Parameterization Is Distillation
Article summary
Quick briefing — cleaned from the original RSS feed
Climate modeling and AI compression are one engineering move with two names: replace an expensive process with a cheap function fit to its behavior, and inherit the consequences of what you threw away. One field has been living with the failure modes for fifty years. In November 2020, a team of climate scientists published a result that should be pinned above the desk of everyone who has ever shipped a compressed model. Brenowitz and colleagues had trained two machine-learning emulators to…
