Dear all,
Each year, the AI and Mathematics network (AIM<https://aimath.nl/>) organizes a track at the conference ICT.OPEN<https://ictopen.nl/>. The next edition will take place on April 10 and 11, 2024, in the Jaarbeurs in Utrecht. The goal of the track is to bring together mathematicians and computer scientists who are based in the Netherlands and are working on the foundations of AI. A detailed track description can be found here<https://ictopen.nl/track-fundamental-sciences-in-ai>.
We would like to invite you to submit an abstract to present your work within the track. The details of the call can be found here<https://ictopen.nl/call-for-abstracts-nwo-ictopen2024>. The submission deadline is 16 January 2024.
Best wishes,
Sjoerd Dirksen, Tim van Erven, Silke Glas, Mihaela Mitici

Title: From linear to nonlinear model order reduction: some results and perspectives
Abstract: Non-affine parametric dependencies, nonlinearities, and
advection-dominated regimes of the model of interest can result in a slow
Kolmogorov n-width decay, which precludes the realization of efficient
reduced-order models based on Proper Orthogonal Decomposition. Among the
possible solutions, there are purely data-driven methods that leverage
nonlinear approximation techniques such as autoencoders and their variants
to learn a latent representation of the dynamical system, and then evolve
it in time with another architecture. Despite their success in many
applications where standard linear techniques fail, more has to be done to
increase the interpretability of the results, especially outside the
training range and not in regimes characterized by an abundance of data.
Not to mention that none of the knowledge on the physics of the model is
exploited during the predictive phase. In this talk, in order to overcome
these weaknesses, I introduce a variant of the nonlinear manifold method
introduced in previous works with hyper-reduction achieved through reduced
over-collocation and teacher-student training of a reduced decoder. We test
the methodology on different problems with increasing complexity.
