arXiv:2603.29200v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deep learning-based tropical cyclone (TC) forecasting methods have demonstrated significant potential and application advantages, as they feature much lower computational cost and faster operation speed than numerical weather prediction models. However, existing deep learning methods still have key limitations: they can only process a single type of sequential trajectory data or homogeneous meteorological variables, and fail to achieve accurate forecasting of abnormal deflected TCs. To address these challenges, we present two groundbreaking contributions. First, we have constructed a multimodal and multi-source dataset named AOT-TCs for TC forecasting in the Northwest Pacific basin. As the first dataset of its kind, it innovatively integrates heterogeneous variables from the atmosphere, ocean, and land, thus obtaining a comprehensive and information-rich meteorological dataset. Second, based on the AOT-TCs dataset, we propose a forecasting model that can handle both normal and abnormally deflected TCs. This is the first TC forecasting model to adopt an explicit atmosphere-ocean-terrain coupling architecture, enabling it to effectively capture complex interactions across physical domains. Extensive experiments on all TC cases in the Northwest Pacific from 2017 to 2024 show that our model achieves state-of-the-art performance in TC forecasting: it not only significantly improves the forecasting accuracy of normal TCs but also breaks through the technical bottleneck in forecasting abnormally deflected TCs.

arXiv:2603.30014v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The Production and Distributed Analysis (PanDA) system, originally developed for the ATLAS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC), has evolved into a robust platform for orchestrating large-scale workflows across distributed computing resources. Coupled with its intelligent Distributed Dispatch and Scheduling (iDDS) component, PanDA supports AI/ML-driven workflows through a scalable and flexible workflow engine. We present an AI-assisted framework for detector design optimization that integrates multi-objective Bayesian optimization with the PanDA--iDDS workflow engine to coordinate iterative simulations across heterogeneous resources. The framework addresses the challenge of exploring high-dimensional parameter spaces inherent in modern detector design. We demonstrate the framework using benchmark problems and realistic studies of the ePIC and dRICH detectors for the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC). Results show improved automation, scalability, and efficiency in multi-objective optimization. This work establishes a flexible and extensible paradigm for AI-driven detector design and other computationally intensive scientific applications.
