GrainLearning

Unsure about the parameters of your grains in a computer simulation? Use Iterative Bayesian Filtering to learn parameter distributions from limited data. Is your model running slowly? Speed up your simulations with machine-learning surrogates. All these features are integrated within GrainLearning.

What GrainLearning can do for you

GrainLearning is a Bayesian uncertainty quantification toolbox for computer simulations of granular materials. The software is primarily used to infer model parameter distributions from observation or reference data, also known as inverse analyses or data assimilation. Implemented in Python, GrainLearning can be loaded into a Python environment to process your simulation and observation data, or used as an independent tool where simulations are run separately, e.g., from the command line.
