Analysis of complex physical systems with information theory and statistical learning
Title : Analysis of complex physical systems with information theory and statistical learning
Asbtract : Characterizing complex systems where many intricate physical processes are acting is a challenge that I propose to address with the analysis of large datasets. While physical models can describe the behavior of such systems in a broad sense, complex systems may depend on many disregarded variables, and therefore may not be accurately described by these general models. Statistical learning helps to build models that describe with a higher accuracy these complex systems, taking into account the contextual properties of each system individually, with the drawback of being poorly interpretable and having a low potential for generalization. My research focuses on building hybrid models based on statistical learning and information theory, constrained by the a priori knowledge on the underlying physics. Following the main idea of statistical learning, I work on learning relevant representations of multi-scale and multi-physics data to solve a problem of interest (detection, imaging, monitoring). With a focus on wave physics in complex media, I will show that we can improve the characterization of random wavefields for source detection, separation and location, and structural imaging that can find application in various domains. I will illustrate the different methods with examples from geophysics data (seismic, geodesic) in volcanic and tectonic settings, lab experiments on metamaterials, and medical imaging.
