An information-matching approach to optimal experimental design and active learning

Yonatan Kurniawan, Tracianne B. Neilsen, Benjamin L. Francis +7

The efficacy of mathematical models heavily depends on the quality of the training data, yet collecting sufficient data is often expensive and challenging. Many modeling applicatio…

Unwinding the model manifold: choosing similarity measures to remove local minima in sloppy dynamical systems

Benjamin L. Francis, Mark K. Transtrum

In this paper, we consider the problem of parameter sensitivity in models of complex dynamical systems through the lens of information geometry. We calculate the sensitivity of mod…
