In this work, we incorporate first principle physics into the construction of data-driven methods by considering a model that accounts for the different sources of energy losses during vehicle operations. Our results show that Bayesian linear regression based on this physics-aware model can improve the reliability of the expected energy consumption, as compared with standard linear regression. Further, it is shown that more complex machine learning models such as neural networks and gradient boosted regression trees, based on the same physical model, can further improve the accuracy in energy forecasting and significantly outperform standard versions of the same machine learning models. In addition to point predictions of the energy consumption, we develop a framework for estimating the corresponding uncertainty in the form of predicted standard deviation. Our results show that all of the models learn to estimate the uncertainty reasonably well.
In physically dominated machining processes, experimental datasets are small, expensive, and material-specific; in this regime, data curation, evaluation design, and the form of physics integration can matter as much as the learning algorithm. Using an abrasive waterjet milling d…
Machine Learning (ML) algorithms have been widely used to estimate agricultural variables across diverse contexts. However, because the quantity and quality of training data strongly influence performance of ML algorithms, their use can be constrained by limited or incomplete ref…
Remote sensing has become an increasingly valuable tool for agricultural monitoring, particularly through the use of publicly available satellite imagery. However, effectively integrating domain knowledge into machine learning methods remains challenging. This study presents a re…
Machine-learning force fields (MLFFs) are reliable only near their training distribution, making efficient construction of diverse training sets a major bottleneck for both train-from-scratch and foundation fine-tuning workflows. Active learning can reduce this cost, but standard…
Global fits in high energy physics and cosmology often face the challenge of exploring high-dimensional parameter spaces with computationally expensive or topologically complex likelihood functions. In this work, we present a Machine Learning framework designed to emulate complex…
Accurate modeling of the divertor temperature field is essential for preventing material melting and damage and for extending the service life of fusion devices. However, conventional numerical methods, such as the Finite Element Method (FEM), are computationally expensive and th…
