How Google's DeepMind tool is 'more quickly' forecasting hurricane behavior

The Guardian

How Google's DeepMind tool is'more quickly' forecasting hurricane behavior'Less expensive and time consuming' model helps with fast and accurate predictions, possibly saving lives and property When then Tropical Storm Melissa was churning south of Haiti, Philippe Papin, a National Hurricane Center (NHC) meteorologist, had confidence it was about to grow into a monster hurricane. As the lead forecaster on duty, he predicted that in just 24 hours the storm would become a category 4 hurricane and begin a turn towards the coast of Jamaica. No NHC forecaster had ever issued such a bold forecast for rapid strengthening. But Papin had an ace up his sleeve: artificial intelligence in the form of Google's new DeepMind hurricane model - released for the first time in June. And, as predicted, Melissa did become a storm of astonishing strength that tore through Jamaica.

A Closed form expressions for the robust risks

Neural Information Processing Systems

In Section A.1 and A.2 we derive closed-form expressions of the standard and robust risks from We first prove Equation (13). We now prove the second part of the statement. In this section we provide additional details on our experiments. B.1 Neural networks on sanitized binary MNIST If not mentioned otherwise, we use noiseless i.i.d. C.1 we give an intuitive explantion for the robust overfitting phenomenon described in C.2 we discuss how inconsistent adversarial training prevents We now shed light on the phenomena revealed by Theorem 3.1 and Figure 2. In particular, we In this section we further discuss robust logistic regression studied in Section 4. As observed in Section 4.4, label noise can prevent interpolation and hence improve the robust risk Hence, inconsistent training perturbations can induce spurious regularization effects.
