2. Reconstructing DM back in time
3. Simulating what you need (and sometimes what you want)
Guided simulations with fuzzy constraints
4. Machine learned subgrid models
1. Predictive Simulators learned subgrid models from high resolution simulations
Hydro simulator
Subgrid model
Solution: train on the fly
2. Data-driven subgrid models learned subgrid models from high dimensional observations
Hydro simulator
Subgrid model
What is the space of plausible solutions and how do we search it?
Are these models predictive?
