• Abstract summary: Variational autoencoders allow to learn a lower-dimensional latent space based on high-dimensional input/output data. We propose a physics-enhanced variational autoencoder that places a physical-enhanced Gaussian process prior on the latent dynamics. The benefits of the proposed approach are highlighted in a simulation with an oscillating particle.

• Abstract: Variational autoencoders allow to learn a lower-dimensional latent space based on high-dimensional input/output data. Using video clips as input data, the encoder may be used to describe the movement of an object in the video without ground truth data (unsupervised learning). Even though the object's dynamics is typically based on first principles, this prior knowledge is mostly ignored in the existing literature. Thus, we propose a physics-enhanced variational autoencoder that places a physical-enhanced Gaussian process prior on the latent dynamics to improve the efficiency of the variational autoencoder and to allow physically correct predictions. The physical prior knowledge expressed as linear dynamical system is here reflected by the Green's function and included in the kernel function of the Gaussian process. The benefits of the proposed approach are highlighted in a simulation with an oscillating particle.

  We introduce latent intuitive physics, a transfer learning framework for physics simulation.

We validate our model in three ways: (i) novel scene simulation with the learned visual-world physics, (ii) future prediction of the observed fluid dynamics, and (iii) supervised particle simulation.

  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.
