• Abstract summary: We propose an Asymmetric Receptive Field Autoencoder (ARFA) model, which introduces corresponding sizes of receptive field modules. In the encoder, we present large kernel module for globaltemporal feature extraction. In the decoder, we develop a small kernel module for localtemporal reconstruction. We construct the RainBench, a large-scale radar echo dataset for precipitation prediction, to address the scarcity of meteorological data in the domain.

• Abstract: Spatiotemporal prediction aims to generate future sequences by paradigms learned from historical contexts. It is essential in numerous domains, such as traffic flow prediction and weather forecasting. Recently, research in this field has been predominantly driven by deep neural networks based on autoencoder architectures. However, existing methods commonly adopt autoencoder architectures with identical receptive field sizes. To address this issue, we propose an Asymmetric Receptive Field Autoencoder (ARFA) model, which introduces corresponding sizes of receptive field modules tailored to the distinct functionalities of the encoder and decoder. In the encoder, we present a large kernel module for global spatiotemporal feature extraction. In the decoder, we develop a small kernel module for local spatiotemporal information reconstruction. Experimental results demonstrate that ARFA consistently achieves state-of-the-art performance on popular datasets. Additionally, we construct the RainBench, a large-scale radar echo dataset for precipitation prediction, to address the scarcity of meteorological data in the domain.

  This paper proposes a physics-AI hybrid model (i.e., WeatherGFT) which Generalizes weather forecasts to Finer-grained Temporal scales. Specifically, we employ a carefully designed PDE kernel to simulate physical evolution on a small time scale. We introduce a lead time-aware training framework to promote the generalization of the model at different lead times.

  In meteorology, finding similar weather patterns or analogs in historical datasets can be useful for data assimilation, forecasting, and postprocessing. In climate science, analogs in historical and climate projection data are used for attribution and impact studies. We propose a dimension reduction technique based on autoencoder (AE) neural networks to compress those datasets and perform the search in an interpretable, compressed latent space.

  We propose a forecasting architecture that combines deep autoregressive models with a Spectral Attention (SA) module. By characterizing in the spectral domain the embedding of the time series as occurrences of a random process, our method can identify global trends and seasonality patterns. Two spectral attention models, global and local to the time series, integrate this information within the forecast and perform spectral filtering to remove time series's noise.
