• Abstract: Most common mechanistic models are traditionally presented in mathematical forms to explain a given physical phenomenon. Machine learning algorithms, on the other hand, provide a mechanism to map the input data to output without explicitly describing the underlying physical process that generated the data. We propose a Data-based Physics Discovery (DPD) framework for automatic discovery of governing equations from observed data. Without a prior definition of the model structure, first a free-form of the equation is discovered, and then calibrated and validated against the available data. In addition to the observed data, the DPD framework can utilize available prior physical models, and domain expert feedback. When prior models are available, the DPD framework can discover an additive or multiplicative correction term represented symbolically. The correction term can be a function of the existing input variable to the prior model, or a newly introduced variable. In case a prior model is not available, the DPD framework discovers a new data-based standalone model governing the observations. We demonstrate the performance of the proposed framework on a real-world application in the aerospace industry.

• No Equations Needed: Learning System Dynamics Without Relying on Closed-Form ODEs [56.78271181959529]
  This paper proposes a conceptual shift to modeling low-dimensional dynamical systems by departing from the traditional two-step modeling process. Instead of first discovering a closed-form equation and then analyzing it, our approach, direct semantic modeling, predicts the semantic representation of the dynamical system. Our approach not only simplifies the modeling pipeline but also enhances the transparency and flexibility of the resulting models.

  We introduce a causal modeling framework that captures the input-output behavior of predictive models. The framework enables us to define and identify features that directly cause the predictions. We show two assumptions under which the direct causes can be discovered from data, one of which further simplifies the discovery process.

  We develop a physics-informed dynamical variational autoencoder ($Phi$-DVAE) to embed diverse data streams into time-evolving physical systems. Our approach combines a standard, possibly nonlinear, filter for the latent state-space model and a VAE, to assimilate the unstructured data into the latent dynamical system. A variational Bayesian framework is used for the joint estimation of the encoding, latent states, and unknown system parameters.

In MEDIDA, first the model error is estimated from differences between the observed states and model-predicted states. If observations are noisy, a data assimilation technique such as ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) is first used to provide a noise-free analysis state of the system. Finally, an equation-discovery technique, such as the relevance vector machine (RVM), a sparsity-promoting Bayesian method, is used to identify an interpretable, parsimonious, closed
