The results show how the time-varying water level in the tanks can be captured with the digital twin output functions, and a comparison is made with three different weighting choice criteria.Prof. David Wagg\u00a0is a Professor of Nonlinear Dynamics at the University of Sheffield. His research is focused on understanding and controlling nonlinear structural dynamics. Some of his current research activities relate to, so called, \"digital twins\", where data and models are combined to create a \"virtual duplicate\" of the structure of interest.The Machine Learning Seminar is a regular weekly seminar series aiming to harbor presentations of fundamental and methodological advances in data science and machine learning as well as to discuss application areas presented by domain specialists. The uniqueness of the seminar series lies in its attempt to extract common denominators between domain areas and to challenge existing methodologies. The focus is thus on theory and applications to a wide range of domains, including Computational Physics and Engineering, Computational Biology and Life Sciences, Computational Behavioural and Social Sciences.\u00a0More information about the ML Seminar, together with video recordings from past meetings you will find here: https:\/\/legato-team.eu\/seminars\/To register please send a mail to\u00a0Dr. Jakub Lengiewicz.","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/fr\/events\/machine-learning-seminar-meeting-a-time-evolving-digital-twin-tool-for-engineering-dynamics-applications\/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"fr-FR","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/fr\/events\/machine-learning-seminar-meeting-a-time-evolving-digital-twin-tool-for-engineering-dynamics-applications\/"]}]},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"fr-FR","@id":"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/fr\/events\/machine-learning-seminar-meeting-a-time-evolving-digital-twin-tool-for-engineering-dynamics-applications\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/11\/machine_learning_seminar_meeting_a_time_evolving_digital_twin_tool_for_engineering_dynamics_applications.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/11\/machine_learning_seminar_meeting_a_time_evolving_digital_twin_tool_for_engineering_dynamics_applications.jpg","width":800,"height":600},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/fr\/events\/machine-learning-seminar-meeting-a-time-evolving-digital-twin-tool-for-engineering-dynamics-applications\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/fr\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Events","item":"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/fr\/events\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Machine Learning Seminar meeting: A time-evolving digital twin tool for engineering dynamics applications"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/fr\/#website","url":"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/fr\/","name":"Uni.lu","description":"Universit\u00e9 du Luxembourg","publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/fr\/#organization"},"alternateName":"Universit\u00e9 du Luxembourg","potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/fr\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}],"inLanguage":"fr-FR"},{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/fr\/#organization","name":"Universit\u00e9 du Luxembourg","alternateName":"Uni.lu","url":"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/fr\/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"fr-FR","@id":"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/fr\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/03\/03120045\/UNIV_SM-Profile_1600x1600px-scaled.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/03\/03120045\/UNIV_SM-Profile_1600x1600px-scaled.jpg","width":2560,"height":2560,"caption":"Universit\u00e9 du Luxembourg"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/fr\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/"},"sameAs":["https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/uni.lu","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/school\/university-of-luxembourg\/","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/uni.lu","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@uni_lu","https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/University_of_Luxembourg"]}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events\/9122"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/events"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9122"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events\/9122\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9123"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9122"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"events-topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events-topic?post=9122"},{"taxonomy":"events-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events-type?post=9122"},{"taxonomy":"organisation","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/organisation?post=9122"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
