A foundation model for energy and radiation systems built on heterogeneous scientific interfaces

Scientific foundation models are commonly evaluated after heterogeneous physical problems have already been translated into a compatible gridded, tokenized or symbolic representation. This leaves the scientific interface outside both the pretrained model and the audit of what is actually reused. We study the complementary setting in which boundary histories, sparse monitor records and loading histories retain their native inference classes and their outputs remain on Cartesian, latitude-longitude and unstructured domains. GEODE couples task-specific scientific interfaces to a shared routed library of wavelet operators. A single jointly pretrained model represents cavity flow, radiation dose and elastoplastic stress, then acquires a heat exchanger and a reactor subchannel by training a private interface containing 2.1% of its parameters. Earlier predictions remain unchanged by parameter isolation, whereas unrestricted fine-tuning degrades them by factors of 14-29. Crucially, preservation alone does not establish reuse: norm-matched randomized-library controls show that the contribution of pretrained computation is conditional on the task and data regime. A separate decomposition shows that full-field relative L2 error can substantially understate error relative to spatial variation when field level dominates the norm. Task-specific operators remain more accurate on three of the five problems. These results distinguish multi-task coverage, preservation and pretrained reuse as separate properties that must be tested independently when scientific foundation models span heterogeneous interfaces.

From Proxies to Fields: Spatiotemporal Reconstruction of Global Radiation from Sparse Sensor Sequences

Accurate reconstruction of latent environmental fields from sparse, indirect observations is a fundamental challenge across scientific domains, from atmospheric science and geophysics to public health and aerospace safety. Existing approaches typically rely on physics-based simulations or dense sensor networks; however, these methods are hampered by high computational cost, latency, and limited spatial coverage. Here we introduce the \textbf{Temporal Radiation Operator Network (TRON)}, a spatiotemporal neural operator architecture that infers continuous global scalar fields solely from sequences of sparse, non-uniform proxy measurements. Unlike recent prediction models that require dense, gridded inputs to predict system states, TRON tackles sparse-to-dense, cross-domain field reconstruction. It reconstructs the current global field in real time from sparse, temporally evolving sensor data, without access to any future observations or dense ground-truth fields. We demonstrate this approach on global cosmic radiation dose mapping: TRON, trained on daily reference fields spanning 2001 to 2023, generalizes across 65,341 spatial locations with input sequences ranging from 7 to 90 days. It achieves sub-second inference with relative $L_2$ errors below 0.1\%, representing over a 58,000$\times$ speedup compared to physics-based estimators. Although showcased in the radiation application, TRON provides a domain-agnostic framework for continuous field reconstruction from sparse data, with broad applications in atmospheric modeling, geophysical hazard monitoring, and real-time environmental risk prediction.

From Local Interactions to Global Operators: Scalable Gaussian Process Operator for Physical Systems

Operator learning offers a powerful paradigm for solving parametric partial differential equations (PDEs), but scaling probabilistic neural operators such as the recently proposed Gaussian Processes Operators (GPOs) to high-dimensional, data-intensive regimes remains a significant challenge. In this work, we introduce a novel, scalable GPO, which capitalizes on sparsity, locality, and structural information through judicious kernel design. Addressing the fundamental limitation of cubic computational complexity, our method leverages nearest-neighbor-based local kernel approximations in the spatial domain, sparse kernel approximation in the parameter space, and structured Kronecker factorizations to enable tractable inference on large-scale datasets and high-dimensional input. While local approximations often introduce accuracy trade-offs due to limited kernel interactions, we overcome this by embedding operator-aware kernel structures and employing expressive, task-informed mean functions derived from neural operator architectures. Through extensive evaluations on a broad class of nonlinear PDEs - including Navier-Stokes, wave advection, Darcy flow, and Burgers' equations - we demonstrate that our framework consistently achieves high accuracy across varying discretization scales. These results underscore the potential of our approach to bridge the gap between scalability and fidelity in GPO, offering a compelling foundation for uncertainty-aware modeling in complex physical systems.

