提出新方法输入DSA,能同时比较系统内生与外部输入驱动的动力学。

InputDSA: Demixing then Comparing Recurrent and Externally Driven Dynamics

  • 基于子空间识别改进DMDc,分离并对比输入与内生动力学
  • 在噪声数据中仍可准确比较部分可观测系统的动态相似性
  • 适用于神经网络性能分析与动物脑神经数据中的决策机制研究

在控制问题与基础科学建模中,比较观测数据与动态模拟至关重要。例如,对比两个神经系统有助于理解大脑与深度神经网络中涌现计算的性质。最近,Ostrow等(2023)提出了动态相似性分析(DSA),通过系统内生动力学而非几何或拓扑结构来度量两系统间的相似性。然而,传统DSA未考虑输入对动力学的影响,导致不同驱动下的相似系统被误判为不同。由于真实系统通常非自治,必须考虑输入驱动效应。为此,本文提出一种新度量方法——输入DSA(iDSA),可同时比较系统内在(递归)动力学与外部输入驱动的动力学。iDSA扩展了DSA框架,利用基于子空间识别的动态模态分解带控制(DMDc)变体,估计并比较输入与内生动态算子。我们证明,iDSA能在噪声数据下成功比较部分可观测的输入驱动系统。当真实输入未知时,使用替代输入仍能保持相似性估计的稳定性。我们将iDSA应用于深度强化学习训练的循环神经网络(RNNs),发现高性能网络间动态高度相似,而低性能网络则更多样化。最后,将其应用于大鼠执行认知任务时的神经数据,成功识别出从输入驱动的证据积累到内在驱动的决策转变过程。结果表明,iDSA是一种鲁棒高效的动态系统比较方法。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

In control problems and basic scientific modeling, it is important to compare observations with dynamical simulations. For example, comparing two neural systems can shed light on the nature of emergent computations in the brain and deep neural networks. Recently, Ostrow et al. (2023) introduced Dynamical Similarity Analysis (DSA), a method to measure the similarity of two systems based on their recurrent dynamics rather than geometry or topology. However, DSA does not consider how inputs affect the dynamics, meaning that two similar systems, if driven differently, may be classified as different. Because real-world dynamical systems are rarely autonomous, it is important to account for the effects of input drive. To this end, we introduce a novel metric for comparing both intrinsic (recurrent) and input-driven dynamics, called InputDSA (iDSA). InputDSA extends the DSA framework by estimating and comparing both input and intrinsic dynamic operators using a variant of Dynamic Mode Decomposition with control (DMDc) based on subspace identification. We demonstrate that InputDSA can successfully compare partially observed, input-driven systems from noisy data. We show that when the true inputs are unknown, surrogate inputs can be substituted without a major deterioration in similarity estimates. We apply InputDSA on Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) trained with Deep Reinforcement Learning, identifying that high-performing networks are dynamically similar to one another, while low-performing networks are more diverse. Lastly, we apply InputDSA to neural data recorded from rats performing a cognitive task, demonstrating that it identifies a transition from input-driven evidence accumulation to intrinsically-driven decision-making. Our work demonstrates that InputDSA is a robust and efficient method for comparing intrinsic dynamics and the effect of external input on dynamical systems.
