• Abstract: Accurate and generalizable Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) models for turbulent flows rely on effective closures. We introduce tensor-based, symmetry aware closures using equivariant neural networks (ENNs) and present an algorithm for enforcing algebraic contraction relations among tensor components. The modeling approach builds on the structure tensor framework introduced by Kassinos and Reynolds to learn closures in the rapid distortion theory setting. Experiments show that ENNs can effectively learn relationships involving high-order tensors, meeting or exceeding the performance of existing models in tasks such as predicting the rapid pressure-strain correlation. Our results show that ENNs provide a physically consistent alternative to classical tensor basis models, enabling end-to-end learning of unclosed terms in RANS and fast exploration of model dependencies.

  We show how a PAC-Bayes bound is obtained for a general class of models, characterizing factors which influence performance in the interpolating regime. We quantify how the test error for overparameterized models achieving effectively zero training error depends on the quality of the implicit regularization imposed by e.g. the combination of model, parameter-initialization scheme.

• A Momentum-Incorporated Non-Negative Latent Factorization of Tensors Model for Dynamic Network Representation [0.0]
  A large-scale dynamic network (LDN) is a source of data in many big data-related applications. A Latent factorization of tensors (LFT) model efficiently extracts this time pattern. LFT models based on gradient descent (SGD) solvers are often limited by training schemes and have poor tail convergence. This paper proposes a novel nonlinear LFT model (MNNL) based on momentum-ind SGD to make training unconstrained and compatible with general training schemes.
