• Abstract: Physics modeling is critical for modern science and engineering applications. From data science perspective, physics knowledge -- often expressed as differential equations -- is valuable in that it is highly complementary to data, and can potentially help overcome data sparsity, noise, inaccuracy, etc. In this work, we propose a simple yet powerful framework that can integrate all kinds of differential equations into Gaussian processes (GPs) to enhance prediction accuracy and uncertainty quantification. These equations can be linear, nonlinear, temporal, time-spatial, complete, incomplete with unknown source terms, etc. Specifically, based on kernel differentiation, we construct a GP prior to jointly sample the values of the target function, equation-related derivatives, and latent source functions from a multivariate Gaussian distribution. The sampled values are fed to two likelihoods -- one is to fit the observations and the other to conform to the equation. We use the whitening trick to evade the strong dependency between the sampled function values and kernel parameters, and develop a stochastic variational learning algorithm. Our method shows improvement upon vanilla GPs in both simulation and several real-world applications, even using rough, incomplete equations.

  This paper proposes to embed mechanics-based models into the mean function of a Gaussian Process (GP) model and characterize potential discrepancies through kernel machines. The stationarity of the kernel function is a difficult hurdle in the sequential processing of long data sets, resolved through hierarchical Bayesian techniques. Using numerical and experimental examples, potential applications of the proposed method to structural dynamics inverse problems are demonstrated.

  Diffusion models have recently emerged as a powerful framework for generative modeling. We introduce a mathematically rigorous framework called Denoising Diffusion Operators (DDOs) for training diffusion models in function space. We show that the corresponding discretized algorithm generates accurate samples at a fixed cost independent of the data resolution.

• Physics-informed Information Field Theory for Modeling Physical Systems with Uncertainty Quantification [0.0]
  Information field theory (IFT) provides the tools necessary to perform statistics over fields that are not necessarily Gaussian. We extend IFT to physics-informed IFT (PIFT) by encoding the functional priors with information about the physical laws which describe the field. The posteriors derived from this PIFT remain independent of any numerical scheme and can capture multiple modes. We numerically demonstrate that the method correctly identifies when the physics cannot be trusted, in which case it automatically treats learning the field as a regression problem.

We examine the applicability of continuous, mesh-free neural solvers for partial differential equations, physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) We discuss the accuracy of GatedPINN with respect to analytical solutions -- as well as state-of-the-art numerical solvers, such as spectral solvers.
