Active learning for data-driven reduced models of parametric differential systems with Bayesian operator inference

The paper presents an active learning framework that enhances data-driven reduced-order models (ROMs) for parametric dynamical systems by intelligently selecting training parameters. Using a Bayesian linear regression version of operator inference, the method quantifies prediction uncertainty to guide sequential adaptive sampling, aiming to improve ROM stability and accuracy across the parameter domain. Numerical experiments on nonlinear PDE systems show that this adaptive strategy outperforms random sampling under the same computational budget.

Estimating Parameter Fields in Multi-Physics PDEs from Scarce Measurements

The paper introduces Neptune, a method that uses independent coordinate neural networks to infer parameter fields in multi-physics PDEs from sparse measurements. Neptune can accurately estimate parameters with nonlinear, spatiotemporal variations, outperforming existing techniques by reducing estimation errors by up to two orders of magnitude and improving dynamic response predictions by a factor of ten. It also demonstrates strong physical extrapolation, enabling reliable predictions beyond the training data.
