Ep.5 What is foundation model - drawing from numerical simulation
03 Jun 2025
When we talk about foundation models, what are we talking about? This is a reflection piece on foundation models by drawing an analogy from numerical solutions in fluid dynamics. This paper explore the challenges in building these models for science and engineering and introduce a promising framework called the Data-Driven Finite Element Method (DD-FEM), which aims to bridge traditional numerical methods with modern AI to provide a rigorous foundation for this exciting new field.Choi, Y., Cheung, S.
