• Abstract: Nudging is an empirical data assimilation technique that incorporates an observation-driven control term into the model dynamics. The trajectory of the nudged system approaches the true system trajectory over time, even when the initial conditions differ. For linear state space models, such control terms can be derived under mild assumptions. However, designing effective nudging terms becomes significantly more challenging in the nonlinear setting. In this work, we propose neural network nudging, a data-driven method for learning nudging terms in nonlinear state space models. We establish a theoretical existence result based on the Kazantzis--Kravaris--Luenberger observer theory. The proposed approach is evaluated on three benchmark problems that exhibit chaotic behavior: the Lorenz 96 model, the Kuramoto--Sivashinsky equation, and the Kolmogorov flow.

• Learning Neural Constitutive Laws From Motion Observations for Generalizable PDE Dynamics [97.38308257547186]
  Many NN approaches learn an end-to-end model that implicitly models both the governing PDE and material models. We argue that the governing PDEs are often well-known and should be explicitly enforced rather than learned. We introduce a new framework termed "Neural Constitutive Laws" (NCLaw) which utilizes a network architecture that strictly guarantees standard priors.

  Methods for erasing human-interpretable concepts from neural representations that assume linearity have been found to be tractable and useful. This work formally defines the notion of log-linear guardedness as the inability of an adversary to predict the concept directly from the representation. We show that, in the binary case, under certain assumptions, a downstream log-linear model cannot recover the erased concept.
