Adaptive Computing and multi-fidelity learning

We describe our ongoing research in adaptive computing. Our goal is to use a combination of low- and high-fidelity simulation models to enable computationally efficient optimization and uncertainty quantification. We develop optimization formulations that take into account the compute resources currently available, which act as a constraint with regards to the fidelity level simulation we can run while maximizing information gain. We will discuss a few application examples that can benefit from this approach, especially when considering challenges arising in scaling up experiments and simulations.
