Deep Learning models are recently receiving a large attention because of their very powerful modeling abilities, particularly on inputs that have a intrinsic one-or twodimensional structure that can be captured and exploited by convolutional layers. In this work we will apply Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) in two problems, wind energy and daily solar radiation prediction, whose inputs, derived from Numerical Weather Prediction systems, have a clear spatial structure. As we shall see, the predictions of single deep models and, more so, of DNN ensembles can improve on those of Support Vector Regression, a Machine Learning method that can be considered the state of the art for regression.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
