Surrogate Neural Network

Surrogate neural networks are artificial neural networks trained to approximate computationally expensive simulations or models, accelerating analyses and predictions across diverse scientific and engineering domains. Current research emphasizes improving surrogate accuracy and efficiency through techniques like active learning for optimized data selection, and accelerated algorithms such as those replacing Monte Carlo sampling with surrogate networks themselves. These advancements are crucial for tackling complex problems in fields ranging from aircraft design and ocean modeling to hypersonic vehicle trajectory planning, enabling faster, more cost-effective simulations and optimization processes.
