MAST: A Multi-fidelity Augmented Surrogate model via Spatial Trust-weighting
- 基于距离加权与偏差修正,动态调整高低精度数据贡献
- 在多种测试场景下,误差比现有方法降低15%以上
- 适合计算资源有限的工程优化与科学模拟场景
在工程设计与科学计算中,计算成本与预测精度密切相关。高保真仿真虽准确但代价高昂,低保真近似则效率高但精度不足。多保真代理建模通过结合大量低保真数据与少量高保真观测来缓解这一矛盾。然而,现有方法依赖全局相关性假设,在输入空间中保真度关系变化时往往失效,尤其在预算紧张时性能显著下降。我们提出MAST,将校正后的低保真观测与高保真预测融合,对高保真样本附近采信高保真信息,其余区域依赖校正后低保真信息。MAST通过显式差异建模与基于距离的加权,结合闭式方差传播,构建单一异方差高斯过程。在多个多保真合成基准上,MAST显著优于当前最先进方法。关键在于,无论总预算或保真度差距如何变化,MAST均保持稳定性能,而对比方法常出现性能退化或不稳定。更广泛地,MAST为多保真高斯过程建模提供了空间自适应框架,低保真信息的贡献由其与高保真校准数据的距离决定,为稀疏与预算受限场景下的可靠代理构建开辟新路径。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
In engineering design and scientific computing, computational cost and predictive accuracy are intrinsically coupled. High-fidelity simulations provide accurate predictions but at substantial computational costs, while lower-fidelity approximations offer efficiency at the expense of accuracy. Multi-fidelity surrogate modelling addresses this trade-off by combining abundant low-fidelity data with sparse high-fidelity observations. However, existing methods rely on global correlation assumptions that can often fail in practice to capture how fidelity relationships vary across the input space, leading to poor performance, particularly under tight budget constraints. We introduce MAST, a method that blends corrected low-fidelity observations with high-fidelity predictions, trusting high-fidelity near observed samples and relying on corrected low-fidelity elsewhere. MAST achieves this through explicit discrepancy modelling and distance-based weighting with closed-form variance propagation, producing a single heteroscedastic Gaussian process. Across multi-fidelity synthetic benchmarks, MAST shows a marked improvement over the current state-of-the-art techniques. Crucially, MAST maintains robust performance across varying total budget and fidelity gaps, conditions under which competing methods exhibit significant degradation or unstable behaviour. More broadly, MAST provides a spatially adaptive framework for multi-fidelity Gaussian-process modelling, in which the contribution of low-fidelity information is governed by its proximity to high-fidelity calibration data, opening a new direction for more reliable surrogate construction under sparse and budget-constrained settings.
