The goal of the DataSim project is to further develop the theoretical understanding, applications and software tools related to the hybrid models combining partial differential equations (PDE) with neural networks (NN). The topics to be investigated include for example (i) stability of the learned models based on the chosen NN architecture and PDE discretization, (ii) multilevel/one-shot training approaches, (iii) applications of hybrid models in optimal control and links to physics-informed deep reinforcement learning or (iv) using hybrid models to improve weather prediction models in partnership with the Norwegian Meteorological Institute.
