How to Learn Physics: A Practical Review of Scientific Machine Learning
摘要
Modeling physical systems with deep learning-based methods has received increasing attention, driven by promising results in domains such as weather forecasting, solid and fluid mechanics, chemistry or biology. This emerging paradigm, often referred to as scientific machine learning, encompasses a wide range of applications, each with distinct methodologies and best practices. In this work, we review the core components of physics-based deep learning with a focus on supervised learning for surrogate modeling, where deep learning models are trained to approximate the input-output behavior of physical systems using labeled data and, when available, additional physical knowledge. Rather than providing an exhaustive survey, we adopt a practitioner-oriented perspective and identify the key factors that govern model design and training. In particular, we propose a framework to guide the selection of appropriate architectures and training strategies, based on the characteristics of the target problem and the available computational resources.
