Researchers have developed TailBooster, a novel dual-layer generative framework designed to improve machine learning models by augmenting data with extreme event examples. This framework addresses the limitations of conventional methods, which often under-represent rare events and can generate operationally infeasible data. TailBooster combines statistical extraction of extreme values with an autoencoder-based cleaning layer to ensure synthetic data is both representative of tails and adheres to operational constraints. Evaluations on US flight records demonstrated significant improvements in predicting extreme air times and arrival delays, reducing Mean Absolute Error by up to 57%. AI
