Efficient and Accurate Force Replay in Cosmological-baryonic Simulations by Arpit Arora, Robyn Sanderson, Christopher Regan, Nicolás Garavito-Camargo, Emily Bregou, Nondh Panithanpaisal, Andrew Wetzel, Emily C. Cunningham, Sarah R. Loebman, Adriana Dropulic, Nora Shipp

“…The majority of orbits recovered using the models exhibit positional errors ≤10% for 2–3 orbital periods, with higher errors for orbits that spend more time near the galactic center. Approximate integrals of motion are retrieved with high accuracy even with a larger potential sampling interval of 200 Myr. …”

Generative Inverse Design of Metamaterials with Functional Responses by Interpretable Learning by Wei (Wayne) Chen, Rachel Sun, Doksoo Lee, Carlos M. Portela, Wei Chen

“…RIGID leverages the interpretability of a random forest‐based “design → response” forward model, eliminating the need for a more complex “response → design” inverse model. Based on the likelihood of target satisfaction derived from the trained random forest, one can sample a desired number of design solutions using Markov chain Monte Carlo methods. …”
