New SoftSEEPS method improves ML precipitation forecasting

Researchers have developed SoftSEEPS, a differentiable approximation of the SEEPS score, to enhance machine learning models for precipitation forecasting. This new method allows for direct training of ML models by incorporating SoftSEEPS alongside the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) in the objective function. Testing on the IMERG dataset demonstrated that SoftSEEPS can be effectively used to train precipitation forecasting decoders, with only marginal trade-offs when combined with RMSE. AI

IMPACT Introduces a new differentiable scoring method that could enhance the accuracy and training efficiency of ML models for weather prediction.

    SoftSEEPS improves ML-based precipitation forecasting

    arXiv:2610.09752v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this paper we have developed a differentiable approximation of the well-known SEEPS score, which we name SoftSEEPS. This allows the training of a Machine Learning model to forecast precipitation directly. We test SoftSEEPS on the…
