# GraphMet: Learning Spectral Compositional Koopman Operators for Global-to-Regional Weather Forecasting [![NeurIPS 2026](https://img.shields.io/badge/NeurIPS-2026%20Accepted-blue)](https://neurips.cc/) ![Code Release](https://img.shields.io/badge/Code-Coming%20Soon-orange) ![License](https://img.shields.io/badge/License-CC%20BY--NC%204.0-green) **🎉 Accepted at NeurIPS 2026!** We are excited to announce that our paper, **"GraphMet: Learning Spectral Compositional Koopman Operators for Global-to-Regional Weather Forecasting,"** has been accepted to the **Thirty-Ninth Annual Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS 2026)**. GraphMet introduces a spectral Koopman-based framework for global-to-regional weather forecasting, replacing deep message-passing processors with a lightweight, structured linear operator to better preserve fine-scale atmospheric variability over long forecast horizons. ### Code Release — Coming Soon **The GraphMet-R implementation will be publicly released in the coming days.** The release will include: - Pretraining regional fine-tuning pipelines. - Deterministic and probabilistic forecasting workflows. - Evaluation scripts and benchmark configurations. - Documentation and reproducibility instructions. ### Key Highlights - **32% reduction** in the 15-day activity deficit compared with GraphCast. - **11–14% improvement** in regional RMSE at 5.5 km resolution. - **~14× lower inference cost** compared with diffusion-based probabilistic forecasting baselines. - **14,336-parameter Koopman processor** replacing a 16-layer message-passing architecture. - **Analytic probabilistic forecasting** without expensive diffusion sampling. ### Citation The official BibTeX citation will be added following publication of the NeurIPS 2026 proceedings. ### License This code is licensed under **CC BY-NC 4.0**. --- license: cc-by-nc-4.0 ---
