Abstract: In most engineering applications, strong prior knowledge is present in the form of pre-existing models, provided by system designers and engineers, even though they do not capture all the nonlinear dynamics of the real-life system. These models are currently not accounted for during black-box system identification / data-driven modelling tasks.

Abstract: Artificial intelligence is undergoing a profound transformation, driven by recent advances in AI agents, multimodal foundation models, and embodied intelligence.

Abstract: Earth system models typically have coarse horizontal resolutions of the order of tens of kilometers, which do not resolve many of the processes occurring in the Earth system, such as turbulence in the atmospheric boundary layer.
