Improving Weather Prediction in the Himalayas: Automated Machine Learning Approach for Joshimath, Uttarakhand
摘要
This work highlights the significance of minimizing human intervention for precise precipitation forecasting in Joshimath, Uttarakhand, India, a region prone to heavy rainfall, landslides, and seismic activity. The study uses a correlation matrix to identify relationships between climatic variables and precipitation intensity and develops forecasting models with Automated Machine Learning (AutoML), time series transformers (Informer, Autoformer), and nine traditional ML models (Random Forest (RF), XGBoost, Decision Tree, Bagging, AdaBoost, Ridge Regression, K-Nearest Neighbors, Multiple Linear Regression, and Lasso Regression. Leveraging 14 years of data from Visual Crossing, all models’ performance is evaluated using MAE, RMSE, and
