Machine learning technology boosts analog weather forecasting

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Machine learning technology that can recognize human faces may also help to improve weather forecasts, according to a team of scientists.

“The idea behind this work comes from Google’s FaceNet, but instead of comparing your picture to images of faces in a database, we are comparing weather to historical forecasts,” said Weiming Hu, a machine learning scientist at the University of San Diego and a former doctoral student at Penn State.
