Deep learning rainfall–runoff predictions of extreme events [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2021 Abstract. The most accurate rainfall–runoff predictions are currently based on deep learning. There is a concern among hydrologists that the predictive accuracy of data-driven models based on deep learning may not be reliable in extrapolation or for predicting extreme events. This study tests that hypothesis using long short-term memory (LSTM) networks
