Journal Club for May 2022: Machine Learning in Mechanics: curating datasets and defining challenge problems
Over the past several years, machine learning (ML) applied to problems in mechanics has massively grown in popularity. Here is a figure from a slide that I made in early 2020 referencing a few examples from the literature — already this slide feels out of date! All of these authors (and many many others) have published new papers on this topic.
As more researchers apply ML methods to problems in mechanics, I believe two methodological questions have become increasingly important:
