Extreme Low-Visibility Events Prediction Based on Inductive and Evolutionary Decision Rules: An Explicability-Based Approach

In this paper, we propose different explicable forecasting approaches, based on inductive and evolutionary decision rules, for extreme low-visibility events prediction. Explicability of the processes given by the rules is in the core of the proposal. We propose two different methodologies: first, we apply the PRIM algorithm and evolution to obtain induced and evolved rules, and subsequently these rules and boxes of rules are used as a possible simpler alternative to ML/DL classifiers. Second, we propose to integrate the information provided by the induced/evolved rules in the ML/DL techniques, as extra inputs, in order to enrich the complex ML/DL models. Experiments in the prediction of extreme low-visibility events in Northern Spain due to orographic fog show the good performance of the proposed approaches.
