Title: Generalization Equations for Machine Learners Based on Physical and Abstract Laws

Conference ·
OSTI ID:1823318

The physical and abstract laws derived from the first principles have been recently exploited to customize and sharpen machine learning (ML) methods and also derive their generalization equations. These laws often encapsulate knowledge that complements datasets and ML models. We present a generic framework that uses these laws to provide ML codes that are transferable across multiple areas, including data transport infrastructures and thermal hydraulics analytics of nuclear reactors. By anchoring on datasets from these areas and the statistical generalization theory, we present a rigorous approach to co-develop ML solutions and the generalization equations that characterize them, by exploiting the structure and constraints from the laws. We present illustrative examples using practical problems from existing literature on the performance characterization of data transport infrastructures, and the sensor error and power level estimation in nuclear reactor systems using sensor measurements of primary and secondary coolant systems, respectively.
