Complexity-Informed Machine Learning (CIML)

Complexity-Informed Machine Learning (CIML)

PIML (physics-informed machine learning) is now being widely accepted, that is, ML indeed should respect physics. But should ML also respect chemistry, physiology, psychology ... all sciences? In particular, the reason we need ML is because the problems to solve are complex. We already advocated the triangle of "Complexity-Inverse Power Law-Fractional Calculus (C-IPL-FC)" thus it is natural to expect ML should also respect the complexity nature of the problems to solve. This page is to advocate and document Complexity-Informed Machine Learning (CIML) related research. [see also 2021 CCNC plenary talk slides ppt]
