让神经网络学会物理的几何本质,提升长期预测稳定性。
GeoHNNs: Geometric Hamiltonian Neural Networks
- 用黎曼几何和辛几何约束网络结构,显式建模物理系统的内在对称性。
- 在高维可变形物体上,能量误差降低60%以上,长期预测更稳定。
- 适合需要精确物理建模的场景,如机器人控制与复杂系统仿真。
物理基本定律本质上具有几何特性,通过对称性和守恒律决定系统演化。尽管现代机器学习能从数据中建模复杂动态,但常见方法常忽略这一底层几何结构。例如,物理信息神经网络可能违背基本物理原理,导致长时预测不稳定,尤其在高维混沌系统中。本文提出几何哈密顿神经网络(GeoHNN),通过显式编码物理定律固有的几何先验来学习动力学。该方法强制实现两个核心结构:一是以对称正定矩阵空间参数化惯性矩阵,体现惯性的黎曼几何;二是使用约束自编码器,在低维隐空间中保持相空间体积,确保辛几何性质。实验涵盖耦合振子到高维可变形物体,结果表明GeoHNN显著优于现有模型,在长期稳定性、精度和能量守恒方面均有大幅提升,证实嵌入物理几何不仅是理论优势,更是构建鲁棒通用物理模型的实际必要。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The fundamental laws of physics are intrinsically geometric, dictating the evolution of systems through principles of symmetry and conservation. While modern machine learning offers powerful tools for modeling complex dynamics from data, common methods often ignore this underlying geometric fabric. Physics-informed neural networks, for instance, can violate fundamental physical principles, leading to predictions that are unstable over long periods, particularly for high-dimensional and chaotic systems. Here, we introduce \textit{Geometric Hamiltonian Neural Networks (GeoHNN)}, a framework that learns dynamics by explicitly encoding the geometric priors inherent to physical laws. Our approach enforces two fundamental structures: the Riemannian geometry of inertia, by parameterizing inertia matrices in their natural mathematical space of symmetric positive-definite matrices, and the symplectic geometry of phase space, using a constrained autoencoder to ensure the preservation of phase space volume in a reduced latent space. We demonstrate through experiments on systems ranging from coupled oscillators to high-dimensional deformable objects that GeoHNN significantly outperforms existing models. It achieves superior long-term stability, accuracy, and energy conservation, confirming that embedding the geometry of physics is not just a theoretical appeal but a practical necessity for creating robust and generalizable models of the physical world.
