Multi-time-scale input approaches for hourly-scale rainfall–runoff modeling based on recurrent neural networks

This study proposes two effective approaches to reduce the required computational time of the training process for time-series modeling through a recurrent neural network (RNN) using multi-time-scale time-series data as input. One approach provides coarse and fine temporal resolutions of the input t...
