Abstract:

In this talk, we will present three new data-driven, deep-learning based methods for predicting outcomes of complex nonlinear physical systems and quantifying the uncertainties in deep learning. First, we will introduce a fast probabilistic convolutional encoder-decoder network named PDE-UQ-Net for predicting the solutions of heterogeneous elliptic partial differential equations on varied domains. Unlike other approaches, PDE-UQ-Net can quantify the uncertainties in deep-learning-based prediction and allow training to be scaled to the large data sets. In addition, to predict material failure and fracture propagation, we will present a new deep neural network named Peri-Net. Finally, to efficiently predict the solutions for heterogeneous nonlinear multiphase flow problems, we will introduce a multiscale deep neural network named MS-Net. We will demonstrate the power and efficiency of the above three neural networks in solving complex physical problems by comparing with traditional methods.
