Typical supervised feature-based machine learning approaches to flare forecasting rely on descriptors extracted from magnetograms, as from Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) images, and standardized before being used in the training phase of the machine learning pipeline. However, this artificial intelligence (AI) model does not take into account the physical nature of the features and their role in the plasma physics equations. This talk proposes to generate novel features according to simple physics-driven combinations of the original descriptors, and to show whether this original physically explainable AI model leads to a more predictive solar flare forecasting.
