物理信息神经网络（PINN）能够找到给定边界值问题的解决方案。我们使用有限元方法（FEM）的几个想法来增强工程问题中现有的PINN的性能。当前工作的主要贡献是促进使用主要变量的空间梯度作为分离神经网络的输出。后来，具有较高衍生物的强形式应用于主要变量的空间梯度作为物理约束。此外，该问题的所谓能量形式被应用于主要变量，作为训练的附加约束。所提出的方法仅需要一阶导数来构建物理损失函数。我们讨论了为什么通过不同模型之间的各种比较，这一点是有益的。基于配方混合的PINN和FE方法具有一些相似之处。前者利用神经网络的复杂非线性插值将PDE及其能量形式最小化及其能量形式，而后者则在元素节点借助Shape函数在元素节点上使用相同。我们专注于异质固体，以显示深学习在不同边界条件下在复杂环境中预测解决方案的能力。针对FEM的解决方案对两个原型问题的解决方案进行了检查：弹性和泊松方程（稳态扩散问题）。我们得出的结论是，通过正确设计PINN中的网络体系结构，深度学习模型有可能在没有其他来源的任何可用初始数据中解决异质域中的未知数。最后，关于Pinn和FEM的组合进行了讨论，以在未来的开发中快速准确地设计复合材料。

Distributionally robust optimization (DRO) can improve the robustness and fairness of learning methods. In this paper, we devise stochastic algorithms for a class of DRO problems including group DRO, subpopulation fairness, and empirical conditional value at risk (CVaR) optimization. Our new algorithms achieve faster convergence rates than existing algorithms for multiple DRO settings. We also provide a new information-theoretic lower bound that implies our bounds are tight for group DRO. Empirically, too, our algorithms outperform known methods

Profile extrusion is a continuous production process for manufacturing plastic profiles from molten polymer. Especially interesting is the design of the die, through which the melt is pressed to attain the desired shape. However, due to an inhomogeneous velocity distribution at the die exit or residual stresses inside the extrudate, the final shape of the manufactured part often deviates from the desired one. To avoid these deviations, the shape of the die can be computationally optimized, which has already been investigated in the literature using classical optimization approaches. A new approach in the field of shape optimization is the utilization of Reinforcement Learning (RL) as a learning-based optimization algorithm. RL is based on trial-and-error interactions of an agent with an environment. For each action, the agent is rewarded and informed about the subsequent state of the environment. While not necessarily superior to classical, e.g., gradient-based or evolutionary, optimization algorithms for one single problem, RL techniques are expected to perform especially well when similar optimization tasks are repeated since the agent learns a more general strategy for generating optimal shapes instead of concentrating on just one single problem. In this work, we investigate this approach by applying it to two 2D test cases. The flow-channel geometry can be modified by the RL agent using so-called Free-Form Deformation, a method where the computational mesh is embedded into a transformation spline, which is then manipulated based on the control-point positions. In particular, we investigate the impact of utilizing different agents on the training progress and the potential of wall time saving by utilizing multiple environments during training.

We present a method for providing statistical guarantees on runtime safety and goal reachability for integrated planning and control of a class of systems with unknown nonlinear stochastic underactuated dynamics. Specifically, given a dynamics dataset, our method jointly learns a mean dynamics model, a spatially-varying disturbance bound that captures the effect of noise and model mismatch, and a feedback controller based on contraction theory that stabilizes the learned dynamics. We propose a sampling-based planner that uses the mean dynamics model and simultaneously bounds the closed-loop tracking error via a learned disturbance bound. We employ techniques from Extreme Value Theory (EVT) to estimate, to a specified level of confidence, several constants which characterize the learned components and govern the size of the tracking error bound. This ensures plans are guaranteed to be safely tracked at runtime. We validate that our guarantees translate to empirical safety in simulation on a 10D quadrotor, and in the real world on a physical CrazyFlie quadrotor and Clearpath Jackal robot, whereas baselines that ignore the model error and stochasticity are unsafe.

Timely and effective feedback within surgical training plays a critical role in developing the skills required to perform safe and efficient surgery. Feedback from expert surgeons, while especially valuable in this regard, is challenging to acquire due to their typically busy schedules, and may be subject to biases. Formal assessment procedures like OSATS and GEARS attempt to provide objective measures of skill, but remain time-consuming. With advances in machine learning there is an opportunity for fast and objective automated feedback on technical skills. The SimSurgSkill 2021 challenge (hosted as a sub-challenge of EndoVis at MICCAI 2021) aimed to promote and foster work in this endeavor. Using virtual reality (VR) surgical tasks, competitors were tasked with localizing instruments and predicting surgical skill. Here we summarize the winning approaches and how they performed. Using this publicly available dataset and results as a springboard, future work may enable more efficient training of surgeons with advances in surgical data science. The dataset can be accessed from https://console.cloud.google.com/storage/browser/isi-simsurgskill-2021.

