• Abstract summary: Kinetic models are used to test the effect of operating conditions, fuel composition and combustor design compared to physical experiments. We propose a novel data orientated three-step methodology to produce compact models that replicate a target set of detailed model properties to a high fidelity. The strategy is demonstrated through the production of a 19 species and a 15 species compact model for methane/air combustion.

• Abstract: Accurate low dimension chemical kinetic models for methane are an essential component in the design of efficient gas turbine combustors. Kinetic models coupled to computational fluid dynamics (CFD) provide quick and efficient ways to test the effect of operating conditions, fuel composition and combustor design compared to physical experiments. However, detailed chemical kinetic models are too computationally expensive for use in CFD. We propose a novel data orientated three-step methodology to produce compact models that replicate a target set of detailed model properties to a high fidelity. In the first step, a reduced kinetic model is obtained by removing all non-essential species from the detailed model containing 118 species using path flux analysis (PFA). It is then numerically optimised to replicate the detailed model's prediction in two rounds; First, to selected species (OH,H,CO and CH4) profiles in perfectly stirred reactor (PSR) simulations and then re-optimised to the detailed model's prediction of the laminar flame speed. This is implemented by a purposely developed Machine Learned Optimisation of Chemical Kinetics (MLOCK) algorithm. The MLOCK algorithm systematically perturbs all three Arrhenius parameters for selected reactions and assesses the suitability of the new parameters through an objective error function which quantifies the error in the compact model's calculation of the optimisation target. This strategy is demonstrated through the production of a 19 species and a 15 species compact model for methane/air combustion. Both compact models are validated across a range of 0D and 1D calculations across both lean and rich conditions and shows good agreement to the parent detailed mechanism. The 15 species model is shown to outperform the current state-of-art models in both accuracy and range of conditions the model is valid over.

  This work explores the challenging problem of molecule design by framing it as a conditional generative modeling task. We propose a novel generative model comprising three components: (1) a latent vector with a learnable prior distribution; (2) a molecule generation model based on a causal Transformer, which uses the latent vector as a prompt; and (3) a property prediction model that predicts a molecule's target properties and/or constraint values using the latent prompt.

• A Three-regime Model of Network Pruning [47.92525418773768]
  We use temperature-like and load-like parameters to model the impact of neural network (NN) training hyper parameters on pruning performance. A key empirical result we identify is a sharp transition phenomenon: depending on the value of a load-like parameter in the pruned model, increasing the value of a temperature-like parameter in the pre-pruned model may either enhance or impair subsequent pruning performance. Our model reveals that the dichotomous effect of high temperature is associated with transitions between distinct types of global structures in the post-pruned model.
