~85%Prediction accuracy
01Problem
Solar activity disrupts satellites, communications and power grids, and it is notoriously hard to forecast.
02Build
Feature engineering on observatory and satellite records, then time-series and ensemble models compared and tuned against each other.
03Outcome
Around 85% prediction accuracy, presented at the university symposium.
