Challenges and Opportunities

Paper

Difficulties

  • Post-processing of data
    • Costs for specific scenarios and analysis (ex. outliers in rare events)
    • Under-utilization of existing data since it is expensive to process
  • Data quality and quantity

Opportunities

  • Multimodal models: radar, satellite, numerical weather prediction, etc.
  • Interpretable models / explainable AI / causal AI
  • Generizable models
    • can the model predict out of scope?
    • can the model avoid bias and flaws in the training data?
  • Continuous learning: can the model learn from new data?
  • On-device adaptation: customize a model based on local data (ex. adjust to local climate)
  • Federated Learning: each company trains their own model, but they can share their models to improve the overall model. Global model learns from updates from local models.
