, with a highly variable atmosphere, occasional flare-driven storms, and deep underground aquifers.
Output: High potential for water mining, but unstable weather conditions and radiation spikes require shielding solutions.
18. Input: A silicate-dominated world with a thick ozone-rich atmosphere, heavy tectonic movement, and deep fissures exposing valuable ore veins.
Output: High accessibility to deep mineral deposits, but unpredictable seismic activity complicates long-term mining stability.
19. Input: A cold, barren world with weak tectonics, surface covered in metallic meteorite debris, and a stable low-pressure CO₂ atmosphere.
Output: Natural meteorite deposits provide high concentrations of nickel, cobalt, and platinum, making surface mining cost-effective.
20. Input: A rogue planet without a host star, featuring an ultra-cold nitrogen atmosphere, frozen oceans, and possible geothermal hotspots.
Output: Possible deep geothermal energy extraction and ice mining, but extreme isolation increases logistical challenges.
I have 200 such info.
I have 50 test cases, where i know the input, and check if my model is working correctly.
Plan of Action.
1.1 Define the Data Schema
- Inputs (Planetary Data - 16D):
- Mass, composition, star type, system type, atmosphere, tectonics, etc.
- Outputs (Mining Potential - 16D):
- Extractable minerals, logistical difficulty, radiation exposure, etc.
1.2 Database Selection
- Use a vector database for fast retrieval of similar planets.
QUESTION: Which database should I use, to work on HF free tire?
- Store structured data .
QUESTION: Is there a specific Storage Strategy I need to follow?
1.3 Embedding Planetary Descriptions
- Convert textual descriptions into high-dimensional vector embeddings using a model like (ChatGPT tells me):
- Hugging Face’s sentence-transformers (e.g., all-MiniLM-L6-v2)
Question: How to do that, step by step?
Objective: Find relevant past mining cases when a new planet is queried.
2.1 Embedding Search
- When analyzing a new planet, convert its description into a vector and perform a similarity search in the database.
2.2 Context Injection (Retrieval-Augmented Step)
- Retrieve N most similar planets and include their mining outcomes in the model’s prompt/context.
2.3 Hybrid Search Approach (Optional)
- Use metadata filtering (e.g., “show only rocky planets”) combined with vector similarity search.
QUESTION: How to do that using HF?
3.1 Model Choice
- Use an LLM (Large Language Model) with fine-tuning or prompt engineering.
Question: Any Recommendations?
3.2 Fine-Tuning the Model (Optional)
- Train a custom model on labeled planetary cases to improve accuracy.
- Fine-tune a similar model on structured input-output examples.
QUESTION: Any Geo model available?
So as you can see, I want to reinvent as few wheels as possible.
What I need is a step by step guide, such as
- Use Language X
- Import libraries Y, Z, W etc
- Click on Button Alpha to load existing model and enter in textbos beta to get started…
Something like this
I am aware that I am looking for a lot of handholding
But I am relying on kindness of strangers to teach me how to do something like this on HF. If I build this, I will be happy to share my learning process and experiences for others to learn as well.
Thank you.
