Improving the Robustness of Control of Chaotic Convective Flows with Domain-Informed Reinforcement Learning

Michiel Straat, Thorben Markmann, Sebastian Peitz +1

Chaotic convective flows arise in many real-world systems, such as microfluidic devices and chemical reactors. Stabilizing these flows is highly desirable but remains challenging,…

Koopman-Based Surrogate Modelling of Turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard Convection

Thorben Markmann, Michiel Straat, Barbara Hammer

Several related works have introduced Koopman-based Machine Learning architectures as a surrogate model for dynamical systems. These architectures aim to learn non-linear measureme…

An Industry 4.0 example: real-time quality control for steel-based mass production using Machine Learning on non-invasive sensor data

Michiel Straat, Kevin Koster, Nick Goet +1

Insufficient steel quality in mass production can cause extremely costly damage to tooling, production downtimes and low quality products. Automatic, fast and cheap strategies to e…

Complex-valued embeddings of generic proximity data

Maximilian Münch, Michiel Straat, Michael Biehl +1

Proximities are at the heart of almost all machine learning methods. If the input data are given as numerical vectors of equal lengths, euclidean distance, or a Hilbertian inner pr…

Supervised Learning in the Presence of Concept Drift: A modelling framework

Michiel Straat, Fthi Abadi, Zhuoyun Kan +3

We present a modelling framework for the investigation of supervised learning in non-stationary environments. Specifically, we model two example types of learning systems: prototyp…

Hidden Unit Specialization in Layered Neural Networks: ReLU vs. Sigmoidal Activation

Elisa Oostwal, Michiel Straat, Michael Biehl

We study layered neural networks of rectified linear units (ReLU) in a modelling framework for stochastic training processes. The comparison with sigmoidal activation functions is…

On-line learning dynamics of ReLU neural networks using statistical physics techniques

Michiel Straat, Michael Biehl

We introduce exact macroscopic on-line learning dynamics of two-layer neural networks with ReLU units in the form of a system of differential equations, using techniques borrowed f…
