  • 用函数空间先验替代权重空间先验,更符合物理直觉
  • 两种方法均准确估计后验分布,其中fParVI-PINN更精确
  • 适合做物理约束反演的科研人员,尤其关注不确定性量化

物理信息神经网络(PINNs)为求解偏微分方程约束的反问题提供了一种无网格框架,但其扩展至贝叶斯反演仍面临根本性挑战:先验通常定义在神经网络权重空间,而物理上合理的先验假设更自然地应表达在函数空间。本研究提出统一框架fpBPINN,将函数先验融入基于PINN的贝叶斯反演。提出两种互补方法:第一种是函数先验引导的贝叶斯PINN(FPI-BPINN),通过学习权重先验以匹配给定函数先验,随后在权重空间进行贝叶斯推断;第二种是基于粒子的变分推断(fParVI-PINN),直接在函数空间进行贝叶斯估计。研究还表明,随机傅里叶特征(RFF)在表示高斯函数先验及提升后验近似方面起关键作用。实验应用于一维地震波走时层析成像与二维达西流渗透率反演,结果表明两种方法均能准确估计后验分布,并揭示FPI-BPINN具灵活性、fParVI-PINN具更高精度的对比优势。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) provide a mesh-free framework for solving PDE-constrained inverse problems, but their extension to Bayesian inversion still faces a fundamental difficulty: prior distributions are typically defined in the weight space of neural networks, whereas physically meaningful prior assumptions are more naturally expressed in function space. In this study, we introduce a unified framework, termed functional-prior-based approaches to Bayesian PDE-constrained inversion using physics-informed neural networks (fpBPINN), to incorporate functional priors into Bayesian PINN-based inversion. We consider two complementary approaches. The first is a functional-prior-informed Bayesian PINN (FPI-BPINN), in which a neural network weight prior is learned to be consistent with a prescribed functional prior, and Bayesian inference is subsequently performed in weight space. The second is function-space particle-based variational inference for PINNs (fParVI-PINN), which performs Bayesian estimation using ParVI directly in function space. We also show that random Fourier features (RFF) play an important role in representing Gaussian functional priors with neural networks and in improving posterior approximation. We applied the proposed approaches to one-dimensional seismic traveltime tomography and two-dimensional Darcy-flow permeability inversion. These numerical experiments showed that both approaches accurately estimated posterior distributions, highlighting the significance of introducing physically interpretable functional priors into Bayesian PINN-based inverse problems. We also identified the contrasting advantages of FPI-BPINN and fParVI-PINN, namely flexibility and accuracy, respectively.
