In that context, the elaboration of metabolic networks is essential despite the challenges underlying their reconstruction. While the development of genome-scale networks is computationally costly, small networks are often oversimplified, limiting their use in industrial applications. For this purpose, this paper suggests a method to identify metabolic networks of intermediate size by combining biological knowledge and a series of constraint-based methods in an iterative strategy allowing the refinement of the network definition. The present study focuses on the mathematical modeling of photosynthetic eukaryotic organisms and leads to a detailed network including energy aspects such as the proton motive force.

In contrast, this contribution leverages low-fidelity data queried on a larger feature space to realize data-driven multi-fidelity surrogate models with a fallback option in regimes where high-fidelity data is unavailable. Accordingly, methodologies are introduced to fulfill this task and effectively resolve the contradictions, that inherently arise in multi-fidelity databases. In particular, the databases considered in this contribution feature two levels of fidelity with a defined hierarchy, where data from a high-fidelity source is, when available, prioritized over low-fidelity data. The proposed surrogate model architectures are illustrated first with a toy problem and further examined in the context of an engineering use case in autonomous driving, where the human-seat interaction is evaluated using a data-driven surrogate model, that is trained through an active learning approach. It is shown, that two proposed architectures achieve an improvement in accuracy on high-fidelity data while simultaneously performing well where high-fidelity data is unavailable compared to a naive approach.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":37894,"journal":{"name":"IFAC-PapersOnLine","volume":"59 1","pages":"Pages 337-342"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143704265","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
