Practical multi-fidelity machine learning: Fusion of deterministic and Bayesian models

Published in Computational Mechanics, 2026

Multi-fidelity machine learning methods address the accuracy-efficiency trade-off by integrating scarce, resource-intensive high-fidelity data with abundant but less accurate low-fidelity data. This work proposes a practical strategy that combines a deterministic low-fidelity model, transfer learning, and a Bayesian residual model to provide predictions with uncertainty quantification.
