用极端值理论增强图神经网络,提升高温预警准确性

Advancing Heatwave Forecasting via Distribution Informed-Graph Neural Networks (DI-GNNs): Integrating Extreme Value Theory with GNNs

  • 将极值理论的分布特征融入图神经网络的特征、连接和损失函数
  • 在加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省数据上,召回率与精确率显著优于基线模型
  • 特别适合处理罕见极端天气事件,对气候预测研究者有参考价值

热浪是由于气候变化导致频率和强度加剧的持续极端高温现象,对公共健康、生态系统和基础设施构成重大威胁。尽管机器学习模型有所进展,但在1至15天的气象尺度上准确预测热浪仍具挑战性,主要源于大气驱动因素间的非线性交互以及极端事件的稀有性。传统依赖启发式特征工程的模型往往难以跨不同气候区泛化,且无法捕捉热浪动态的复杂性。本研究提出分布感知图神经网络(DI-GNN),将极值理论(EVT)原理融入图神经网络架构。DI-GNN在特征空间、邻接矩阵和损失函数中引入广义帕累托分布(GPD)衍生的描述符,增强对罕见热浪事件的敏感性。通过聚焦气候分布的尾部,DI-GNN克服了现有方法在数据不平衡情况下的局限性,此时传统指标如准确率会误导。基于加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省气象站数据的实证评估显示,与基准模型相比,DI-GNN在平衡准确率、召回率和精确率方面均有显著提升,且具有高AUC和平均精度得分,表明其在区分热浪事件方面具备强鲁棒性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Heatwaves, prolonged periods of extreme heat, have intensified in frequency and severity due to climate change, posing substantial risks to public health, ecosystems, and infrastructure. Despite advancements in Machine Learning (ML) modeling, accurate heatwave forecasting at weather scales (1--15 days) remains challenging due to the non-linear interactions between atmospheric drivers and the rarity of these extreme events. Traditional models relying on heuristic feature engineering often fail to generalize across diverse climates and capture the complexities of heatwave dynamics. This study introduces the Distribution-Informed Graph Neural Network (DI-GNN), a novel framework that integrates principles from Extreme Value Theory (EVT) into the graph neural network architecture. DI-GNN incorporates Generalized Pareto Distribution (GPD)-derived descriptors into the feature space, adjacency matrix, and loss function to enhance its sensitivity to rare heatwave occurrences. By prioritizing the tails of climatic distributions, DI-GNN addresses the limitations of existing methods, particularly in imbalanced datasets where traditional metrics like accuracy are misleading. Empirical evaluations using weather station data from British Columbia, Canada, demonstrate the superior performance of DI-GNN compared to baseline models. DI-GNN achieved significant improvements in balanced accuracy, recall, and precision, with high AUC and average precision scores, reflecting its robustness in distinguishing heatwave events.
