- Abstract -
In offline learning settings, optimization without safety conservatism leads to safety violations, requiring the identification of cost upper bounds or the introduction of penalty terms. Previously, this was done by data perturbation with a bi-level structure which may introduce instability in high-dimensional tasks. In this work, we identify potentially hazardous regions based on the sparsity of given data.
- Contribution -
Suggest a simple alternative way to introduce safety-conservatism
Provide empirical studies showing simplicity and promising performance.

Engineering Application
- Abstract -
Poor air-fuel mixing causes deterioration in combustion engines’ performance and emissions. While designers rely on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling to understand the air-fuel mixing process, there are recognized shortcomings in current CFD predictions due to a lack of phenomenological models. To overcome this, we employed ML to efficiently predict the gasoline fuel sprays under realistic engine conditions.
- Contribution -
Show the potential of using the ML algorithm for spray prediction as an alternative to CFD.
Suggest the general framework and conditions to create realistic engine experimental conditions in virtual software for ML integration.

- Abstract -
Employing wave equations as a Partial Differential Equation (PDE) is common in the oil exploration industry, where waves are utilized to estimate the location and quantity of oil. However, the disturbances and instability in estimating wave oscillations pose challenges in achieving accurate estimations. Therefore, we propose various Richardson Extrapolation interpolation schemes to offer robust and precise solutions for practical applications in the industry.
- Contribution -
Provide an overview of Richardson Extrapolation in wave estimation
Analyze key aspects of using interpolation schemes for higher-order solutions that achieve super-convergence over others.
