The earth system is exceedingly complex and often chaotic in nature, making prediction incredibly challenging: we cannot expect to make perfect predictions all of the time. Instead, we look for specific states of the system that lead to more predictable behavior than others, often termed forecasts of opportunity. When these opportunities are not present, scientists need prediction systems that are capable of saying I dont know. We introduce a novel loss function, termed the NotWrong loss, that allows neural networks to identify forecasts of opportunity for classification problems. The NotWrong loss introduces an abstention class that allows the network to identify the more confident samples and abstain (say I dont know) on the less confident samples. The abstention loss is designed to abstain on a user-defined fraction of the samples via a PID controller. Unlike many machine learning methods used to reject samples post-training, the NotWrong loss is applied during training to preferentially learn from the more confident samples. We show that the NotWrong loss outperforms other existing loss functions for multiple climate use cases. The implementation of the proposed loss function is straightforward in most network architectures designed for classification as it only requires the addition of an abstention class to the output layer and modification of the loss function.

ble behavior than others, often termed forecasts of opportunity. When these opportunities are not present, scientists need prediction systems that are capable of saying I dont know. We introduce a novel loss function, termed abstention loss, that allows neural networks to identify forecasts of opportunity for regression problems. The abstention loss works by incorporating uncertainty in the networks prediction to identify the more confident samples and abstain (say I dont know) on the less confident samples. The abstention loss is designed to determine the optimal abstention fraction, or abstain on a user-defined fraction via a PID controller. Unlike many methods for attaching uncertainty to neural network predictions post-training, the abstention loss is applied during training to preferentially learn from the more confident samples. The abstention loss is built upon a standard computer science method. While the standard approach is itself a simple yet powerful tool for incorporating uncertainty in regression problems, we demonstrate that the abstention loss outperforms this more standard method for the synthetic climate use cases explored here. The implementation of proposed loss function is straightforward in most network architectures designed for regression, as it only requires modification of the output layer and loss function.
The atmosphere is chaotic. This fundamental property of the climate system makes forecasting weather incredibly challenging: its impossible to expect weather models to ever provide perfect predictions of the Earth system beyond timescales of approxim
ately 2 weeks. Instead, atmospheric scientists look for specific states of the climate system that lead to more predictable behaviour than others. Here, we demonstrate how neural networks can be used, not only to leverage these states to make skillful predictions, but moreover to identify the climatic conditions that lead to enhanced predictability. Furthermore, we employ a neural network interpretability method called ``layer-wise relevance propagation to create heatmaps of the regions in the input most relevant for a networks output. For Earth scientists, these relevant regions for the neural networks prediction are by far the most important product of our study: they provide scientific insight into the physical mechanisms that lead to enhanced weather predictability. While we demonstrate our approach for the atmospheric science domain, this methodology is applicable to a large range of geoscientific problems.
Eigenvalue problems are critical to several fields of science and engineering. We present a novel unsupervised neural network for discovering eigenfunctions and eigenvalues for differential eigenvalue problems with solutions that identically satisfy
the boundary conditions. A scanning mechanism is embedded allowing the method to find an arbitrary number of solutions. The network optimization is data-free and depends solely on the predictions. The unsupervised method is used to solve the quantum infinite well and quantum oscillator eigenvalue problems.
Deep neural networks (DNNs) have become increasingly popular and achieved outstanding performance in predictive tasks. However, the DNN framework itself cannot inform the user which features are more or less relevant for making the prediction, which
limits its applicability in many scientific fields. We introduce neural Gaussian mirrors (NGMs), in which mirrored features are created, via a structured perturbation based on a kernel-based conditional dependence measure, to help evaluate feature importance. We design two modifications of the DNN architecture for incorporating mirrored features and providing mirror statistics to measure feature importance. As shown in simulated and real data examples, the proposed method controls the feature selection error rate at a predefined level and maintains a high selection power even with the presence of highly correlated features.
We introduce a convolutional recurrent neural network (CRNN) for music tagging. CRNNs take advantage of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for local feature extraction and recurrent neural networks for temporal summarisation of the extracted featur
es. We compare CRNN with three CNN structures that have been used for music tagging while controlling the number of parameters with respect to their performance and training time per sample. Overall, we found that CRNNs show a strong performance with respect to the number of parameter and training time, indicating the effectiveness of its hybrid structure in music feature extraction and feature summarisation.
