Real-time fusion of multi-source monitoring data with geotechnical numerical model results using data-driven and physics-informed sparse dictionary learning
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Development of digital twins is emerging rapidly in geotechnical engineering, and it often requires real-time updating of numerical models (e.g., finite element model) using multiple sources of monitoring data (e.g., settlement and pore water pressure data). Conventional model updating, or calibration, often involves repeated executions of the numerical model, using monitoring data from a specific source or at limited spatial locations only. This leads to a critical research need of real-time model updating and predictions using a numerical model improved continuously by multi-source monitoring data. To address this need, a physics-informed machine learning method called multi-source sparse dictionary learning (MS-SDL) is proposed in this study. Originated from signal decomposition and compression, MS-SDL utilizes results from a suite of numerical models as basis functions, or dictionary atoms, and employs multi-source monitoring data to select a limited number of important atoms for predicting multiple, spatiotemporally varying geotechnical responses. As monitoring data are collected sequentially, no repeated evaluations of computational numerical models are needed, and an automatic and real-time model calibration is achieved for continuously improving model predictions. A real project in Hong Kong is presented to illustrate the proposed approach. Effect of monitoring data from different sources is also investigated.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
