Empowering engineering with data, machine learning and artificial intelligence: a short introductive review
Résumé
Simulation-based engineering has been a major protagonist of the technology of the last century. However, models based on well established physics fail sometimes to describe the observed reality. They often exhibit noticeable differences between physics-based model predictions and measurements. This difference is due to several reasons: practical (uncertainty and variability of the parameters involved in the models) and epistemic (the models themselves are in many cases a crude approximation of a rich reality). On the other side, approaching the reality from experimental data represents a valuable approach because of its generality. However, this approach embraces many difficulties: model and experimental variability; the need of a large number of measurements to accurately represent rich solutions (extremely nonlinear or fluctuating), the associate cost and technical difficulties to perform them; and finally, the difficulty to explain and certify, both constituting key aspects in most engineering applications. This work overviews some of the most remarkable progress in the field in recent years.
