  text: 'We show how to learn discrete field theories from observational data of fields
    on a space-time lattice. For this, we train a neural network model of a discrete
    Lagrangian density such that the discrete Euler--Lagrange equations are consistent
    with the given training data. We, thus, obtain a structure-preserving machine
    learning architecture. Lagrangian densities are not uniquely defined by the solutions
    of a field theory. We introduce a technique to derive regularisers for the training
    process which optimise numerical regularity of the discrete field theory. Minimisation
    of the regularisers guarantees that close to the training data the discrete field
    theory behaves robust and efficient when used in numerical simulations. Further,
    we show how to identify structurally simple solutions of the underlying continuous
    field theory such as travelling waves. This is possible even when travelling waves
    are not present in the training data. This is compared to data-driven model order
    reduction based approaches, which struggle to identify suitable latent spaces
    containing structurally simple solutions when these are not present in the training
    data. Ideas are demonstrated on examples based on the wave equation and the Schrödinger
    equation. '

  text: "Recently, Hamiltonian neural networks (HNN) have been introduced to incorporate
    prior physical knowledge when\r\nlearning the dynamical equations of Hamiltonian
    systems. Hereby, the symplectic system structure is preserved despite\r\nthe data-driven
    modeling approach. However, preserving symmetries requires additional attention.
    In this research, we\r\nenhance the HNN with a Lie algebra framework to detect
    and embed symmetries in the neural network. This approach\r\nallows to simultaneously
    learn the symmetry group action and the total energy of the system. As illustrating
    examples,\r\na pendulum on a cart and a two-body problem from astrodynamics are
    considered."

    Incorporating physical system knowledge into data-driven
    system identification has been shown to be beneficial. The
    approach presented in this article combines learning of an
    energy-conserving model from data with detecting a Lie
    group representation of the unknown system symmetry.
    The proposed approach can improve the learned model
    and reveal underlying symmetry simultaneously.
