Researchers have developed a new framework for estimating rare events in high-dimensional systems driven by partial differential equations (PDEs). This method refines a neural network-based surrogate model locally, guided by an evolving proposal distribution that focuses on regions relevant to failure. By balancing proximity to the estimated failure boundary and sample diversity, the approach aims to reduce the number of expensive high-fidelity evaluations needed. Numerical experiments demonstrate that this surrogate-assisted adaptive importance sampling achieves accuracy comparable to traditional methods while significantly reducing computational cost. AI
