A novel hybrid machine learning model for rapid assessment of wave and storm surge responses over an extended coastal region
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Storm surge and waves are responsible for a substantial portion of tropical and extratropical cyclones-related damages. While high-fidelity numerical models have significantly advanced the simulation accuracy of storm surge and waves, they are not practical to be employed for probabilistic analysis, risk assessment or rapid prediction due to their high computational demands. In this study, a novel hybrid model combining dimensionality reduction and data-driven techniques is developed for rapid assessment of waves and storm surge responses over an extended coastal region. Specifically, the hybrid model simultaneously identifies a low-dimensional representation of the high-dimensional spatial system based on a deep autoencoder (DAE) while mapping the storm parameters to the obtained low-dimensional latent space using a deep neural network (DNN). To train the hybrid model, a combined weighted loss function is designed to encourage a balance between DAE and DNN training and achieve the best accuracy. The performance of the hybrid model is evaluated through a case study using the synthetic data from the North Atlantic Comprehensive Coastal Study (NACCS) covering critical regions within New York and New Jersey. In addition, the proposed approach is compared with two decoupled models where the regression model is based on DNN and the reduction techniques are either principal component analysis (PCA) or DAE which are trained separately from the DNN model. High accuracy and computational efficiency are observed for the hybrid model which could be readily implemented as part of early warning systems or probabilistic risk assessment of waves and storm surge.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
