用量纲分析简化符号回归,提升物理方程发现的效率与精度。

Enhancing Symbolic Regression and Universal Physics-Informed Neural Networks with Dimensional Analysis

  • 通过量纲分析降维,缩小符号回归搜索空间。
  • 非量纲化后,方程预测误差显著降低,噪声下仍表现稳定。
  • 适合数据有限的物理系统建模,尤其对复杂方程自动发现有帮助。

在工程与应用数学中,构建准确的数学模型以预测和理解真实现象至关重要。符号回归是一种基于机器学习的建模工具,但计算成本高且易过拟合。本文提出一种结合量纲分析(Buckingham Π 定理与 Ipsen 方法)的符号回归增强方法。通过将数据非量纲化,减少输入变量数量,简化搜索空间,并确保推导方程具有物理意义。实验表明,非量纲化显著降低了符号表达式的训练与测试误差。作为主要贡献,我们采用 Ipsen 方法指导非量纲化,并将其融入通用物理信息神经网络(Universal PINN)与符号回归的联合流程,用于恢复部分已知微分方程中的未知项。无论在有噪或无噪条件下,非量纲化均提升了符号回归对未知项的恢复能力。结果表明,该方法可显著降低计算成本并提高准确性,为数据稀缺场景下的控制方程自动化发现提供可靠框架。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

In engineering and applied mathematics, developing accurate mathematical models to predict and understand real-world phenomena is of utmost importance. Symbolic regression is a useful machine learning-based tool to fit models but it can be computationally expensive. We present a new method for enhancing symbolic regression for differential equations via dimensional analysis, specifically the Buckingham $Π$ theorem and Ipsen's method. Since symbolic regression often suffers from high computational costs and overfitting, nondimensionalizing datasets reduces the number of input variables, simplifies the search space, and ensures that derived equations are physically meaningful. As a first step, we combine dimensional analysis with the PySR symbolic regression algorithm to show that dimensional analysis improves the accuracy of recovering algebraic equations. The results demonstrate that transforming data into a dimensionless form significantly improves the training and test error of the symbolic expressions found. Then, as our main contribution, we perform nondimensionalization guided by Ipsen's method. We then incorporate the nondimensionalized equation into a pipeline combining Universal Physics-Informed Neural Networks and symbolic regression to recover the unknown term when a differential equation is only partially known. We find that symbolic regression is able to better recover the unknown term after nondimensionalizing the data, under both noisy and noiseless conditions. These findings suggest that integrating dimensional analysis with symbolic regression can significantly lower computational costs and increase accuracy, providing a robust framework for automated discovery of governing equations in complex systems when data is limited.
