Excited to announce that our paper “Solaris: A Foundation Model for the Sun” has been accepted to the Foundation Models for Science workshop at NeurIPS 2024! 🌞
We’ve developed Solaris, the first foundation model to forecast the Sun’s atmosphere. By leveraging 13 years of full-disk, multi-wavelength solar imagery from the Solar Dynamics Observatory—spanning an entire solar cycle—we’ve pre-trained Solaris to make 12-hour interval forecasts. This is a significant step towards capturing the complex dynamics of the solar atmosphere and transforming solar forecasting. Can’t wait to share more at the conference!
Huge contratulations to my students and main contributors Harris Abdul Majid and Pietro Sittoni!
