Recent advances in computational science have resulted in the ability to perform large-scale simulations and process massive amounts of data obtained from measurements, images, or high-fidelity simulations of complex physical systems. Harnessing such large and heterogeneous observational data and integrating those with physics-based and scientific machine learning models have enabled advancing computational models' prediction capabilities.
 
This mini-symposium highlights novel efforts to develop predictive computational models and model-based decision-making. It provides a forum for advancing scientific knowledge of data-driven complex system modeling and discussing recent uncertainty quantification (UQ) developments in physics-informed scientific machine learning and data interpretation algorithms. Potential topics may include but are not limited to efforts on:
  • Bayesian validation and selection of computational models
  • UQ analyses of high-fidelity discrete (molecular dynamics, agent-based) models
  • Physics-informed machine/deep learning
  • Data-driven discovery of physical laws
  • The interface of UQ and scientific machine learning
  • Design, control, and decision-making under uncertainty
  • Integrated multi-scale modeling and image analyses
  • Computational imaging
  • Operator inference for model reduction and surrogate modeling
  • Learning from high-dimensional and uncertain data
  • Multi-level, multi-fidelity, and dimension reduction methods
  • Learning the structure of the high-fidelity physics-based model from data
  • UQ methods for stochastic models with high-dimensional parameter space
  • Scalable, adaptive, and efficient UQ algorithms
  • Extensible software framework for large-scale inference and UQ
