Abstract
With access to fast computers and efficient machine learning tools, it is of interest to use machine learning to develop surrogate models from complex physics-based models. Next, a hybrid model is a combination model where a data driven model is built to describe the difference between an imperfect physics-based/surrogate model and experimental data. Availability of Big Data makes it possible to gradually improve on a hybrid model as more data become available. In this paper, an overview is given of relevant ideas from model approximation/data driven models for dynamic systems, and machine learning via artificial neural networks. To illustrate how the ideas can be implemented in practice, a simple introduction to package Flux for language Julia is given. Several types of surrogate models are developed for a simple, illustrative system. Finally, the development of a hybrid model is illustrated. Emphasis is put on ideas related to Digital Twins for control.
