Fig. 2 Schematic representation of supervised learning, with the feature space X and the target space Y . The aim is to define or learn mappings f and g between the two spaces by taking advantage of the information encoded in the pairwise relations were known in advance for a specific sample of the two spaces. 
Fig. 10 Space Weather HMI Active Region Patches (SHARPs) identified by a computer tracking algorithm. In this image, two SHARPs have been identified and are marked by rectangular bounding boxes. 
Fig. 9 SPectral classifications of an IBIS observation, where the color bar relates to the spectral shape classified, with ‘0’ and ‘4’ representing pure absorption and emission profiles, respectively. The umbra/penumbra boundary is highlighted using a black contour (from MacBride et al., 2021) 
Table 1 Contingency table for binary classification. We denote TP, TN, FP and FN as the number of true positives, true negatives, false positives and false negatives, respectively. 
Table 2 Evaluation metrics for binary classification. Refer to Table 1 for the definition of classes. In the definition for the Gilbert Skill Score, CH (chance hits) is the Accuracy for a random forecast model. The probability that a random forecast outputs a positive is uncorrelated with the underlying probability of the event. Hence, the joint probability for the Accuracy can be factored, giving CH = P(Forecast : Yes)×P(Event : Yes) = (TP+FP) 
Fig. 4 Building block of a fully-connected neural network. Each input of the previous layer is connected to each neuron of the output. Each connection is represented by different lines where the width is proportional to the absolute value of the weight. Solid lines represent positive weights while dashed lines refer to negative weights.

An Improved Prediction of Solar Cycles 25 and 26 Using the Informer Model: Gnevyshev Peaks and North–South Asymmetry
Jie Cao,Tingting Xu,Linhua Deng,Xueliang Zhou,Shangxi Li,Y B Liu,Wen-hua Wang,Weihong Zhou +7 more
TL;DR: This study uses the Informer model to predict Solar Cycles 25 and 26, forecasting weak-moderate cycles with stronger amplitudes than Cycle 24, and significant north-south asymmetry, with the southern hemisphere exhibiting stronger activity during Cycle 25.

Deep Residual Learning for Image Recognition
TL;DR: This work presents a residual learning framework to ease the training of networks that are substantially deeper than those used previously, and provides comprehensive empirical evidence showing that these residual networks are easier to optimize, and can gain accuracy from considerably increased depth.

- 04 Sep 2014
TL;DR: This work investigates the effect of the convolutional network depth on its accuracy in the large-scale image recognition setting using an architecture with very small convolution filters, which shows that a significant improvement on the prior-art configurations can be achieved by pushing the depth to 16-19 weight layers.

Long short-term memory
TL;DR: A novel, efficient, gradient based method called long short-term memory (LSTM) is introduced, which can learn to bridge minimal time lags in excess of 1000 discrete-time steps by enforcing constant error flow through constant error carousels within special units.
