用几何自编码器构建先验,实现复杂结构下的可靠不确定性量化。

Geometric Autoencoder Priors for Bayesian Inversion: Learn First Observe Later

  • 通过学习多几何体数据生成几何感知先验,无需知道物理方程。
  • 在复杂几何下预测精度媲美监督学习,且不确定性校准良好。
  • 适合需要高可靠性推断的工程场景,如飞机翼型、汽车共振分析。

不确定性量化(UQ)对工程推理至关重要。从少量噪声观测中恢复物理系统的全域信息通常是一个高度病态问题。共享多个不同但相关的物理系统的信息可缓解此病态性。然而,工程系统常具有复杂变几何,使标准多系统贝叶斯UQ难以应用。本文提出几何自编码器贝叶斯反演框架(GABI),通过学习具有几何感知能力的物理响应生成模型,作为几何条件化的强先验用于贝叶斯反演。遵循‘先学习后观测’范式,GABI从包含多种几何的大规模数据集中提取信息,无需已知控制方程、边界条件或观测过程,构建丰富的潜在先验。推理时,该先验与特定观测过程的似然无缝结合,生成适应几何的后验分布。所提框架架构无关,创新性采用近似贝叶斯计算(ABC)采样,高效利用现代GPU硬件。测试包括:矩形域稳态传热;机翼周围雷诺平均纳维-斯托克斯(RANS)流场;三维车体上的赫姆霍兹共振与声源定位;地形上空的RANS气流。结果表明:在监督学习适用的有限场景下,预测精度与之相当;在复杂几何挑战问题上,不确定性量化表现良好且稳健。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) is paramount for inference in engineering. A common inference task is to recover full-field information of physical systems from a small number of noisy observations, a usually highly ill-posed problem. Sharing information from multiple distinct yet related physical systems can alleviate this ill-posedness. Critically, engineering systems often have complicated variable geometries prohibiting the use of standard multi-system Bayesian UQ. In this work, we introduce Geometric Autoencoders for Bayesian Inversion (GABI), a framework for learning geometry-aware generative models of physical responses that serve as highly informative geometry-conditioned priors for Bayesian inversion. Following a ''learn first, observe later'' paradigm, GABI distills information from large datasets of systems with varying geometries, without requiring knowledge of governing PDEs, boundary conditions, or observation processes, into a rich latent prior. At inference time, this prior is seamlessly combined with the likelihood of a specific observation process, yielding a geometry-adapted posterior distribution. Our proposed framework is architecture-agnostic. A creative use of Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) sampling yields an efficient implementation that utilizes modern GPU hardware. We test our method on: steady-state heat over rectangular domains; Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) flow around airfoils; Helmholtz resonance and source localization on 3D car bodies; RANS airflow over terrain. We find: the predictive accuracy to be comparable to deterministic supervised learning approaches in the restricted setting where supervised learning is applicable; UQ to be well calibrated and robust on challenging problems with complex geometries.
