Physiology-informed regularisation enables training of universal differential equation systems for biological applications. by Max de Rooij, Balázs Erdős, Natal A W van Riel, Shauna D O'Donovan

“…The integration of neural networks and mechanistic models, forming universal differential equation (UDE) models, enables the automated learning of unknown model terms with less data than neural networks alone. Nevertheless, estimating parameters for these hybrid models remains difficult with sparse data and limited sampling durations that are common in biological applications. …”
