物理信息神经网络(PINNs)通过将物理方程、边界条件和初始条件融入损失函数,成为求解偏微分方程的新范式。尽管取得成功,传统PINNs仍因多目标优化难题导致精度低、收敛慢。本文提出新型双平衡PINN(DB-PINN),通过引入外平衡与内平衡机制动态调节损失权重,以缓解两类不平衡:外平衡解决微分方程残差损失与条件拟合损失间的梯度差异;内平衡则根据各条件拟合难度差异,按历史损失记录分配权重。此外,设计稳健的权重更新策略,防止因损失方差过大引发的数值溢出与突变。大量实验表明,相较于主流基于梯度的加权方法,DB-PINN在收敛速度与预测精度上均有显著提升。代码与补充材料见https://github.com/chenhong-zhou/DualBalanced-PINNs。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) have emerged as a new learning paradigm for solving partial differential equations (PDEs) by enforcing the constraints of physical equations, boundary conditions (BCs), and initial conditions (ICs) into the loss function. Despite their successes, vanilla PINNs still suffer from poor accuracy and slow convergence due to the intractable multi-objective optimization issue. In this paper, we propose a novel Dual-Balanced PINN (DB-PINN), which dynamically adjusts loss weights by integrating inter-balancing and intra-balancing to alleviate two imbalance issues in PINNs. Inter-balancing aims to mitigate the gradient imbalance between PDE residual loss and condition-fitting losses by determining an aggregated weight that offsets their gradient distribution discrepancies. Intra-balancing acts on condition-fitting losses to tackle the imbalance in fitting difficulty across diverse conditions. By evaluating the fitting difficulty based on the loss records, intra-balancing can allocate the aggregated weight proportionally to each condition loss according to its fitting difficulty level. We further introduce a robust weight update strategy to prevent abrupt spikes and arithmetic overflow in instantaneous weight values caused by large loss variances, enabling smooth weight updating and stable training. Extensive experiments demonstrate that DB-PINN achieves significantly superior performance than those popular gradient-based weighting methods in terms of convergence speed and prediction accuracy.
