1Reliability
If traditional simulations are used to model complex physical systems, then accuracy and reliability are maintained, but computational resources, power consumption, and time requirements increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional numerical simulation methods (mechanical computational systems) with a machine learning model that has been trained to approximate simulation results. The ML model learns the mapping from input parameters to simulation outputs, substituting the computationally intensive numerical solvers with a trained neural network that provides similar accuracy with significantly reduced computational overhead and power consumption.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary training of the machine learning model using traditional simulations to generate training data. Once trained, the model can rapidly predict simulation results without requiring the full computational resources of traditional simulations. This preliminary action creates a surrogate model that captures the essential physics while enabling fast, low-power inference for subsequent simulations.
2Measurement precision
If traditional simulations are used for high-dimensional, time-dependent physical systems, then accurate results are obtained, but computational time and resource requirements become prohibitive
Solution Approach 1:
The patent substitutes traditional numerical solvers with a machine learning model trained to approximate their behavior. The ML model learns the complex mappings in high-dimensional, time-dependent physical systems during training, then provides rapid predictions during inference, maintaining accuracy while reducing computational time from hours or days to seconds or milliseconds.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a surrogate copy of the traditional simulation system using a machine learning model. This copy is trained to replicate the input-output behavior of the original simulation across the relevant parameter space. Once trained, the copy can provide simulation results without requiring the full computational resources or time of the original system, enabling rapid exploration of parameter spaces.
3Productivity
If machine learning approaches are applied to physical system modelling, then computational speed and resource efficiency improve, but the ability to handle high-dimensional, time-dependent systems is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent addresses the dimensionality limitation by incorporating time as an explicit dimension in the machine learning model architecture. The model processes spatio-temporal data by treating time steps as sequential inputs, enabling it to handle time-dependent physical systems. This dimensional extension allows the ML approach to maintain computational efficiency while gaining the capability to model complex, evolving physical phenomena.

AI summary
To assist a machine learning environment in modelling a complex physical simulation (such as a numerical simulation or physics simulation), a correlation between input coordinates is determined. For example, a discrete solution (e.g., the correlation between the plurality of input coordinates) may be obtained from a non-discrete (e.g., continuous) physics space by performing a conversion from the physics space to a grid space. This correlation is input along with the coordinates into a machine learning environment to obtain results from the simulation. As a result, instead of implementing resource and power-intensive simulations to solve these computation problems, a machine learning environment implemented using less power and computing resources may solve these computation problems in a faster and more efficient manner.