Deep Muscle EMG construction using A Physics-Integrated Deep Learning approach

Electromyography (EMG)--based computational musculoskeletal modeling is a non-invasive method for studying musculotendon function, human movement, and neuromuscular control, providing estimates of internal variables like muscle forces and joint torques. However, EMG signals from deeper muscles are often challenging to measure by placing the surface EMG electrodes and unfeasible to measure directly using invasive methods. The restriction to the access of EMG data from deeper muscles poses a considerable obstacle to the broad adoption of EMG-driven modeling techniques. A strategic alternative is to use an estimation algorithm to approximate the missing EMG signals from deeper muscle. A similar strategy is used in physics-informed deep learning, where the features of physical systems are learned without labeled data. In this work, we propose a hybrid deep learning algorithm, namely the neural musculoskeletal model (NMM), that integrates physics-informed and data-driven deep learning to approximate the EMG signals from the deeper muscles. While data-driven modeling is used to predict the missing EMG signals, physics-based modeling engraves the subject-specific information into the predictions. Experimental verifications on five test subjects are carried out to investigate the performance of the proposed hybrid framework. The proposed NMM is validated against the joint torque computed from 'OpenSim' software. The predicted deep EMG signals are also compared against the state-of-the-art muscle synergy extrapolation (MSE) approach, where the proposed NMM completely outperforms the existing MSE framework by a significant margin.

Generative flow induced neural architecture search: Towards discovering optimal architecture in wavelet neural operator

We propose a generative flow-induced neural architecture search algorithm. The proposed approach devices simple feed-forward neural networks to learn stochastic policies to generate sequences of architecture hyperparameters such that the generated states are in proportion with the reward from the terminal state. We demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed search algorithm on the wavelet neural operator (WNO), where we learn a policy to generate a sequence of hyperparameters like wavelet basis and activation operators for wavelet integral blocks. While the trajectory of the generated wavelet basis and activation sequence is cast as flow, the policy is learned by minimizing the flow violation between each state in the trajectory and maximizing the reward from the terminal state. In the terminal state, we train WNO simultaneously to guide the search. We propose to use the exponent of the negative of the WNO loss on the validation dataset as the reward function. While the grid search-based neural architecture generation algorithms foresee every combination, the proposed framework generates the most probable sequence based on the positive reward from the terminal state, thereby reducing exploration time. Compared to reinforcement learning schemes, where complete episodic training is required to get the reward, the proposed algorithm generates the hyperparameter trajectory sequentially. Through four fluid mechanics-oriented problems, we illustrate that the learned policies can sample the best-performing architecture of the neural operator, thereby improving the performance of the vanilla wavelet neural operator.

Data-driven discovery of interpretable Lagrangian of stochastically excited dynamical systems

Exploring the intersection of deterministic and stochastic dynamics, this paper delves into Lagrangian discovery for conservative and non-conservative systems under stochastic excitation. Traditional Lagrangian frameworks, adept at capturing deterministic behavior, are extended to incorporate stochastic excitation. The study critically evaluates recent computational methodologies for learning Lagrangians from observed data, highlighting the limitations in interpretability and the exclusion of stochastic excitation. To address these gaps, an automated data-driven framework is proposed for the simultaneous yet uncoupled discovery of Lagrange densities and the volatility function of stochastic excitation by leveraging the sparse regression. This novel framework offers several advantages over existing approaches. Firstly, it provides an interpretable description of the underlying Lagrange density, allowing for a deeper understanding of system dynamics under stochastic excitations. Secondly, it identifies the interpretable form of the generalized stochastic force, addressing the limitations of existing deterministic approaches. Additionally, the framework demonstrates robustness and versatility through numerical case studies encompassing both stochastic differential equations (SDEs) and stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs), with results showing almost exact approximations to true system behavior and minimal relative error in derived equations of motion.

