Lester Mackey (Microsoft Research) announced a Nature publication co-authored with Hannah Guan, Soukayna Mouatadid, Paulo Orenstein, Jakob Schloer and roughly a dozen other collaborators — the culmination, per co-author judah47, of a decade of teamwork with Mackey and his students.
The post itself is a brief announcement without technical details; Mackey's group is known for statistical machine learning applied to climate and weather forecasting. See the linked Nature paper for specifics.
