Harnessing Instability Mechanisms in Airfoil Flow for Data-Driven Forecasting of Extreme Events by Barthel, Benedikt, Sapsis, Themistoklis P.

“…We propose a preprocessing algorithm to extract this extreme event frequency from the surface pressure data, which in conjunction with an extreme event-tailored loss function, allows us to avoid the commonly used long short-term memory architecture in favor of a simple feed-forward network—a significant reduction in cost over the previous state-of-the-art. …”
