ROM-FOM Interface Optimization for Efficient Thermomechanical Simulations of Electronic Components

Model order reduction techniques are developed and utilized to make numerical simulations more efficient. The use of Reduce Order Models (ROM) also enables data exchange with external parties without disclosing the sensitive information present in a Full-Order Model (FOM). It is crucial to optimize for both the efficiency and accuracy of a ROM...

Dynamic Anomaly Detection with High-fidelity Simulators: A Convex Optimization Approach

The main objective of this article is to develop scalable dynamic anomaly detectors with high-fidelity simulators of power systems. On the one hand, models in high-fidelity simulators are typically 'intractable' if one opts to describe them in a mathematical formulation in order to apply existing model-based approaches from the anomaly...

Short-Term Traffic Flow Prediction Based on the Efficient Hinging Hyperplanes Neural Network

Traffic flow (TF) prediction is an important and yet a challenging task in transportation systems, since the TF involves high nonlinearities and is affected by many elements. Recently, neural networks have attracted much attention for TF prediction, but they are commonly black boxes with complex architectures and difficult to be interpreted,...

Estimating Single-Epoch Integrated Atmospheric Refractivity from InSAR for Assimilation in Numerical Weather Models

Numerical weather prediction (NWP) models are used to predict the weather based on current observations in combination with physical and mathematical models. Yet, they are limited by the spatial density and the accuracy of the available observations. Satellite radar interferometry (InSAR) is known to be extremely sensitive to the 3D...

MOHA: A Multi-Mode Hybrid Automaton Model for Learning Car-Following Behaviors

This paper proposes a novel hybrid model for learning discrete and continuous dynamics of car-following behaviors. Multiple modes representing driving patterns are identified by partitioning the model into groups of states. The model is visualizable and interpretable for car-following behavior recognition, traffic simulation, and human-like...

A generalized model for short-term forecasting of solar irradiance

In recent years, as the share of solar power in the electrical grid has been increasing, accurate methods for forecasting solar irradiance have become necessary to manage the electrical grid. More specifically, as solar generators are geographically dispersed, it is very important to have general models that can predict solar irradiance without...
