description The application of machine learning (ML) algorithms for processing remote sensing data is momentous, particularly for mapping hydrothermal alteration zones associated with porphyry copper deposits. The unsupervised Dirichlet Process (DP) and the supervised Support Vector Machine (SVM) techniques can be executed for mapping hydrothermal alteration zones associated with porphyry copper deposits. The main objective of this investigation is to practice an algorithm that can accurately model the best training data as input for supervised methods such as SVM.
