The current paper introduces the GraphNARX model, a graph-based nonlinear autoregressive exogenous model for structural dynamics. The model is built to account for the geometry of structures and to model dynamic behaviour as the interaction between elements of the structure. Similar to other types of NARX models, GraphNARX is used for system identification. Nodal attributes of the graph encode past displacements and nodal forces, and the output of the model is the next-timestep displacement. The graph formulation of the model allows it to generalise to structures of different dimensions and degrees of freedom. Moreover, because graph-learning is performed locally between the nodes, the GraphNARX model can also learn to infer displacements of nodes for which data are not available, i.e.\ to perform virtual sensing. The proposed model's performance is evaluated in a system-identification framework and a virtual-sensing framework, and achieves good accuracy and exhibits generalisation capabilities to structures of different sizes.

The possibility of inferring high-dimensional data inference in a model that consists of a prior and an auxiliary differentiable constraint given some additional information is considered, thereby allowing a range of potential applications in adapting models to new domains and tasks.

It is proved that any global minimizer of the trajectory balance objective can define a policy that samples exactly from the target distribution, and empirically demonstrate the benefits of the trajectories balance objective for GFlowNet convergence, diversity of generated samples, and robustness to long action sequenc...

An algorithm is proposed which leverages disentangled semantic factors to generate adversarial perturbation by altering controlled semantic attributes to fool the learner towards various "adversarial" targets.

This work proposes a HALO that directly maximizes the utility of generations instead of maximizing the log-likelihood of preferences, and suggests that the best loss depends on the inductive biases most appropriate for a given setting, an oft-overlooked consideration.
A machine-learning approach called CheMeleon provides a practical way to develop new drugs or other molecules with much less detailed, expensive experimentation.
