New Tech Can Spot Warning Signs of Tremendous Events
Boston, Sep 24 (PTI) MIT scientists developed a new algorithm that can predict tremendous events that are likely to occur in the real world, by spotting instabilities that may affect climate, aircraft performance or ocean circulation. It is nearly impossible to predict when such bursts of instability will strike, particularly in systems with a complex and ever-changing mix of players and pieces. Scientists at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have devised a framework for identifying key patterns that precede an tremendous event. Scientists at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have devised a framework for identifying key patterns that precede an severe event. The framework can be applied to a wide range of complicated, multidimensional systems to pick out the warning signs that are most likely to occur in the real world. “Currently there is no method to explain when these extreme events occur,” said Themistoklis Sapsis, associate professor at MIT.