Generative adversarial wavelet neural operator: Application to fault detection and isolation of multivariate time series data

Fault detection and isolation in complex systems are critical to ensure reliable and efficient operation. However, traditional fault detection methods often struggle with issues such as nonlinearity and multivariate characteristics of the time series variables. This article proposes a generative adversarial wavelet neural operator (GAWNO) as a novel unsupervised deep learning approach for fault detection and isolation of multivariate time series processes.The GAWNO combines the strengths of wavelet neural operators and generative adversarial networks (GANs) to effectively capture both the temporal distributions and the spatial dependencies among different variables of an underlying system. The approach of fault detection and isolation using GAWNO consists of two main stages. In the first stage, the GAWNO is trained on a dataset of normal operating conditions to learn the underlying data distribution. In the second stage, a reconstruction error-based threshold approach using the trained GAWNO is employed to detect and isolate faults based on the discrepancy values. We validate the proposed approach using the Tennessee Eastman Process (TEP) dataset and Avedore wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) and N2O emissions named as WWTPN2O datasets. Overall, we showcase that the idea of harnessing the power of wavelet analysis, neural operators, and generative models in a single framework to detect and isolate faults has shown promising results compared to various well-established baselines in the literature.

Deep neural operators can predict the real-time response of floating offshore structures under irregular waves

The use of neural operators in a digital twin model of an offshore floating structure can provide a paradigm shift in structural response prediction and health monitoring, providing valuable information for real-time control. In this work, the performance of three neural operators is evaluated, namely, deep operator network (DeepONet), Fourier neural operator (FNO), and Wavelet neural operator (WNO). We investigate the effectiveness of the operators to accurately capture the responses of a floating structure under six different sea state codes $(3-8)$ based on the wave characteristics described by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). The results demonstrate that these high-precision neural operators can deliver structural responses more efficiently, up to two orders of magnitude faster than a dynamic analysis using conventional numerical solvers. Additionally, compared to gated recurrent units (GRUs), a commonly used recurrent neural network for time-series estimation, neural operators are both more accurate and efficient, especially in situations with limited data availability. To further enhance the accuracy, novel extensions, such as wavelet-DeepONet and self-adaptive WNO, are proposed. Taken together, our study shows that FNO outperforms all other operators for approximating the mapping of one input functional space to the output space as well as for responses that have small bandwidth of the frequency spectrum, whereas for learning the mapping of multiple functions in the input space to the output space as well as for capturing responses within a large frequency spectrum, DeepONet with historical states provides the highest accuracy.

A foundational neural operator that continuously learns without forgetting

Machine learning has witnessed substantial growth, leading to the development of advanced artificial intelligence models crafted to address a wide range of real-world challenges spanning various domains, such as computer vision, natural language processing, and scientific computing. Nevertheless, the creation of custom models for each new task remains a resource-intensive undertaking, demanding considerable computational time and memory resources. In this study, we introduce the concept of the Neural Combinatorial Wavelet Neural Operator (NCWNO) as a foundational model for scientific computing. This model is specifically designed to excel in learning from a diverse spectrum of physics and continuously adapt to the solution operators associated with parametric partial differential equations (PDEs). The NCWNO leverages a gated structure that employs local wavelet experts to acquire shared features across multiple physical systems, complemented by a memory-based ensembling approach among these local wavelet experts. This combination enables rapid adaptation to new challenges. The proposed foundational model offers two key advantages: (i) it can simultaneously learn solution operators for multiple parametric PDEs, and (ii) it can swiftly generalize to new parametric PDEs with minimal fine-tuning. The proposed NCWNO is the first foundational operator learning algorithm distinguished by its (i) robustness against catastrophic forgetting, (ii) the maintenance of positive transfer for new parametric PDEs, and (iii) the facilitation of knowledge transfer across dissimilar tasks. Through an extensive set of benchmark examples, we demonstrate that the NCWNO can outperform task-specific baseline operator learning frameworks with minimal hyperparameter tuning at the prediction stage. We also show that with minimal fine-tuning, the NCWNO performs accurate combinatorial learning of new parametric PDEs.

