Machine learning has led to incredible achievements in many different fields of science and technology. These varied methods of machine learning all offer powerful new tools to scientists and engineers and open new paths in geomechanics.
The two volumes of Machine Learning in Geomechanics aim to demystify machine learning. They present the main methods and provide examples of its applications in mechanics and geomechanics. Most of the chapters provide a pedagogical introduction to the most important methods of machine learning and uncover the fundamental notions underlying them.
Building from the simplest to the most sophisticated methods of machine learning, the books give several hands-on examples of coding to assist readers in understanding both the methods and their potential and identifying possible pitfalls.

When discussing artificial intelligence (AI), some basic questions immediately emerge: What is AI? How does it work?
Behind this well-known term, a collection of methods of applied mathematics allow the computer to learn and identify patterns in data. This collection of methods is called machine learning (ML) and it is the target of these two volumes, which were authored for the 2023 ALERT Geomaterials Doctoral School.
In combination with the tremendous increase in the computational power, ML has led to incredible achievements in many disciplines of science and technology. These achievements were that striking that some researchers believe that ML could become a turning point for humanity, as the discovery of fire was for our far ancestors!
Until the 1960s, the scientific development has been characterized by the so-called “linear physics” and by modeling represented by analytical equations solved explicitly by the available mathematical tools giving rise to analytical solutions. The field of problems that can be solved in this way is, of course, precious, but very limited.
Then the numerical revolution, based on powerful numerical methods and computers, allowed to solve numerically a large variety of problems, which can be described by a known system of equations. Many limits of this methodology are known due to the abundance of nonlinear processes in nature, chaos and complexity. In any case, numerical analysis, another branch of applied mathematics, has immensely enlarged the class of problems that can be solved today.
However, the numerical solutions of these sets of nonlinear equations can be computationally very intensive or even impossible. Moreover, many problems in engineering are difficult to describe by a set of equations. ML tools provide promising methods for addressing both those problems.
Another aspect of ML algorithms is their ability to solve very complex problems in a “creative” manner. One characteristic example of creativity was shown when the machine beat the world champion of Go, which was invented a long time ago in China. Differently from chess, in which the computer can predict the game evolution several moves in advance, in Go the number of possible moves is extremely large (higher than the number of atoms in the known universe). Therefore, it is necessary to follow creative strategies. Indeed, the machine, “AlphaGo”, has shown that it is able to carry out novel strategies that surprised even the best human players in the world.
All these methods of ML give new powerful tools to scientists and engineers and open new perspectives in geomechanics. The target of these two volumes is to demystify ML to present its main methods and to show some examples of applications in mechanics and geomechanics. Most of the chapters of the volume were edited to provide a pedagogical introduction to the most important methods of ML and to uncover the fundamental notions behind them.
Volume I contains the following five chapters:
The first chapter, “Overview of machine learning in geomechanics”, is the introductory chapter of this volume. In this chapter, we explain how the machine can learn, show a classification of the main methods in ML, outline some applications of ML in geomechanics and highlight its limitations.
The second chapter, “Introduction to regression methods”, focuses on regression, which is one of the fundamental pillars of supervised ML. In this chapter, we introduce the essential concepts in regression analysis and methods by providing hands-on, practical examples.
The target of the third chapter, “Unsupervised learning: Basic concepts and application to particle dynamics”, is twofold. The first part of this chapter is devoted to the description of the basic concepts of the most popular techniques of unsupervised learning. The second part illustrates an application of unsupervised learning to the discovery of patterns in particles dynamics.
The fourth chapter, “Classification techniques in machine learning”, aims to describe what the problem of classification in ML is and illustrates some of the methods used for solving it, without resorting to artificial neural networks (ANNs). Hands-on examples are given and active learning is discussed.
The fifth chapter, “Artificial neural networks: Learning the optimum statistical model from data”, provides a comprehensive introduction to ANNs. Several hands-on examples are given to help the reader grasp the main ideas.
Volume II is organized as follows:
The first chapter, “Data-driven modeling in geomechanics”, presents the theoretical framework of the so-called data-driven computational mechanics. Furthermore, it shows some of its applications for the solution of problems involving Cauchy and Cosserat continua with elastic and inelastic materials, which, naturally, represent common descriptions of geomaterials.
The second chapter, “Bayesian inference in geomechanics”, is intended to provide a concise exploration of Bayesian inference and demonstrates how recent advancements in ML can assist in efficient Bayesian inference within the realm of geomechanics applications.
The third chapter, “Physics-informed and thermodynamics-based neural networks”, shows how to inject prior knowledge into deep learning algorithms. Using various examples, we present physics-informed neural networks for the discovery of partial differential equations and thermodynamics-based ANNs for the discovery of constitutive models of complex, inelastic materials.
The fourth chapter, “Introduction to reinforcement learning with applications in geomechanics”, presents the basic concepts of reinforcement learning, which enables the development of software agents that are capable of making optimal decisions in dynamic and uncertain environments. The chapter closes with two applications of reinforcement learning in geomechanics.
The fifth chapter, “Artificial neural networks: basic architectures and training strategies”, presents more architectures of ANNs and discusses training strategies.
We deeply thank all the authors of the volumes for their comprehensive contributions and their effort to present complex notions in a pedagogical manner. We also deeply thank ALERT Geomaterials for the organization of this doctoral school and all students for their active participation. We hope that the chapters provide a valuable introduction to machine learning in geomechanics.
