Clouds make the weather, yet their detail isn't taken into account in weather forecasts. Artificial intelligence might be able to help.
Predicting the weather is hard. With more data and computing power becoming available, artificial intelligence can help.
How does your phone know what the weather's going to be like?

If, for example, I was in an ongoing dispute with a troublesome, anti-social neighbour, where it is best if we both cooperate:
would this be a valid matrix? -
I assign points as follows.
I cooperate: +1 for him
I defect: -1 for him
He cooperates: +1 for me
He defects: -1 for me
number pairs in this form: me/him
He cooperates He defects
I cooperate +1/+1 -1/+1
I defect +1/-1 -1/-1
which would make, if we wish:
TOTALS
He cooperates He defects
I cooperate 2 0
I defect 0 -2
What do you think? I would value a mathematician's opinion.
Thank you,
