These grants will support the development of scientific machine learning models that take into account uncertainty and use underlying governing mathematical models to fill in data gaps, the same way our brains do. The result is the ability to use limited information and physics laws to create machine learning models that are able to do as much or even faster than real-time processing and predicting than models that rely on only the governing physics or that are purely data-driven.
