Reframing Generative Models for Physical Systems using Stochastic Interpolants

Anthony Zhou, Alexander Wikner, Amaury Lancelin +2

Generative models have recently emerged as powerful surrogates for physical systems, demonstrating increased accuracy, stability, and/or statistical fidelity. Most approaches rely…

Attention-Based Ensemble Pooling for Time Series Forecasting

Dhruvit Patel, Alexander Wikner

A common technique to reduce model bias in time-series forecasting is to use an ensemble of predictive models and pool their output into an ensemble forecast. In cases where each p…

Using Data Assimilation to Train a Hybrid Forecast System that Combines Machine-Learning and Knowledge-Based Components

Alexander Wikner, Jaideep Pathak, Brian R. Hunt +3

We consider the problem of data-assisted forecasting of chaotic dynamical systems when the available data is in the form of noisy partial measurements of the past and present state…

Combining Machine Learning with Knowledge-Based Modeling for Scalable Forecasting and Subgrid-Scale Closure of Large, Complex, Spatiotemporal Systems

Alexander Wikner, Jaideep Pathak, Brian Hunt +5

We consider the commonly encountered situation (e.g., in weather forecasting) where the goal is to predict the time evolution of a large, spatiotemporally chaotic dynamical system…

Hybrid Forecasting of Chaotic Processes: Using Machine Learning in Conjunction with a Knowledge-Based Model

Jaideep Pathak, Alexander Wikner, Rebeckah Fussell +4

A model-based approach to forecasting chaotic dynamical systems utilizes knowledge of the physical processes governing the dynamics to build an approximate mathematical model of th…

Stabilizing Machine Learning Prediction of Dynamics: Noise and Noise-inspired Regularization

Alexander Wikner, Joseph Harvey, Michelle Girvan +4

Recent work has shown that machine learning (ML) models can be trained to accurately forecast the dynamics of unknown chaotic dynamical systems. Short-term predictions of the state…
