New KPPax tool enables differentiable machine learning for atmospheric chemistry

Researchers have developed KPPax, a new preprocessor that enables the use of atmospheric chemistry mechanisms written in the Kinetic PreProcessor (KPP) language within machine learning frameworks. KPPax generates code that is differentiable, just-in-time compiled, and vectorizable using JAX. This allows for exact sensitivities to be computed through implicit solvers and adjoints from the diffrax library, facilitating parameter estimation and hybrid physics-machine learning modeling in atmospheric chemistry.

    KPPax: preprocess differentiable kinetic ODE for machine learning in atmospheric chemistry

    arXiv:2610.37655v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Atmospheric chemical mechanisms are commonly distributed in the language of the Kinetic PreProcessor (KPP), which generates efficient Fortran or C code but does not fit into the differentiable programming frameworks in which machine…
