Various methodological topics under the QUERIDO focus area:
Informative Optimization Inference and Learning:
- Variational Information-theoretic Inference
- Manifold approaches to Quantify Uncertainty and Recursive Estimation (ManiQURE).
- Informative Neural Ensemble Kalman Learning
- Ensemble Learning in Non Gaussian Data Assimilation
Statistical Transport & Inference for Coherent Structures (stics.mit.edu):
Fluids have coherent structures in turbulence. These features have always been used to describe fluids but they are rarely used to solve inference problems. We’ve wondered why that is. This area considers patterns emergent in coherent fluids as a means to efficient Inference. Here are some problems we have solved:
- Data Assimilation by Field Alignment
- Scale Cascaded Alignment
- Quantifying Uncertainty for Coherent Structures using Field Coalescence
- Coherent Random Fields and Principal Appearance and Geometry Modes
- Field alignment for Blending Fields (FABle)
- Adaptive Reduced Order Modeling by Alignment (AROMA)
- Dynamically Deformable Sampling Plans
- Field Alignment System and Testbed: Publicly released, patented codes that exploit pattern information in data assimilation.
