Geometrically adapted Langevin dynamics for Markov chain Monte Carlo simulations

Mariya Mamajiwala, Debasish Roy, Serge Guillas

Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) is one of the most powerful methods to sample from a given probability distribution, of which the Metropolis Adjusted Langevin Algorithm (MALA) is a…

Deep Gaussian Process Emulation using Stochastic Imputation

Deyu Ming, Daniel Williamson, Serge Guillas

Deep Gaussian processes (DGPs) provide a rich class of models that can better represent functions with varying regimes or sharp changes, compared to conventional GPs. In this work,…

An adaptive strategy for sequential designs of multilevel computer experiments

Ayao Ehara, Serge Guillas

Investigating uncertainties in computer simulations can be prohibitive in terms of computational costs, since the simulator needs to be run over a large number of input values. Bui…

Computationally efficient surrogate-based optimization of coastal storm waves heights and run-ups

Theodoros Mathikolonis, Volker Roeber, Serge Guillas

Storm surges cause coastal inundations due to the setup of the water surface resulting from atmospheric pressure, surface winds and breaking waves. The latter is particularly diffi…

Surrogate-based Optimization using Mutual Information for Computer Experiments (optim-MICE)

Theodoros Mathikolonis, Serge Guillas

The computational burden of running a complex computer model can make optimization impractical. Gaussian Processes (GPs) are statistical surrogates (also known as emulators) that a…

Quantifying Uncertainties in the 2004 Sumatra-Andaman Earthquake Source Parameters by Stochastic Inversion

Devaraj Gopinathan, Mamatha Venugopal, Debasish Roy +3

Usual inversion for earthquake source parameters from tsunami wave data incorporates subjective elements. Noisy and possibly insufficient data also results in instability and non-u…

Computer model calibration with large non-stationary spatial outputs: application to the calibration of a climate model

Kai-Lan Chang, Serge Guillas

Bayesian calibration of computer models tunes unknown input parameters by comparing outputs with observations. For model outputs that are distributed over space, this becomes compu…
