Adapting Transformer Encoder Architecture for Continuous Weather Datasets with Applications in Agriculture, Epidemiology and Climate Science

This work introduces WeatherFormer, a transformer encoder-based model designed to robustly represent weather data from minimal observations. It addresses the challenge of modeling complex weather dynamics from small datasets, which is a bottleneck for many prediction tasks in agriculture, epidemiolo...
