Physics-Informed Neural ODEs for IBR Dynamics
Neural Network Foundations
C3-02 · Module outline
Understand the function approximator used to learn a vector field.
Learning objectives
- Explain an MLP forward pass and training loss.
- Trace a simple gradient through the network.
Concept outline
- Features, activations, and capacity
- Losses, gradients, and optimization
- Static approximation as a bridge to dynamics
Experiment direction · Planned
Simulation and code experiment
Fit a nonlinear function and vary the hidden width.
Model explanations, parameter settings, runnable code, and result interpretation will be developed here.
Practice and discussion
Explain what the network output should represent in a dynamic model.
Worked solutions and feedback will accompany the full lesson.
Material preparation
Related notes, models, or notebooks are available and need adaptation into a web lesson and experiment.
Adapt the existing material into a lesson, a reproducible experiment, and worked practice.
