With the large amount of\ndata gathered on these phenomena the data intensive paradigm could begin to\nchallenge more traditional approaches elaborated over the years in fields like\nmaths or physics. However, despite considerable successes in a variety of\napplication domains, the machine learning field is not yet ready to handle the\nlevel of complexity required by such problems. Using an example application,\nnamely Sea Surface Temperature Prediction, we show how general background\nknowledge gained from physics could be used as a guideline for designing\nefficient Deep Learning models. In order to motivate the approach and to assess\nits generality we demonstrate a formal link between the solution of a class of\ndifferential equations underlying a large family of physical phenomena and the\nproposed model. Experiments and comparison with series of baselines including a\nstate of the art numerical approach is then provided.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1711.07970v2","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1711.07970v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"deep-learning-for-physical-processes","repo_url":"https://github.com/emited/flow","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"pytorch","reach":{"status":"unanswered"}},{"paper_slug":"deep-learning-for-physical-processes","repo_url":"https://github.com/AthanasiosRaptakis/Deep-Learning-for-Physical-Processes","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"pytorch","reach":{"status":"unanswered"}}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"deep-learning","task_name":"Deep Learning"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=1711.07970","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
