Physics-consistent machine learning: output projection onto physical manifolds
- 通过投影到物理定律定义的流形上,强制输出满足物理约束。
- 在弹簧质量系统和低温等离子体中,误差显著降低,预测更准确。
- 适用于小数据或简单模型,特别适合资源受限场景。
数据驱动的机器学习模型常需大量数据,且预测结果可能违背已知物理规律。现有方法通过惩罚偏离物理定律或设计满足特定不变性的架构来融入物理先验,但惩罚法无法保证对未见输入的约束遵守,而不变性方法缺乏灵活性与通用性。本文提出一种新型物理一致性机器学习方法,通过将模型输出直接投影到由物理定律定义的流形上,确保预测始终符合选定物理约束,从而提升可靠性与可解释性。该方法在弹簧-质量系统和低温等离子体系统上验证,相比纯数据驱动模型,显著减少物理规律偏差,提高物理量预测精度,并在使用简单模型或有限数据时优于现有方法。该投影技术具备通用性,可独立使用或与物理信息神经网络结合,为复杂物理系统的快速、可靠代理模型提供强大、通用且可扩展的解决方案,尤其适用于资源受限场景。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Data-driven machine learning models often require extensive datasets, which can be costly or inaccessible, and their predictions may fail to comply with established physical laws. Current approaches for incorporating physical priors mitigate these issues by penalizing deviations from known physical laws, as in physics-informed neural networks, or by designing architectures that automatically satisfy specific invariants. However, penalization approaches do not guarantee compliance with physical constraints for unseen inputs, and invariant-based methods lack flexibility and generality. We propose a novel physics-consistent machine learning method that directly enforces compliance with physical principles by projecting model outputs onto the manifold defined by these laws. This procedure ensures that predictions inherently adhere to the chosen physical constraints, improving reliability and interpretability. Our method is demonstrated on two systems: a spring-mass system and a low-temperature reactive plasma. Compared to purely data-driven models, our approach significantly reduces errors in physical law compliance, enhances predictive accuracy of physical quantities, and outperforms alternatives when working with simpler models or limited datasets. The proposed projection-based technique is versatile and can function independently or in conjunction with existing physics-informed neural networks, offering a powerful, general, and scalable solution for developing fast and reliable surrogate models of complex physical systems, particularly in resource-constrained scenarios.
