Adaptive Online Emulation for Accelerating Complex Physical Simulations

Tara P. A. Tahseen, Nikolaos Nikolaou, Luís F. Simões +3

Complex physical simulations often require trade-offs between model fidelity and computational feasibility. We introduce Adaptive Online Emulation (AOE), which dynamically learns n…
