Mechanistic data science combines mathematical scientific principles with available data. Mathematical scientific principles provide the fundamental understanding of the world and allow predictions which drive new discoveries and enable future technologies. Unfortunately, the development of new scientific principles often trails the pace of new inventions. The ability to combine known scientific principles with newly collected data will be a boon for new inventions. In this short course, three types of scientific/engineering problems will be discussed:
Type 1 problems have abundant data but undeveloped or unavailable scientific principles. These are often called purely data-driven problems.
Type 2 problems have limited data and limited scientific knowledge, and both the data and the scientific principles are needed to provide a complete solution.
Type 3 problems have known mathematical science principles with uncertain parameters. These can be computationally burdensome to solve.
This short course first introduces Mechanistic Data Science (MDS) as a structured methodology for combining data science tools with mathematical scientific principles (i.e., “mechanistic” principles) to solve intractable problems. Traditional data science methodologies require copious quantities of data to show a reliable pattern, but the amount of required data can be greatly reduced by considering the mathematical science principles. MDS is the backbone of a mechanistic artificial intelligence (AI) framework. The MDS-AI framework will leverage MDS with machine learning methods like active deep learning and hierarchical neural network(s) to process the input data, extract mechanistic features from it, reduce dimensions, learn hidden relationships through regression and classification, and provide a knowledge database. The resulting reduced order form can be utilized for design and optimization of new scientific and engineering systems. The short course will cover: 1) Multimodal data generation and collection, 2) extraction of mechanistic features and knowledge-driven dimension reduction, 3) reduced order surrogate models and deep learning for regression and classification, 4) the formulation of system and design for optimization, and 5) the application of an MDS-AI Software system to address pressing global issues such as additive manufacturing (AM), metallic and polymer matrix composites material systems, and biomedical imaging in medical sciences.
