Data-driven forward and inverse analysis of two-dimensional soil consolidation using physics-informed neural network by Wang, Yu, Shi, Chao, Shi, Jiangwei, Lu, Hu

“…Employing machine learning algorithms to forecast the behavior of nonlinear spatiotemporal systems, such as soil consolidation induced by land reclamation, has been popular in recent years. Although pure data-driven models demonstrate strong performance within their training domain, i.e., in-sample prediction, they lack interpretability and might have poor generalization outside the training domain, i.e., out-of-sample prediction, particularly when the observed geodata is limited. …”
