Learning Control-Affine Reduced-Order Models via Autoencoders

We present in this paper a framework for the identification of control-affine reduced-order models (ROMs). The proposed method utilizes autoencoders (AEs) to transform the high-dimensional states, and potentially the high-dimensional inputs, into reduced latent ones suitable for control-affine state-space dynamics.

Bridging Control, Inference, Transport, and Thermodynamics: From Theory to Applications in Learning

The review explores how control theory, optimal transport, probabilistic inference, non‑equilibrium thermodynamics, and machine learning are interconnected through the optimization of free‑energy‑like functionals under dynamical or statistical constraints. It presents a conceptual thread linking these five fields and illustrates the ideas with applications in reinforcement learning, variational inference, and generative modeling. The article is written for readers without prior familiarity, beginning with physics principles.

COMPOL: A Unified Neural Operator Framework for Scalable Multi-Physics Simulations

arXiv:2501. 17296v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Multiphysics simulations play an essential role in accurately modeling complex interactions across diverse scientific and engineering domains Although neural operators especially the Fourier Neural Operator FNO have significantly improved computational efficiency they often fail to effectively capture intricate correlations inherent in coupled physical processes To address this limitation we introduce COMPOL a novel coupled multiphysics operator learning framework COMPOL extends conventional operator architectures by incorporating sophisticated recurrent and attentionbased aggregation mechanisms effectively modeling interdependencies among interacting physical processes within latent feature spaces Our approach is architectureagnostic and seamlessly integrates into various neural operator frameworks that involve latent space transformations Extensive experiments on diverse benchmarksincluding biological reactiondiffusion systems patternforming chemical reactions multiphase geological flows and thermohydromechanical processes demonstrate that COMPOL consistently achieves superior predictive accuracy compared to stateoftheart methods.
