• Abstract: Existing active strategies for training surrogate models yield accurate structural reliability estimates by aiming at design space regions in the vicinity of a specified limit state function. In many practical engineering applications, various damage conditions, e.g. repair, failure, should be probabilistically characterized, thus demanding the estimation of multiple performance functions. In this work, we investigate the capability of active learning approaches for efficiently selecting training samples under a limited computational budget while still preserving the accuracy associated with multiple surrogated limit states. Specifically, PC-Kriging-based surrogate models are actively trained considering a variance correction derived from leave-one-out cross-validation error information, whereas the sequential learning scheme relies on U-function-derived metrics. The proposed active learning approaches are tested in a highly nonlinear structural reliability setting, whereas in a more practical application, failure and repair events are stochastically predicted in the aftermath of a ship collision against an offshore wind substructure. The results show that a balanced computational budget administration can be effectively achieved by successively targeting the specified multiple limit state functions within a unified active learning scheme.

  We introduce NCP (Neural Conditional Probability), a novel operator-theoretic approach for learning conditional distributions.

  Model ensembles are effective tools for estimating prediction uncertainty in deep learning atomistic force fields. However, their widespread adoption is hindered by high computational costs and overconfident error estimates. We address these challenges by leveraging distributions of per-sample errors obtained during training and employing a distance-based similarity search in the model latent space. Our method, which we call LTAU, efficiently estimates the full probability distribution function (PDF) of errors for any test point using the logged training errors.

• Failure-averse Active Learning for Physics-constrained Systems [7.701064815584088]
  We develop a novel active learning method that avoids failures considering implicit physics constraints that govern the system. The proposed approach is driven by two tasks: the safe variance reduction explores the safe region to reduce the variance of the target model, and the safe region expansion aims to extend the explorable region exploiting the probabilistic model of constraints. The method is applied to the composite fuselage assembly process with consideration of material failure using the Tsai-wu criterion, and it is able to achieve zero-failure without the knowledge of explicit failure regions.
