机器学习在非线性系统识别中日益重要,尤其适用于具有空间分布输出的动力系统。然而,在湍流状态下,传统识别与预测方法因高维、强非线性和滚动误差累积而可靠性显著下降。基于扩散模型的方法近期展现出更强鲁棒性并支持概率推断,但多数实现仍沿用图像生成中的目标参数化方式,如噪声或速度预测。本文重新审视这一设计选择,采用一个简单自包含的补丁式Transformer,直接作用于物理场,并以湍流模拟为典型测试场景。结果表明,预测干净状态在滚动稳定性与长时序误差方面均优于速度和噪声基目标,且随着每个补丁维度增加,优势愈发明显。研究揭示目标参数化是扩散模型用于湍流条件下空间输出非线性系统识别的关键设计因素。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Machine learning is becoming increasingly important for nonlinear system identification, including dynamical systems with spatially distributed outputs. However, classical identification and forecasting approaches become markedly less reliable in turbulent-flow regimes, where the dynamics are high-dimensional, strongly nonlinear, and highly sensitive to compounding rollout errors. Diffusion-based models have recently shown improved robustness in this setting and offer probabilistic inference capabilities, but many current implementations inherit target parameterizations from image generation, most commonly noise or velocity prediction. In this work, we revisit this design choice in the context of nonlinear spatiotemporal system identification. We consider a simple, self-contained patch-based transformer that operates directly on physical fields and use turbulent flow simulation as a representative testbed. Our results show that clean-state prediction consistently improves rollout stability and reduces long-horizon error relative to velocity- and noise-based objectives, with the advantage becoming more pronounced as the per-token dimensionality increases. These findings identify target parameterization as a key modeling choice in diffusion-based identification of nonlinear systems with spatial outputs in turbulent regimes.
