Physics Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) [Physics Informed Machine Learning]

Video Description

This video introduces PINNs, or Physics Informed Neural Networks. PINNs are a simple modification of a neural network that adds a PDE in the loss function to promote solutions that satisfy known physics. For example, if we wish to model a fluid flow field and we know it is incompressible, we can add the divergence of the field in the loss function to drive it towards zero. This approach relies on the automatic differentiability in neural networks (i.e., backpropagation) to compute partial derivatives used in the PDE loss function.
