Researchers have developed a machine learning surrogate model to predict cascading failures in interdependent power and communication networks. This model uses gradient boosting to achieve high correlation with a high-fidelity simulator, enabling rapid ranking of critical components for infrastructure hardening. The surrogate model's effectiveness is driven by its ability to incorporate inter-layer dependency information, outperforming traditional topological centrality measures. AI
