Machine Learning for Fluid Mechanics
The field of fluid mechanics is rapidly advancing, driven by unprecedented
volumes of data from field measurements, experiments and large-scale
simulations at multiple spatiotemporal scales. Machine learning offers a wealth
of techniques to extract information from data that could be translated into
knowledge about the underlying fluid mechanics. Moreover, machine learning
algorithms can augment domain knowledge and automate tasks related to flow
control and optimization. This article presents an overview of past history,
current developments, and emerging opportunities of machine learning for fluid
mechanics. It outlines fundamental machine learning methodologies and discusses
their uses for understanding, modeling, optimizing, and controlling fluid
flows. The strengths and limitations of these methods are addressed from the
perspective of scientific inquiry that considers data as an inherent part of
modeling, experimentation, and simulation. Machine learning provides a powerful
information processing framework that can enrich, and possibly even transform,
current lines of fluid mechanics research and industrial applications.Comment: To appear in the Annual Reviews of Fluid Mechanics, 202
A Minimal Architecture for General Cognition
A minimalistic cognitive architecture called MANIC is presented. The MANIC
architecture requires only three function approximating models, and one state
machine. Even with so few major components, it is theoretically sufficient to
achieve functional equivalence with all other cognitive architectures, and can
be practically trained. Instead of seeking to transfer architectural
inspiration from biology into artificial intelligence, MANIC seeks to minimize
novelty and follow the most well-established constructs that have evolved
within various sub-fields of data science. From this perspective, MANIC offers
an alternate approach to a long-standing objective of artificial intelligence.
This paper provides a theoretical analysis of the MANIC architecture.Comment: 8 pages, 8 figures, conference, Proceedings of the 2015 International
