Advanced Machine Learning and Data Mining

Anthropogenic global warming has triggered potentially dangerous shifts in climate and ocean systems, leading to more severe and frequent climate extremes.
To minimize the potential damage from these extremes in a warming climate, we should enhance our predictive capabilities through the development of innovative data-mining techniques.
In our research, we pioneer new data-mining methods, including supervised dimensionality reduction coupled with machine learning techniques, to improve the predictability of hydro-climate extremes in the context of statistical downscaling and predictions.
