Abstract: We present a new paradigm in solving linear and nonlinear PDEs from noisy measurements without the use of any classical numerical discretization. Instead, we infer the solution of PDEs from noisy data, which can represent measurements of variable fidelity. The key idea is to encode the structure of the PDE into prior distributions and train Bayesian nonparametric regression models on available noisy data. The resulting posterior distributions can be used to predict the PDE solution with quantified uncertainty, efficiently identify extrema via Bayesian optimization, and acquire new data via active learning.
