Scientific AI's 'black box' is no match for 200-year-old method
One of the oldest tools in computational physics — a 200-year-old mathematical technique known as Fourier analysis — can reveal crucial information about how a form of artificial intelligence called a deep neural network learns to perform tasks involving complex physics like climate and turbulence modeling, according to a new study. "This is the first rigorous framework to explain and guide the use of deep neural networks for complex dynamical systems such as climate," said study corresponding author Pedram Hassanzadeh.
