Researchers have developed Hurdle-RMIL, a novel approach to improve the accuracy of infrared rainfall retrieval from satellite data. This method specifically addresses the challenge of imbalanced datasets, where rare but intense rainfall events are often underestimated. By separating zero inflation from the long-tailed distribution of rain data, Hurdle-RMIL enhances the detection of high-intensity rainfall without significantly compromising accuracy for lower rainfall rates. Tests conducted in China demonstrated that Hurdle-RMIL outperforms conventional learning methods, yielding a higher equitable threat score, particularly for extreme rainfall events. AI
