This paper presents a novel generative model to synthesize fluid simulations from a set of reduced parameters. A convolutional neural network is trained on a collection of discrete, parameterizable fluid simulation velocity fields. Due to the capability of deep learning architectures to learn representative features of the data, our generative model is able to accurately approximate the training data set, while providing plausible interpolated in-betweens. The proposed generative model is optimized for fluids by a novel loss function that guarantees divergence-free velocity fields at all times. In addition, we demonstrate that we can handle complex parameterizations in reduced spaces, and advance simulations in time by integrating in the latent space with a second network. Our method models a wide variety of fluid behaviors, thus enabling applications such as fast construction of simulations, interpolation of fluids with different parameters, time re-sampling, latent space simulations, and compression of fluid simulation data. Reconstructed velocity fields are generated up to 700x faster than re-simulating the data with the underlying CPU solver, while achieving compression rates of up to 1300x.

Convolutional neural networks were recently employed to fully reconstruct fluid simulation data from a set of reduced parameters. However, since (de-)convolutions traditionally trained with supervised L1-loss functions do not discriminate between low and high frequencies in the data, the error is not minimized efficiently for higher bands. This directly correlates with the quality of the perceived results, since missing high frequency details are easily noticeable. In this paper, we analyze the reconstruction quality of generative networks and present a frequency-aware loss function that is able to focus on specific bands of the dataset during training time. We show that our approach improves reconstruction quality of fluid simulation data in mid-frequency bands, yielding perceptually better results while requiring comparable training time.
Deep generative models of 3D shapes have received a great deal of research interest. Yet, almost all of them generate discrete shape representations, such as voxels, point clouds, and polygon meshes. We present the first 3D generative model for a drastically different shape representation --- describing a shape as a sequence of computer-aided design (CAD) operations. Unlike meshes and point clouds, CAD models encode the user creation process of 3D shapes, widely used in numerous industrial and engineering design tasks. However, the sequential and irregular structure of CAD operations poses significant challenges for existing 3D generative models. Drawing an analogy between CAD operations and natural language, we propose a CAD generative network based on the Transformer. We demonstrate the performance of our model for both shape autoencoding and random shape generation. To train our network, we create a new CAD dataset consisting of 178,238 models and their CAD construction sequences. We have made this dataset publicly available to promote future research on this topic.
A deep generative model such as a GAN learns to model a rich set of semantic and physical rules about the target distribution, but up to now, it has been obscure how such rules are encoded in the network, or how a rule could be changed. In this paper, we introduce a new problem setting: manipulation of specific rules encoded by a deep generative model. To address the problem, we propose a formulation in which the desired rule is changed by manipulating a layer of a deep network as a linear associative memory. We derive an algorithm for modifying one entry of the associative memory, and we demonstrate that several interesting structural rules can be located and modified within the layers of state-of-the-art generative models. We present a user interface to enable users to interactively change the rules of a generative model to achieve desired effects, and we show several proof-of-concept applications. Finally, results on multiple datasets demonstrate the advantage of our method against standard fine-tuning methods and edit transfer algorithms.
The curse of dimensionality is a widely known issue in reinforcement learning (RL). In the tabular setting where the state space $mathcal{S}$ and the action space $mathcal{A}$ are both finite, to obtain a nearly optimal policy with sampling access to a generative model, the minimax optimal sample complexity scales linearly with $|mathcal{S}|times|mathcal{A}|$, which can be prohibitively large when $mathcal{S}$ or $mathcal{A}$ is large. This paper considers a Markov decision process (MDP) that admits a set of state-action features, which can linearly express (or approximate) its probability transition kernel. We show that a model-based approach (resp.$~$Q-learning) provably learns an $varepsilon$-optimal policy (resp.$~$Q-function) with high probability as soon as the sample size exceeds the order of $frac{K}{(1-gamma)^{3}varepsilon^{2}}$ (resp.$~$$frac{K}{(1-gamma)^{4}varepsilon^{2}}$), up to some logarithmic factor. Here $K$ is the feature dimension and $gammain(0,1)$ is the discount factor of the MDP. Both sample complexity bounds are provably tight, and our result for the model-based approach matches the minimax lower bound. Our results show that for arbitrarily large-scale MDP, both the model-based approach and Q-learning are sample-efficient when $K$ is relatively small, and hence the title of this paper.
Multi-scale, multi-fidelity numerical simulations form the pillar of scientific applications related to numerically modeling fluids. However, simulating the fluid behavior characterized by the non-linear Navier Stokes equations are often times computational expensive. Physics informed machine learning methods is a viable alternative and as such has seen great interest in the community [refer to Kutz (2017); Brunton et al. (2020); Duraisamy et al. (2019) for a detailed review on this topic]. For full physics emulators, the cost of network inference is often trivial. However, in the current paradigm of data-driven fluid mechanics models are built as surrogates for complex sub-processes. These models are then used in conjunction to the Navier Stokes solvers, which makes ML model inference an important factor in the terms of algorithmic latency. With the ever growing size of networks, and often times overparameterization, exploring effective network compression techniques becomes not only relevant but critical for engineering systems design. In this study, we explore the applicability of pruning and quantization (FP32 to int8) methods for one such application relevant to modeling fluid turbulence. Post-compression, we demonstrate the improvement in the accuracy of network predictions and build intuition in the process by comparing the compressed to the original network state.