A Bayesian framework for discovering interpretable Lagrangian of dynamical systems from data

Learning and predicting the dynamics of physical systems requires a profound understanding of the underlying physical laws. Recent works on learning physical laws involve generalizing the equation discovery frameworks to the discovery of Hamiltonian and Lagrangian of physical systems. While the existing methods parameterize the Lagrangian using neural networks, we propose an alternate framework for learning interpretable Lagrangian descriptions of physical systems from limited data using the sparse Bayesian approach. Unlike existing neural network-based approaches, the proposed approach (a) yields an interpretable description of Lagrangian, (b) exploits Bayesian learning to quantify the epistemic uncertainty due to limited data, (c) automates the distillation of Hamiltonian from the learned Lagrangian using Legendre transformation, and (d) provides ordinary (ODE) and partial differential equation (PDE) based descriptions of the observed systems. Six different examples involving both discrete and continuous system illustrates the efficacy of the proposed approach.

Multi-fidelity wavelet neural operator with application to uncertainty quantification

Operator learning frameworks, because of their ability to learn nonlinear maps between two infinite dimensional functional spaces and utilization of neural networks in doing so, have recently emerged as one of the more pertinent areas in the field of applied machine learning. Although these frameworks are extremely capable when it comes to modeling complex phenomena, they require an extensive amount of data for successful training which is often not available or is too expensive. However, this issue can be alleviated with the use of multi-fidelity learning, where a model is trained by making use of a large amount of inexpensive low-fidelity data along with a small amount of expensive high-fidelity data. To this end, we develop a new framework based on the wavelet neural operator which is capable of learning from a multi-fidelity dataset. The developed model's excellent learning capabilities are demonstrated by solving different problems which require effective correlation learning between the two fidelities for surrogate construction. Furthermore, we also assess the application of the developed framework for uncertainty quantification. The results obtained from this work illustrate the excellent performance of the proposed framework.

Discovering stochastic partial differential equations from limited data using variational Bayes inference

We propose a novel framework for discovering Stochastic Partial Differential Equations (SPDEs) from data. The proposed approach combines the concepts of stochastic calculus, variational Bayes theory, and sparse learning. We propose the extended Kramers-Moyal expansion to express the drift and diffusion terms of an SPDE in terms of state responses and use Spike-and-Slab priors with sparse learning techniques to efficiently and accurately discover the underlying SPDEs. The proposed approach has been applied to three canonical SPDEs, (a) stochastic heat equation, (b) stochastic Allen-Cahn equation, and (c) stochastic Nagumo equation. Our results demonstrate that the proposed approach can accurately identify the underlying SPDEs with limited data. This is the first attempt at discovering SPDEs from data, and it has significant implications for various scientific applications, such as climate modeling, financial forecasting, and chemical kinetics.

A Bayesian Framework for learning governing Partial Differential Equation from Data

The discovery of partial differential equations (PDEs) is a challenging task that involves both theoretical and empirical methods. Machine learning approaches have been developed and used to solve this problem; however, it is important to note that existing methods often struggle to identify the underlying equation accurately in the presence of noise. In this study, we present a new approach to discovering PDEs by combining variational Bayes and sparse linear regression. The problem of PDE discovery has been posed as a problem to learn relevant basis from a predefined dictionary of basis functions. To accelerate the overall process, a variational Bayes-based approach for discovering partial differential equations is proposed. To ensure sparsity, we employ a spike and slab prior. We illustrate the efficacy of our strategy in several examples, including Burgers, Korteweg-de Vries, Kuramoto Sivashinsky, wave equation, and heat equation (1D as well as 2D). Our method offers a promising avenue for discovering PDEs from data and has potential applications in fields such as physics, engineering, and biology.

Physics informed WNO

Deep neural operators are recognized as an effective tool for learning solution operators of complex partial differential equations (PDEs). As compared to laborious analytical and computational tools, a single neural operator can predict solutions of PDEs for varying initial or boundary conditions and different inputs. A recently proposed Wavelet Neural Operator (WNO) is one such operator that harnesses the advantage of time-frequency localization of wavelets to capture the manifolds in the spatial domain effectively. While WNO has proven to be a promising method for operator learning, the data-hungry nature of the framework is a major shortcoming. In this work, we propose a physics-informed WNO for learning the solution operators of families of parametric PDEs without labeled training data. The efficacy of the framework is validated and illustrated with four nonlinear spatiotemporal systems relevant to various fields of engineering and science.

