Deep Surrogate
Deep surrogate models are artificial neural networks trained to approximate the behavior of computationally expensive simulations or complex systems, aiming to accelerate predictions and reduce computational costs. Current research focuses on improving surrogate accuracy and efficiency through techniques like incorporating nonlinearities, employing advanced architectures such as Graph Neural Networks and transformers, and optimizing training processes with active learning and multi-fidelity approaches. These advancements are significantly impacting diverse fields, from accelerating scientific simulations (e.g., fluid dynamics, PDE solvers) to optimizing resource allocation in edge computing and enhancing automated design processes (e.g., game AI).
