Talaria Scientific

Science at the speed of thought.

Talaria Scientific accelerates the creation of physics-based digital twin surrogate models and optimizes over them to solve complex design problems.

Talaria, the research harness, builds and validates surrogate models from your ideas, simulations, and process data. TauOpt, the optimizer, searches over these models and your real-world evaluations to optimally design and configure complex systems.

What we help you do

Build models, optimize, solve design problems

  1. 1Build physics-based surrogate modelsTurn your ideas, simulations, and process data into validated digital twins, with a research loop that runs the validation work and a record that backs every result with its provenance.Talaria Harness
  2. 2Globally optimize complex systemsFind the best configurations when every evaluation is expensive and the optima are non-local: hyperparameter optimization for AI training, backtests of algorithmic trading policies, or physical experiments. Ask for the next configurations to try, evaluate them, report the results, repeat.TauOpt Optimizer
  3. 3Solve physics-based optimal design problemsSearch over Talaria-validated surrogate models and your real results for the next design to test: a material, a component, or an advanced manufacturing process.Talaria Harness and TauOpt Optimizer Together

How it works

Accelerated modeling, optimization, and design: your ideas or data become validated digital twins in the Talaria Harness, the TauOpt Optimizer searches over the twins, your other evaluators, and the results that feed back, and the best result improves run by run, all of it kept in the record ACCELERATED MODELING, OPTIMIZATION, AND DESIGN THE RECORD every candidate, run, result, and decision in here is kept with its provenance 1 Your ideas or data a hypothesis, a model to try, simulations, process data 2 Talaria Harness builds validated digital twins from your ideas and data 3 Digital twins surrogates, reduced-order models, tuned solvers 6 Results output metrics of process to optimize 5 Candidates the next configurations to evaluate 4 TauOpt Optimizer picks the next candidates to test Your other evaluators simulations, backtests, physics foundation models 7 Best so far objective iterations ideas, data builds and validates predictions queries proposes to test results, fed back into the search queries results the objective, run by run create or update models = a product (what we build) = an artifact of the loop = yours: ideas, data, evaluators, results, the twins = the record = the output 1 = a step in the loop = a return path: create or update models
Figure 1.The loop. Your ideas or data go in; the Talaria Harness turns them into validated digital twins of any physics-based system; the TauOpt Optimizer trades off exploration and exploitation to globally optimize given simulation and real-world data; getting better globally optimal designs in orders of magnitude less time.

What we offer

Open core with hosted and enterprise options

Built on an open core, the Talaria harness and TauOpt optimizer are Apache 2.0 and free for anyone. Hosted and enterprise offerings allow for more flexibility, portability, and custom services.
