物理信息机器学习(PIML)在现代交通流建模中至关重要,因其结合了物理模型与数据驱动的优势。传统PIML通过线性标量化构建混合损失函数,平衡数据与物理损失,但仅能捕捉帕累托前沿的凸区域,且对权重调节敏感,计算成本高。本文提出范式革新:将训练过程重构为多目标优化问题,独立处理数据损失与物理损失。采用多梯度下降算法(MGDA),包括传统多梯度下降(TMGD)与双锥梯度下降(DCGD),在宏观与微观交通流模型上进行评估。宏观模型中性能相当,但在微观模型中显著优于标量化方法,验证了多目标优化在复杂场景下的优势。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Physics-informed machine learning (PIML) is crucial in modern traffic flow modeling because it combines the benefits of both physics-based and data-driven approaches. In conventional PIML, physical information is typically incorporated by constructing a hybrid loss function that combines data-driven loss and physics loss through linear scalarization. The goal is to find a trade-off between these two objectives to improve the accuracy of model predictions. However, from a mathematical perspective, linear scalarization is limited to identifying only the convex region of the Pareto front, as it treats data-driven and physics losses as separate objectives. Given that most PIML loss functions are non-convex, linear scalarization restricts the achievable trade-off solutions. Moreover, tuning the weighting coefficients for the two loss components can be both time-consuming and computationally challenging. To address these limitations, this paper introduces a paradigm shift in PIML by reformulating the training process as a multi-objective optimization problem, treating data-driven loss and physics loss independently. We apply several multi-gradient descent algorithms (MGDAs), including traditional multi-gradient descent (TMGD) and dual cone gradient descent (DCGD), to explore the Pareto front in this multi-objective setting. These methods are evaluated on both macroscopic and microscopic traffic flow models. In the macroscopic case, MGDAs achieved comparable performance to traditional linear scalarization methods. Notably, in the microscopic case, MGDAs significantly outperformed their scalarization-based counterparts, demonstrating the advantages of a multi-objective optimization approach in complex PIML scenarios.
