用扩散模型从不完整数据中学习物理系统动态,无需完整标注。
Incomplete Data, Complete Dynamics: A Diffusion Approach
- 设计分割策略将数据分为可观测上下文与缺失查询部分,用条件扩散模型重建缺失内容。
- 在合成与真实物理系统上表现优于基线,尤其在观测稀疏不规则时仍保持高精度。
- 理论证明方法在弱正则条件下可收敛到真实生成过程,适合科研与工程中的不完整数据场景。
从数据中学习物理动态是机器学习与科学建模的核心挑战。现实观测数据通常不完整且采样不规则,对现有数据驱动方法构成严峻挑战。本文提出一种基于扩散的理论性框架,用于从不完整训练样本中学习物理系统。通过精心设计的分割策略,将每条样本划分为可观测上下文与未观测查询部分,并训练条件扩散模型,根据已有上下文重建缺失查询部分。该范式可在任意观测模式下实现精准插补,无需完整数据监督。我们提供理论分析,证明在温和正则条件下,该扩散训练范式能渐近收敛至真实完整生成过程。实验表明,该方法在合成与真实世界物理动态基准(包括流体流动与天气系统)上显著优于现有基线,在观测有限且不规则的场景下表现尤为突出。结果验证了该理论严谨方法在部分观测动态学习与插补中的有效性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Learning physical dynamics from data is a fundamental challenge in machine learning and scientific modeling. Real-world observational data are inherently incomplete and irregularly sampled, posing significant challenges for existing data-driven approaches. In this work, we propose a principled diffusion-based framework for learning physical systems from incomplete training samples. To this end, our method strategically partitions each such sample into observed context and unobserved query components through a carefully designed splitting strategy, then trains a conditional diffusion model to reconstruct the missing query portions given available contexts. This formulation enables accurate imputation across arbitrary observation patterns without requiring complete data supervision. Specifically, we provide theoretical analysis demonstrating that our diffusion training paradigm on incomplete data achieves asymptotic convergence to the true complete generative process under mild regularity conditions. Empirically, we show that our method significantly outperforms existing baselines on synthetic and real-world physical dynamics benchmarks, including fluid flows and weather systems, with particularly strong performance in limited and irregular observation regimes. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of our theoretically principled approach for learning and imputing partially observed dynamics.