Discovering interpretable Lagrangian of dynamical systems from data

A complete understanding of physical systems requires models that are accurate and obeys natural conservation laws. Recent trends in representation learning involve learning Lagrangian from data rather than the direct discovery of governing equations of motion. The generalization of equation discovery techniques has huge potential; however, existing Lagrangian discovery frameworks are black-box in nature. This raises a concern about the reusability of the discovered Lagrangian. In this article, we propose a novel data-driven machine-learning algorithm to automate the discovery of interpretable Lagrangian from data. The Lagrangian are derived in interpretable forms, which also allows the automated discovery of conservation laws and governing equations of motion. The architecture of the proposed framework is designed in such a way that it allows learning the Lagrangian from a subset of the underlying domain and then generalizing for an infinite-dimensional system. The fidelity of the proposed framework is exemplified using examples described by systems of ordinary differential equations and partial differential equations where the Lagrangian and conserved quantities are known.

Probabilistic machine learning based predictive and interpretable digital twin for dynamical systems

A framework for creating and updating digital twins for dynamical systems from a library of physics-based functions is proposed. The sparse Bayesian machine learning is used to update and derive an interpretable expression for the digital twin. Two approaches for updating the digital twin are proposed. The first approach makes use of both the input and output information from a dynamical system, whereas the second approach utilizes output-only observations to update the digital twin. Both methods use a library of candidate functions representing certain physics to infer new perturbation terms in the existing digital twin model. In both cases, the resulting expressions of updated digital twins are identical, and in addition, the epistemic uncertainties are quantified. In the first approach, the regression problem is derived from a state-space model, whereas in the latter case, the output-only information is treated as a stochastic process. The concepts of Itô calculus and Kramers-Moyal expansion are being utilized to derive the regression equation. The performance of the proposed approaches is demonstrated using highly nonlinear dynamical systems such as the crack-degradation problem. Numerical results demonstrated in this paper almost exactly identify the correct perturbation terms along with their associated parameters in the dynamical system. The probabilistic nature of the proposed approach also helps in quantifying the uncertainties associated with updated models. The proposed approaches provide an exact and explainable description of the perturbations in digital twin models, which can be directly used for better cyber-physical integration, long-term future predictions, degradation monitoring, and model-agnostic control.

MAntRA: A framework for model agnostic reliability analysis

We propose a novel model agnostic data-driven reliability analysis framework for time-dependent reliability analysis. The proposed approach -- referred to as MAntRA -- combines interpretable machine learning, Bayesian statistics, and identifying stochastic dynamic equation to evaluate reliability of stochastically-excited dynamical systems for which the governing physics is \textit{apriori} unknown. A two-stage approach is adopted: in the first stage, an efficient variational Bayesian equation discovery algorithm is developed to determine the governing physics of an underlying stochastic differential equation (SDE) from measured output data. The developed algorithm is efficient and accounts for epistemic uncertainty due to limited and noisy data, and aleatoric uncertainty because of environmental effect and external excitation. In the second stage, the discovered SDE is solved using a stochastic integration scheme and the probability failure is computed. The efficacy of the proposed approach is illustrated on three numerical examples. The results obtained indicate the possible application of the proposed approach for reliability analysis of in-situ and heritage structures from on-site measurements.

Model-agnostic stochastic model predictive control

We propose a model-agnostic stochastic predictive control (MASMPC) algorithm for dynamical systems. The proposed approach first discovers \textit{interpretable} governing differential equations from data using a novel algorithm and blends it with a model predictive control algorithm. One salient feature of the proposed approach resides in the fact that it requires no input measurement (external excitation); the unknown excitation is instead treated as white noise, and a stochastic differential equation corresponding to the underlying system is identified. With the novel stochastic differential equation discovery framework, the proposed approach is able to generalize; this eliminates the repeated retraining phase -- a major bottleneck with other machine learning-based model agnostic control algorithms. Overall, the proposed MASMPC (a) is robust against measurement noise, (b) works with sparse measurements, (c) can tackle set-point changes, (d) works with multiple control variables, and (e) can incorporate dead time. We have obtained state-of-the-art results on several benchmark examples. Finally, we use the proposed approach for vibration mitigation of a 76-storey building under seismic loading.
