Interpretable vs. noninterpretable machine learning models for data-driven hydro-climatological process modeling

作者:

Highlights:

• Interpretable machine learning is as accurate as deep learning for structured data.

• Explainable machine learning unveils the underlying physical processes.

• Sequential transfer-learning technique effectively imputes continuous missing data.
