Professor John Harlim, Pennsylvania State University

Will present a talk entitled:

Reduced Order Modeling with Neural Networks

Abstract: The recent success of machine learning has drawn tremendous interest in applied mathematics and scientific computations. I will discuss how to leverage neural networks to approximate model error induced by missing dynamics or reduced-order modeling. The proposed framework reformulates the model error problem into a supervised learning task to approximate a very high-dimensional target function involving the Mori-Zwanzig representation of projected dynamical systems. Theoretical convergence and numerical demonstration on various applications ranging from geophysical fluid dynamics to power systems will be presented.

Bio: John Harlim is a Professor of Mathematics and Meteorology at the Pennsylvania State University. He earned a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics and Scientific Computation from the University of Maryland in 2006. His research contribution covers a wide area in applied mathematics, including data assimilation, statistical closure of dynamical systems, linear response theory, kernel regression, manifold learning, machine learning of dynamical systems, and numerical PDEs.
