It is part of the COR System, available at https://cor.crmodels.org, and it also functions as a standalone command line tool. The former tool was published in 2022. We report the new version of the tool status with improved performance, precision, new functions/features, and refactored code.

In order to identify the parameters, a set of observations is available and an Inverse Problem is formulated. Identifying the parameters from the observations is often a challenging task, especially when the model is expensive to evaluate. This is the case for Partial Differential Equations models, where numerical simulations which are both inexact and computationally expensive are required to obtain the model output. To ease the computational costs, surrogate models can be used to approximate the forward model. In this work, we present two different regression techniques, Gaussian Process Regression and Lipschitz Regression. After reformulating the Inverse Problem to account for the surrogate model, we develope an adaptive training strategy to train the surrogate model. The proposed training strategy aims at optimizing not only the training points’ positions but also their evaluation accuracies. Moreover, interleaved sampling of the posterior distribution of the unknown parameters is performed while the surrogate model is trained, providing a solution for the Inverse Problem. The quality of the surrogating techniques as well as the effectiveness of the adaptive training strategy are tested through different numerical experiments.

Such examples arise, for example in models of opinion dynamics, where a small number of leaders (influencers) can steer the behaviour of a large population of followers. In this context, we study a partial mean-field limit where the number of followers tends to infinity, while the number of leaders stays constant. The partial mean-field limit dynamics is then given by a McKean-Vlasov stochastic differential equation (SDE) for the followers, coupled to a controlled Itô-SDE governing the dynamics of the lead agents. For a given cost functional that the lead agents seek to minimise, we show that the unique optimal control of the finite agent system convergences to the optimal control of the limiting system. This establishes that the low-dimensional control of the partial (mean-field) system provides an effective approximation for controlling the high-dimensional finite agent system. In addition, we propose a stochastic gradient descent algorithm that can efficiently approximate the mean-field control. Our theoretical results are illustrated on opinion dynamics model with lead agents, where the control objective is to drive the followers to reach consensus in finite time.
