Researchers propose new training methods to improve probabilistic forecast calibration for extreme events

Researchers have developed new methods to improve the calibration of probabilistic forecast models, particularly for extreme events. The study focuses on adapting loss functions during model training, using weighted scoring rules and a measure of tail miscalibration. Experiments with UK wind speed data showed that existing state-of-the-art models struggle with calibrated forecasts for extreme conditions, but the proposed adaptations can enhance reliability, albeit with a trade-off for common outcomes.
