多项式混沌展开(PCE)是物理模拟和不确定性量化中广泛使用的代理建模技术。通过正交基多项式的线性组合,可对输入参数分布进行建模,从而高效计算均值、方差、协方差及Sobol敏感性指数等关键统计量,有助于理解系统行为并识别关键参数及其交互作用。然而,由于基函数数量随参数维度呈指数增长,传统PCE在高维问题中存在可扩展性瓶颈。本文提出深度多项式混沌展开(DeepPCE),将PCE与可处理的概率电路思想结合,构建一种可高效扩展至高维输入空间的深层泛化模型。DeepPCE在预测性能上可媲美多层感知机(MLPs),同时保留了通过前向传播实现精确统计推断的能力;而传统MLP需依赖昂贵且常不准确的蒙特卡洛积分来估算这些统计量。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Polynomial chaos expansion (PCE) is a classical and widely used surrogate modeling technique in physical simulation and uncertainty quantification. By taking a linear combination of a set of basis polynomials - orthonormal with respect to the distribution of uncertain input parameters - PCE enables tractable inference of key statistical quantities such as (conditional) means, variances, covariances, and Sobol sensitivity indices, which are essential for understanding the modeled system and identifying influential parameters and their interactions. The applicability of PCE to high-dimensional problems is limited by poor scalability, as the number of basis functions grows exponentially with the number of parameters. In this paper, we address this challenge by combining PCE with ideas from tractable probabilistic circuits, resulting in deep polynomial chaos expansion (DeepPCE) - a deep generalization of PCE that scales effectively to high-dimensional input spaces. DeepPCE achieves predictive performance comparable to that of multilayer perceptrons (MLPs), while retaining PCE's ability to compute exact statistical inferences via simple forward passes. In contrast, such computations in MLPs require costly and often inaccurate approximations, such as Monte Carlo integration.
