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.

Structure-preserving uncertainty quantification for GENERIC dynamics

arXiv:2608. 12624v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Structure-preserving machine learning embeds physical structure directly into model architectures, yet uncertainty quantification (UQ) for such hard-constrained models remains limited because standard UQ methods may violate the encoded admissibility conditions, require architectural modifications, or impose substantial computational costs.

A Zeroth-Order Deep Learning Method for Fully Nonlinear Parabolic Partial Differential Equations with Unknown Coefficients

arXiv:2606. 24999v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: High-dimensional partial differential equations (PDEs) with unknown coefficients arise widely in scientific machine learning, including continuous-time reinforcement learning, yet solving them efficiently in a data-driven way remains challenging.

Enhancing Bayesian Optimization and Active Learning Through Kernel Diversity

The paper introduces KENDO, a unified framework that combines Ensemble Gaussian Processes with disagreement‑aware acquisition strategies to address hyperparameter selection in Bayesian optimization and active learning. By replacing costly hyperparameter sampling with a kernel ensemble and adaptive Bayesian weighting, KENDO‑BO and KENDO‑AL provide self‑correcting mechanisms tailored to their respective tasks. Experiments on synthetic and real‑world benchmarks show that KENDO‑BO matches or outperforms state‑of‑the‑art methods while cutting computational cost up to fivefold, and KENDO‑AL delivers better predictive calibration with up to 27‑times speedup compared to MCMC‑based baselines.
