    A Convex Route to Thermoelasticity: Learning Internal Energy and Dissipation

    Researchers have developed a novel physics-based neural network framework for modeling thermomechanics, focusing on internal energy and dissipation potentials rather than traditional Helmholtz energy. This approach simplifies the incorporation of thermodynamic principles and ensures thermodynamic admissibility by construction. The framework utilizes input convex neural networks to represent internal energy and dissipation, embedding objectivity and material symmetry directly into the architecture. The system has demonstrated accurate performance on synthetic and experimental datasets for various materials and thermomechanical responses. AI

    IMPACT This framework could advance the accuracy and efficiency of simulating material behavior in engineering applications.

    A lift for input-convex neural network training

    Researchers have introduced a novel training technique called "the lift" for input-convex neural networks (ICNNs), which are crucial for tasks like density estimation and Bayesian inference. Traditional methods struggle with the non-negativity constraint on inter-layer weights, leading to stalled training. The proposed "lift" method uses an unconstrained hypernetwork to generate these weights, introducing stochasticity that smooths the loss landscape and enables deeper convergence. This approach has demonstrated superior performance over existing methods on various benchmarks, including image-flavored latents and high-dimensional tabular data. AI

    IMPACT This new training technique could improve performance and convergence for specific types of neural networks used in complex inference tasks.
