Contrastive Learning Boosts Deterministic and Generative Models for Weather Data
arXiv:2603.24744v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Weather data, comprising multiple variables, poses significant challenges due to its high dimensionality and multimodal nature. Creating low-dimensional embeddings requires compressing this data into a compact, shared latent space. This compression is required to improve the efficiency and performance of downstream tasks, such as forecasting or extreme-weather detection. Self-supervised learning, particularly contrastive learning, offers a way to generate low-dimensional, robust embeddings from unlabelled data, enabling downstream tasks when labelled data is scarce.
