物理信息神经网络(PINNs)为从数据中学习动力系统控制方程提供了强大框架。生物信息神经网络(BINNs)是PINNs的一种变体,通过可训练的神经子网络学习构成项,同时保留已知微分算子结构(如反应-扩散),并通过软残差惩罚实现约束。现有研究局限于一维时空反应-扩散系统,且聚焦于前向预测,将控制偏微分方程作为正则化项而非明确识别目标。本文将BINNs扩展至二维时空(2D+t)系统,构建了一个融合数据预处理、基于BINN的方程学习与符号回归后处理的框架,实现封闭形式方程发现。我们通过时间序列显微镜数据验证了该框架在真实世界中的适用性,成功从肺腺癌细胞群体动态中恢复出2D+t反应-扩散模型。该方法可推广至其他时空系统,为数据驱动的快速解析建模提供可解释的实用工具。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) provide a powerful framework for learning governing equations of dynamical systems from data. Biologically-informed neural networks (BINNs) are a variant of PINNs that preserve the known differential operator structure (e.g., reaction-diffusion) while learning constitutive terms via trainable neural subnetworks, enforced through soft residual penalties. Existing BINN studies are limited to $1\mathrm{D}{+}t$ reaction-diffusion systems and focus on forward prediction, using the governing partial differential equation as a regulariser rather than an explicit identification target. Here, we extend BINNs to $2\mathrm{D}{+}t$ systems within a PINN framework that combines data preprocessing, BINN-based equation learning, and symbolic regression post-processing for closed-form equation discovery. We demonstrate the framework's real-world applicability by learning the governing equations of lung cancer cell population dynamics from time-lapse microscopy data, recovering $2\mathrm{D}{+}t$ reaction-diffusion models from experimental observations. The proposed framework is readily applicable to other spatio-temporal systems, providing a practical and interpretable tool for fast analytic equation discovery from data.
