Nowcasting of Extreme Precipitation Using Deep Generative Models

Nowcasting is an observation-based method that uses the current state of the atmosphere to forecast future weather conditions over several hours. Recent studies have shown the promising potential of using deep learning models for precipitation nowcasting. In this paper, novel deep generative models are proposed for precipitation nowcasting....

Image Search Engine by Deep Neural Networks

We typically search for images by keywords, e.g., when looking for images of apples, we would enter the word “apple” as query. However, there are limitations. For example, if users input keywords in a specific language, then they may miss results labeled in other languages. Moreover, users may have an image of the object they want to obtain more...

Extreme Precipitation Nowcasting using Deep Generative Models

Extreme precipitation usually leads to substantial impacts. Floods in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany in the summer of 2021 have caused loss of lives, destruction of infrastructures, and long-term effect on economics. To avoid such disasters, it is important to develop a reliable and accurate method to predict heavy rain.
