对比了物理信息神经网络在噪声逆问题中的表现,发现传统方法更准但PINN可扩展性更好。
Examining the robustness of Physics-Informed Neural Networks to noise for Inverse Problems
- 用有限元结合优化器作为传统基准,对比PINNs在含噪数据下的表现
- 2D泰勒-格林涡流噪声σ=1时,传统方法RMSE为0.0013,最佳PINN为0.01
- 虽然精度较低,但PINN在计算复杂度升高时更具扩展优势
求解偏微分方程(PDE)是科学与工程中动态系统建模的基础。物理信息神经网络(PINNs)是一种新兴的机器学习方法,其性质和局限性仍不明确。尽管普遍认为PINNs在求解PDE方面不如有限元法等传统方法高效准确,但常被认为在逆问题和处理噪声或不完整数据方面具有潜力。本文将PINNs在逆问题上的表现与有限元法结合数值优化器的传统方法进行比较。实验涵盖一维伯格斯方程的粘度识别,以及二维/三维泰勒-格林涡流问题,所有情况均施加高斯噪声于训练与验证数据。结果表明,尽管PINNs可能减少人工投入与专业知识需求,但在性能上仍逊于传统方法:例如,在二维泰勒-格林涡流、噪声标准差σ=1时,基线模型平均预测RMSE为0.0013,而最优PINN版本为0.01。然而,当问题计算复杂度增加时,PINNs的扩展性优于基线方法。研究还识别出训练失败的关键因素,指出需解决这些问题才能提升PINN在噪声逆问题中的竞争力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Approximating solutions to partial differential equations (PDEs) is fundamental for the modeling of dynamical systems in science and engineering. Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) are a recent machine learning-based approach, for which many properties and limitations remain unknown. PINNs are widely accepted as less computationally efficient and accurate than traditional methods for solving PDEs, such as the finite element method. However, PINNs are commonly claimed to show promise in solving inverse problems and handling noisy or incomplete data. We compare the performance of PINNs in solving inverse problems with that of a traditional approach using the finite element method combined with a numerical optimizer. The models are tested on viscosity identification in 1D Burgers' equation and in 2D/3D Taylor-Green Vortex, in all cases with additive Gaussian noise applied to training and validation data. We find that while PINNs may require less human effort and specialized knowledge, they are outperformed by the traditional approach. For example, for 2D Taylor-Green Vortex with $σ$=1 noise, the baseline has a mean prediction RMSE of 0.0013 compared to 0.01 for the best PINN variation. However, PINNs scale better than the baseline with the computational complexity of the problem. We identify failures during training to be addressed if the PINN performance on noisy inverse problems is to become more competitive.
