Dr. Tallman was an invited participant in the NSF Workshop on Data-driven Modeling and Prediction of Rare and Extreme Events. This workshop brought together experts in rare and extreme event detection and characterization representing a broad range of application domains and disciplines, including statistics, machine learning, applied mathematics, space weather, materials science, and climate modeling. The goal was to identify key challenges and opportunities, with an emphasis on methodologies that may be leveraged across domains. The focus on data-driven methods encompasses recent efforts in machine learning, including physics-informed machine learning and generative models, and how such tools may advance rare and extreme event forecasting.
