• Abstract: Numerical simulations are ubiquitous in science and engineering. Machine learning for science investigates how artificial neural architectures can learn from these simulations to speed up scientific discovery and engineering processes. Most of these architectures are trained in a supervised manner. They require tremendous amounts of data from simulations that are slow to generate and memory greedy. In this article, we present our ongoing work to design a training framework that alleviates those bottlenecks. It generates data in parallel with the training process. Such simultaneity induces a bias in the data available during the training. We present a strategy to mitigate this bias with a memory buffer. We test our framework on the multi-parametric Lorenz's attractor. We show the benefit of our framework compared to offline training and the success of our data bias mitigation strategy to capture the complex chaotic dynamics of the system.

  We present a method to improve generalization and robustness to distribution shifts in sim-to-real visual quadrotor navigation tasks. We first build a simulator by integrating Gaussian splatting with quadrotor flight dynamics, and then, train robust navigation policies using Liquid neural networks. In this way, we obtain a full-stack imitation learning protocol that combines advances in 3D Gaussian splatting radiance field rendering, programming of expert demonstration training data, and the task understanding capabilities of Liquid networks.

  We present a machine learning-based data generator framework tailored to aid researchers who utilize simulations to examine various physical systems or processes. Our approach involves a two-step process: first, we train a supervised predictive model using a limited simulated dataset to predict simulation outcomes. Subsequently, a reinforcement learning agent is trained to generate accurate, simulation-like data by leveraging the supervised model.
