Structure-Preserving Neural Surrogates with Tractable Uncertainty Quantification
Handi Zhang, Adrienne M. Propp, Brooks Kinch +2
Recent advances in scientific machine learning provide a means of near-real-time solution to partial differential equations (PDEs), but lack the theoretical underpinnings of conven…
Structure-Preserving Learning Improves Geometry Generalization in Neural PDEs
Benjamin D. Shaffer, Shawn Koohy, Brooks Kinch +2
We aim to develop physics foundation models for science and engineering that provide real-time solutions to Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) which preserve structure and accur…
Neural Navigation Functions for Zero-Shot Generalizable Motion Planning
Benjamin D. Shaffer, Pei-An Hsieh, Brooks Kinch +2
We introduce Neural Navigation Functions (Neural-NF), a learned reactive navigation function capable of zero-shot transfer across unseen environment geometries. Neural-NF places da…
A meshfree exterior calculus for generalizable and data-efficient learning of physics from point clouds
Benjamin D. Shaffer, Brooks Kinch, M. Ani Hsieh +1
We introduce a meshfree exterior calculus (MEEC) for learning structure-preserving descriptions of physics on point clouds, and use it to build MEEC-Net, a data-efficient surrogate…
A Hybridizable Neural Time Integrator for Stable Autoregressive Forecasting
Brooks Kinch, Xiaozhe Hu, Yilong Huang +6
For autoregressive modeling of chaotic dynamical systems over long time horizons, the stability of both training and inference is a major challenge in building scientific foundatio…
Multi-robot Multi-source Localization in Complex Flows with Physics-Preserving Environment Models
Benjamin Shaffer, Victoria Edwards, Brooks Kinch +2
Source localization in a complex flow poses a significant challenge for multi-robot teams tasked with localizing the source of chemical leaks or tracking the dispersion of an oil s…