实验数据的获取成本很高，这使得很难校准复杂模型。对于许多型号而言，鉴于有限的实验预算，可以产生最佳校准的实验设计并不明显。本文介绍了用于设计实验的深钢筋学习（RL）算法，该算法通过Kalman Filter（KF）获得的Kullback-Leibler（KL）差异测量的信息增益最大化。这种组合实现了传统方法太昂贵的快速在线实验的实验设计。我们将实验的可能配置作为决策树和马尔可夫决策过程（MDP），其中每个增量步骤都有有限的操作选择。一旦采取了动作，就会使用各种测量来更新实验状态。该新数据导致KF对参数进行贝叶斯更新，该参数用于增强状态表示。与NASH-SUTCLIFFE效率（NSE）指数相反，该指数需要额外的抽样来检验前进预测的假设，KF可以通过直接估计通过其他操作获得的新数据值来降低实验的成本。在这项工作中，我们的应用集中在材料的机械测试上。使用复杂的历史依赖模型的数值实验用于验证RL设计实验的性能并基准测试实现。

通用数据模型解决了标准化电子健康记录（EHR）数据的许多挑战，但无法将其集成深度表型所需的资源。开放的生物学和生物医学本体论（OBO）铸造本体论提供了可用于生物学知识的语义计算表示，并能够整合多种生物医学数据。但是，将EHR数据映射到OBO Foundry本体论需要大量的手动策展和域专业知识。我们介绍了一个框架，用于将观察性医学成果合作伙伴关系（OMOP）标准词汇介绍给OBO铸造本体。使用此框架，我们制作了92,367条条件，8,615种药物成分和10,673个测量结果的映射。域专家验证了映射准确性，并且在24家医院进行检查时，映射覆盖了99％的条件和药物成分和68％的测量结果。最后，我们证明OMOP2OBO映射可以帮助系统地识别可能受益于基因检测的未诊断罕见病患者。

在本文中，我们解决了多视图3D形状重建的问题。尽管最近与隐式形状表示相关的最新可区分渲染方法提供了突破性的表现，但它们仍然在计算上很重，并且在估计的几何形状上通常缺乏精确性。为了克服这些局限性，我们研究了一种基于体积的新型表示形式建立的新计算方法，就像在最近的可区分渲染方法中一样，但是用深度图进行了参数化，以更好地实现形状表面。与此表示相关的形状能量可以评估给定颜色图像的3D几何形状，并且不需要外观预测，但在优化时仍然受益于体积整合。在实践中，我们提出了一个隐式形状表示，SRDF基于签名距离，我们通过沿摄像头射线进行参数化。相关的形状能量考虑了深度预测一致性和光度一致性之间的一致性，这是在体积表示内的3D位置。可以考虑各种照片一致先验的基础基线，或者像学习功能一样详细的标准。该方法保留具有深度图的像素准确性，并且可行。我们对标准数据集进行的实验表明，它提供了有关具有隐式形状表示的最新方法以及传统的多视角立体方法的最新结果。

深度学习的概括分析通常假定训练会收敛到固定点。但是，最近的结果表明，实际上，用随机梯度下降优化的深神经网络的权重通常无限期振荡。为了减少理论和实践之间的这种差异，本文着重于神经网络的概括，其训练动力不一定会融合到固定点。我们的主要贡献是提出一个统计算法稳定性（SAS）的概念，该算法将经典算法稳定性扩展到非convergergent算法并研究其与泛化的联系。与传统的优化和学习理论观点相比，这种崇高的理论方法可导致新的见解。我们证明，学习算法的时间复杂行为的稳定性与其泛化有关，并在经验上证明了损失动力学如何为概括性能提供线索。我们的发现提供了证据表明，即使训练无限期继续并且权重也不会融合，即使训练持续进行训练，训练更好地概括”的网络也是如此。

将有用的背景知识传达给加强学习（RL）代理是加速学习的重要方法。我们介绍了Rlang，这是一种特定领域的语言（DSL），用于将域知识传达给RL代理。与RL社区提出的其他现有DSL不同，该基础是决策形式主义的单个要素（例如，奖励功能或政策功能），RLANG可以指定有关马尔可夫决策过程中每个元素的信息。我们为rlang定义了精确的语法和基础语义，并提供了解析器实施，将rlang程序基于算法 - 敏捷的部分世界模型和政策，可以由RL代理利用。我们提供一系列示例RLANG程序，并演示不同的RL方法如何利用所得的知识，包括无模型和基于模型的表格算法，分层方法和深度RL算法（包括策略梯度和基于价值的方法）。
