The models are based on function-, kernel- and grid-based representations of the reactant and product state distributions. While all three methods predict final state distributions from explicit quasi-classical trajectory simulations with R$^2$ > 0.998, the grid-based approach performs best. Although a function-based approach is found to be more than two times better in computational performance, the kernel- and grid-based approaches are preferred in terms of prediction accuracy, practicability and generality. The function-based approach also suffers from lacking a general set of model functions. Applications of the grid-based approach to nonequilibrium, multi-temperature initial state distributions are presented, a situation common to energy distributions in hypersonic flows. The role of such models in Direct Simulation Monte Carlo and computational fluid dynamics simulations is also discussed.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/2005.14463v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/2005.14463v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"machine-learning-for-observables-reactant-to","repo_url":"https://github.com/MMunibas/DTD","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"tf","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
