Newly Developed Artificial Neural Network Set To Quickly Solve A Physics Problem

Weather prediction has gotten substantially better over the course of the past decade, with five-day forecasts now being about 90% accurate. However, one aspect of weather that has long eluded attempts to predict it is lightning. Because lightning is so unpredictable, it's very difficult to minimize the damage it can do to human lives, property, and nature. Thanks to the work of a research team from the EPFL (Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne) School of Engineering, lightning strikes may be much more predictable in the near future. As reported by SciTechDaily, a team of researchers from EPFL' s School of Engineering – Electromagnetic Compatibility Laboratory, recently created an AI program capable of accurately predicting a lightning strike within a period of 10 to 30 minutes away and over a 30-kilometer radius.
