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.

Exploiting Gradients in Bayesian Inference of Expensive Simulators

The paper explores how to use gradients of simulator outputs with respect to input parameters to improve Bayesian inference for expensive simulators. By incorporating gradient information into Gaussian process surrogate models, the authors show that Bayesian optimization can converge faster under a limited simulation budget. They find that reverse‑mode differentiation yields efficiency gains, while forward‑mode does not offset its computational cost, especially when the number of parameters exceeds the output dimensionality.

Compressed Active Subspaces for Scalable Bayesian Inference

The paper introduces Compressed Active Subspaces (CAS), a scalable method for Bayesian inference in high‑dimensional models. CAS first compresses model parameters via a structured isometric embedding, then constructs the active subspace in this reduced space, dramatically lowering memory requirements. Experiments on neural networks of growing size show that CAS preserves predictive performance and provides robust uncertainty estimates while enabling inference where traditional active subspace methods fail.
