Organized by: M. Fernández-Godino (LLNL, United States), D. O'Malley (LLNL, United States), C. Gogu (ISAE-SUPAERO, France) and G. Karniadakis (Brown University, United States)
Keywords: Convolutional Neural Networks, Deep Learning, Fluid Mechanics, Transport Phenomena
Machine Learning has demonstrated transformative potential in diverse scientific fields, with deep learning standing out for its exceptional performance [1]. However, the black-box nature of these deep learning models has raised concerns about their lack of physical interpretability. In an endeavor to bridge this interpretability gap, sophisticated methodologies such as Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) [2], DeepONet [3], symbolic regression [4], Scientific Machine Learning (Sci-ML) [5], and differentiable programming [6] are an attempt to solve this issue. This symposium seeks to bring together experts for an in-depth discussion on approaches that integrate domain-specific physical laws and principles directly into machine learning algorithms, thereby fostering a more interpretable and reliable modeling framework.
