神经算子可发现无限维函数数据中的任意分类结构。

Neural Operators Can Discover Functional Clusters

  • 用神经算子实现对非凸、不连通类别的通用聚类
  • 在多种合成微分方程轨迹上成功恢复隐藏动力学结构
  • 适合处理高维函数数据聚类,尤其对传统方法失效场景

算子学习正重塑科学计算,通过泛化推理应对无限问题族。尽管神经算子(NOs)在回归任务中已获较好理解,其在分类及无监督情形——聚类方面仍知之甚少。我们证明,在温和的核采样假设下,基于样本的神经算子可在无穷维再生核希尔伯特空间中学习任意有限类集合,即使这些类别既非凸也非连通。我们的通用聚类定理表明,任何 K 个闭类均可在闭集上的上库拉托夫斯基拓扑下被神经算子参数化类以任意精度逼近,该拓扑可解释为禁止误报错误。在此基础上,我们构建了面向函数数据的 NO 聚类流水线,并应用于未标注的常微分方程(ODE)轨迹族。离散轨迹通过固定预训练编码器提升为连续特征映射,并由轻量可训练头映射为软分配。在多种合成 ODE 基准测试中,所提实用 SNO 在经典方法失效的区域仍能恢复潜在动力学结构,结果与我们的通用聚类理论一致。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Operator learning is reshaping scientific computing by amortizing inference across infinite families of problems. While neural operators (NOs) are increasingly well understood for regression, far less is known for classification and its unsupervised analogue: clustering. We prove that sample-based neural operators can learn any finite collection of classes in an infinite-dimensional reproducing kernel Hilbert space, even when the classes are neither convex nor connected, under mild kernel sampling assumptions. Our universal clustering theorem shows that any $K$ closed classes can be approximated to arbitrary precision by NO-parameterized classes in the upper Kuratowski topology on closed sets, a notion that can be interpreted as disallowing false-positive misclassifications. Building on this, we develop an NO-powered clustering pipeline for functional data and apply it to unlabeled families of ordinary differential equation (ODE) trajectories. Discretized trajectories are lifted by a fixed pre-trained encoder into a continuous feature map and mapped to soft assignments by a lightweight trainable head. Experiments on diverse synthetic ODE benchmarks show that the resulting practical SNO recovers latent dynamical structure in regimes where classical methods fail, providing evidence consistent with our universal clustering theory.
