Iowa State University: Chasing storm data: machine learning looks for useful data in U.S. thunderstorm reports. “When [Bill] Gallus heard campus colleagues from Iowa State’s Theoretical and Applied Data Science research group talk about machine learning, he thought the technology’s data analysis capabilities could help him study and analyze the Storm Reports database. Maybe the computers could find relationships or connections in the reports that could lead to new forecasting tools? Well, not so fast, said scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).”
