Investigation of a transformer-based hybrid artificial neural networks for climate data prediction and analysis by Shangke Liu, Ke Liu, Zheng Wang, Yuanyuan Liu, Bin Bai, Rui Zhao

“…Traditional climate prediction models largely rely on the simulation of physical processes. While they have achieved some success, these models still face issues such as complexity, high computational cost, and insufficient handling of multivariable nonlinear relationships.MethodsIn light of this, this paper proposes a hybrid deep learning model based on Transformer-Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)-Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) to improve the accuracy of climate predictions. …”
