Topical Collection Information
Dear Colleagues,
Multiscale Computation and Machine Learning play an increasingly important role in many applications. Many real-world applications rely on multiscale simulations.These simulations often use pre-computations to train macroscale quantities. In this regard, machine learning approaches can be used to accelerate and enhance multiscale simulations. On the other hand, multiscale models and simulations can be used in designing machine learning algorithms that are suitable for solving challenging applications. This collection aims at creating a common platform for publishing papers on multiscale computation, machine learning, and their combination.
The aim of this Topical Collection is to bring together recent scientific advances, reviews, communications, and short notes dealing with multiscale simulations and machine learning.

In this paper, we consider the poroelasticity problem in heterogeneous media. The mathematical model is described by a coupled system of equations for displacement and pressure in the coupled dual continuum porous media. We propose a new method based on hybrid explicit–implicit (HEI) learning to solve the poroelasticity problem in dual continuum heterogeneous media. We use a finite element method with standard linear basis functions for spatial approximation. We apply the explicit–implicit time scheme, where the explicit scheme is used for the low-conductive continuum and the implicit scheme for the high-conductive. The fixed-strain splitting scheme is used to accelerate the computation and decouple the flow and mechanics problems. The main idea of the proposed method is partial learning of particular degrees of freedom of the high-conductive continuum’s pressure (implicit part of the flow). First, we train a deep neural network (DNN) to obtain values of the implicit part of the flow at some spatial points at some time moments. Then, we apply the Discrete Empirical Interpolation Method (DEIM) combined with Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) to restore the complete implicit parts and perform linear interpolation over time. Consequently, we treat the high-conductive continuum’s pressure as a known function and use it to find the other continuum’s pressure and displacements. Numerical results for the two-dimensional model problem are presented. The results demonstrate that the proposed method provides fast and accurate predictions.

In the paper, we study a design and stability of contrast-independent partially explicit time discretizations for Quasi-Gas-Dynamics (QGD) Equations in multiscale high-contrast media. In our previous works, we have introduced contrast-independent partially explicit time discretizations. In this paper, we extend these ideas to multiscale QGD problems. Because of high contrast, explicit methods require a very small time stepping. By designing appropriate spatial splitting and temporal splitting, partially explicit methods remove this constraint. The proposed partially explicit time discretization consists of two steps. First, we split the space into contrast dependent (fast) and contrast independent (slow) components on a coarse grid that is much larger compared to spatial heterogeneities. Secondly, we design a temporal splitting algorithm in a such way that it is stable and the time step is independent of the contrast and only depends on the coarse mesh size. Using proposed method, a few degrees of freedom are treated implicitly and the approach is mostly explicit. We prove that the proposed splitting is unconditionally stable under some suitable conditions formulated for the second space (slow). We present numerical results and show that the proposed methods provide results similar to implicit methods with the time step that is independent of the contrast.

Reconstruction-based approaches to anomaly detection tend to fall short when applied to complex datasets with target classes that possess high inter-class variance. Similar to the idea of self-taught learning used in transfer learning, many domains are rich with similar unlabeled datasets that could be leveraged as a proxy for out-of-distribution samples. In this paper we introduce the latent-insensitive autoencoder (LIS-AE) where unlabeled data from a similar domain are utilized as negative examples to shape the latent layer (bottleneck) of a regular autoencoder such that it is only capable of reconstructing one task. We provide theoretical justification for the proposed training process and loss functions along with an extensive ablation study highlighting important aspects of our model. We test our model in multiple anomaly detection settings presenting quantitative and qualitative analysis showcasing the significant performance improvement of our model for anomaly detection tasks.

In this work, we design a multiscale simulation method based on the Generalized Multiscale Finite Element Method (GMsFEM) for numerical modeling of fluid seepage under permafrost condition in heterogeneous soils. The complex multiphysical model consists of the coupled Richards equation and the Stefan problem. These problems often contain heterogeneities due to variations of soil properties. For this reason, we design coarse-grid spaces for the multiphysical problem and design special algorithms for solving the overall problem. A numerical method has been tested on two- and three-dimensional model problems. A a quasi-real geometry with a complex surface is considered for the three-dimensional case. We demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method using several representative numerical results.
