让机器学习的偏微分方程识别摆脱坐标和维度依赖,实现跨空间通用预测。

Towards Coordinate- and Dimension-Agnostic Machine Learning for Partial Differential Equations

  • 用外微分形式表达标量场演化,天然具备坐标与维度无关性
  • 在三维、二维及不同曲率空间间实现准确迁移预测
  • 适用于生物化学反应、神经脉冲等多场景物理系统建模

现有的数据驱动偏微分方程(PDE)识别方法通常依赖特定空间维度和坐标系,导致模型无法泛化到其他空间。本文提出一种基于外微分形式的机器学习框架,将标量场演化表示为坐标与维度无关的形式,实现真正的“空间解放”式PDE学习。在FitzHugh-Nagumo、Barkley反应-扩散模型以及基于原位细菌趋化观测的Patlak-Keller-Segel模型上进行大量数值实验,结果表明:该方法可在不同维度、坐标系、边界条件和曲率空间间无缝迁移,且在新空间中仍能保持高精度预测能力。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

The machine learning methods for data-driven identification of partial differential equations (PDEs) are typically defined for a given number of spatial dimensions and a choice of coordinates the data have been collected in. This dependence prevents the learned evolution equation from generalizing to other spaces. In this work, we reformulate the problem in terms of coordinate- and dimension-independent representations, paving the way toward what we call ``spatially liberated" PDE learning. To this end, we employ a machine learning approach to predict the evolution of scalar field systems expressed in the formalism of exterior calculus, which is coordinate-free and immediately generalizes to arbitrary dimensions by construction. We demonstrate the performance of this approach in the FitzHugh-Nagumo and Barkley reaction-diffusion models, as well as the Patlak-Keller-Segel model informed by in-situ chemotactic bacteria observations. We provide extensive numerical experiments that demonstrate that our approach allows for seamless transitions across various spatial contexts. We show that the field dynamics learned in one space can be used to make accurate predictions in other spaces with different dimensions, coordinate systems, boundary conditions, and curvatures.
