用联合概率建模混沌系统演化,提升长期预测准确性。

Generative forecasting with joint probability models

  • 学习多步状态联合分布,通过边缘化生成预测
  • 在洛伦兹-63与库拉莫托-希瓦辛斯基系统上表现更优
  • 无需真值即可评估预测可靠性,适合不确定性分析

混沌动力系统对初值高度敏感且存在未解析的多尺度过程,导致确定性预测本质受限。生成模型通过学习可能演化路径的分布提供替代方案;然而现有方法多聚焦于单步条件预测,忽视底层动态结构。本文将预测重构为完全生成问题,学习短时窗内滞后状态的联合概率分布,并通过边缘化获得预测。该视角使模型能捕捉非线性时间依赖、表征多步轨迹片段,并生成与学习分布一致的下一步预测。我们提出一种通用、模型无关的联合生成预测训练与推理框架,可利用三种互补的不确定性量化指标(集合方差、短时自相关、累积Wasserstein漂移)评估预测鲁棒性与可靠性,无需真实标签。在洛伦兹-63系统与库拉莫托-希瓦辛斯基方程上的实验表明,联合生成模型在短期预测精度、吸引子几何保持及长期统计行为准确性方面均显著优于传统条件单步模型。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Chaotic dynamical systems exhibit strong sensitivity to initial conditions and often contain unresolved multiscale processes, making deterministic forecasting fundamentally limited. Generative models offer an appealing alternative by learning distributions over plausible system evolutions; yet, most existing approaches focus on next-step conditional prediction rather than the structure of the underlying dynamics. In this work, we reframe forecasting as a fully generative problem by learning the joint probability distribution of lagged system states over short temporal windows and obtaining forecasts through marginalization. This new perspective allows the model to capture nonlinear temporal dependencies, represent multistep trajectory segments, and produce next-step predictions consistent with the learned joint distribution. We also introduce a general, model-agnostic training and inference framework for joint generative forecasting and show how it enables assessment of forecast robustness and reliability using three complementary uncertainty quantification metrics (ensemble variance, short-horizon autocorrelation, and cumulative Wasserstein drift), without access to ground truth. We evaluate the performance of the proposed method on two canonical chaotic dynamical systems, the Lorenz-63 system and the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation, and show that joint generative models yield improved short-term predictive skill, preserve attractor geometry, and achieve substantially more accurate long-range statistical behaviour than conventional conditional next-step models.
