little m: An AI Agent for Industrial Process Optimization

The paper introduces little m, an AI agent that helps formulate industrial process control models by combining a domain-specific knowledge repository with LLM-driven interaction. It tackles the challenge of converting messy real-world specifications, including natural language and spatial diagrams, into rigorous mathematical optimization models. The authors also present IPC-Bench, a multimodal dataset of 50 canonical scenarios, and show through automated and human evaluations that little m outperforms state‑of‑the‑art LLMs in generating semantically correct models.

Information fusion and machine learning for sensitivity analysis using physics knowledge and experimental data

The paper explores global sensitivity analysis (GSA) when both physics-based models and experimental data are available, focusing on physics-informed machine learning to improve sensitivity estimates. It evaluates two ML approaches—deep neural networks (DNN) and Gaussian processes (GP)—and two physics integration strategies: physics-constrained loss functions and sequential pre‑training with simulation followed by experimental fine‑tuning. Four models per ML type are constructed, incorporating model uncertainties into Sobol index calculations, and results show DNNs yield tighter sensitivity bounds than GP models, demonstrated on additive manufacturing and lake temperature examples.

Information fusion and machine learning for sensitivity analysis using physics knowledge and experimental data

When computational models (either physics-based or data-driven) are used for the sensitivity analysis of engineering systems, the sensitivity estimate is affected by the accuracy and uncertainty of the model. This paper considers global sensitivity analysis (GSA) for situations where both a physics-based model and experimental observations are available, and investigates physics-informed machine learning strategies to effectively combine the two sources of information in order to maximize the accuracy of the sensitivity estimate.

Physical knowledge on historical data matters more than enforcing physical constraints on the forecast

The paper introduces a Physics Informed Recurrent Neural Network (PIRNN) that simultaneously predicts target time series and unobservable intermediate physical variables, enhancing robustness and interpretability. It adapts to any physical model with multiple equations and variables, demonstrated on groundwater level predictions using the Gardenia model. Experiments on twelve real‑world datasets show PIRNN outperforming several neural network baselines and the Gardenia model, with an ablation study confirming the value of physical knowledge.
