Physics-Informed and Scientific Machine Learning

Machine Learning, particularly 'Deep Learning', has been a big player in the data-driven world of methods recently, thanks to the vast amount of available data stored and collected from billions of sensors and actuators. Since such data usually comes from multiscale physics problems and applications, data-driven approaches can produce physically inconsistent or implausible predictions while providing excellent accuracy.

In this scenario, a question arises: Can physics-informed machine learning be the new essential tool for solving challenging physics problems and applications?

Nowadays, a new frontier in Machine Learning is represented by combining physics laws and domain knowledge into the models (i.e. neural networks); in this way, such models can benefit from theoretical constraints on top of the observational data. The main goal is to improve the performance of the learning algorithms and introduce a new way of explaining and interpreting the obtained solutions.

The main research topics of this topical collection include, but are not limited to:

  • Theory for Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) 
  • Neural Network architectures for PINNs
  • Hybrid approaches for Physics-Informed Machine Learning
  • Application of physical sciences to model and improve ML performance
  • Scientific Machine Learning approaches for ODE and PDE

Peer Review Process:

Advanced Modeling and Simulation in Engineering Sciences operates a single-blind peer-review system, where the reviewers are aware of the names and affiliations of the authors, but the reviewer reports provided to authors are anonymous.

Submitted manuscripts will generally be reviewed by two to three experts who will be asked to evaluate whether the manuscript is scientifically sound and coherent, whether it duplicates already published work, and whether or not the manuscript is sufficiently clear for publication. The Editors will reach a decision based on these reports and, where necessary, they will consult with members of the Editorial Board.

Articles will undergo the journal’s standard peer-review process and are subject to all of the journal’s standard policies, including those pertaining to Collections. Articles will be added to the Collection as they are published.
