The discussion also addresses the practical obstacles to deploying deep learning in operational radar: limited training data, physics consistency, interpretability, and real-time computation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px\"><summary>BibTeX<\/summary>\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>@incollection{gurbuz2023neural,\n  author    = {S.
