Here we propose a novel differentiable parameter learning (dPL) framework that efficiently learns a global mapping between inputs +(and optionally responses) and parameters. Crucially, dPL exhibits beneficial scaling curves not previously demonstrated to geoscientists: as training data increases, +dPL achieves better performance, more physical coherence, and better generalizability (across space and uncalibrated variables), all with orders-of-magnitude lower +computational cost. We demonstrate examples that learned from soil moisture and streamflow, where dPL drastically outperformed existing evolutionary and regionalization +methods, or required only ~12.5% of the training data to achieve similar performance. The generic scheme promotes the integration of deep learning and process-based models, +without mandating reimplementation. + +## Bibtex Citation + +```bibtex +@article{Tsai_2021, + title={From calibration to parameter learning: Harnessing the scaling effects of big data in geoscientific modeling}, + volume={12}, + ISSN={2041-1723}, + url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41467-021-26107-z}, + DOI={10.1038/s41467-021-26107-z}, + number={1}, + journal={Nature Communications}, + publisher={Springer Science and Business Media LLC}, + author={Tsai, Wen-Ping and Feng, Dapeng and Pan, Ming and Beck, Hylke and Lawson, Kathryn and Yang, Yuan and Liu, Jiangtao and Shen, Chaopeng}, + year={2021}, + month=oct } +```
