Methodologies for combining the accuracy of data-driven models with extrapolability of physics-based models are described and tested, for the task of building transport models of tokamak fusion reactors that extrapolate well to new operational regimes. Information from multiple physics simulations (the ASTRA transport code with gyro-Bohm and TGLF estimates for turbulent diffusion) as well as multiple distinct experiments (DIII-D and AUG tokamaks) are considered. Applications of the methodology to the task of commissioning and controlling a new reactor such as ITER are discussed.

Such a model must solve a logistic regression problem, i.e. learning scalar weights $α_predictor$ corresponding to each predictor that sum to one, [equation] PyTorch [ref] is employed to solve the regression problem for the optimal $n_predictors-1$ learnable parameters $α_i$, with the same loss as for the machine learning models (mean squared error on the normalized profiles).
