Di-BiLPS: Denoising induced Bidirectional Latent-PDE-Solver under Sparse Observations

- 用变分自编码器和潜在扩散模块压缩数据,在低维空间高效求解。

- 适合处理稀疏观测的科学计算与跨尺度预测任务。
偏微分方程(PDE)是建模复杂自然与物理现象的基础。但在真实应用中,观测数据往往极度稀疏,严重限制了经典数值求解器和现有神经方法的应用。尽管神经方法在中等稀疏条件下表现良好,其在高分辨率下的推理效率受限,且在极稀疏情形下精度显著下降。本文提出Di-BiLPS,一种统一的神经框架,可在极稀疏观测下有效处理前向与逆向PDE问题。该框架结合变分自编码器将高维输入压缩至紧凑潜在空间,利用潜在扩散模块建模不确定性,并通过对比学习对齐表示。整个流程在潜在空间内运行,实现高效推理的同时保持灵活的输入输出映射。此外,我们引入基于方差保持扩散过程的PDE引导去噪算法,进一步提升推理效率。在多个PDE基准测试中,实验表明Di-BiLPS在极稀疏输入(低至3%)下始终达到当前最优(SOTA)性能,同时显著降低计算开销。更重要的是,该模型支持零样本超分辨率,可对连续时空域进行预测。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Partial differential equations (PDEs) are fundamental for modeling complex natural and physical phenomena. In many real-world applications, however, observational data are extremely sparse, which severely limits the applicability of both classical numerical solvers and existing neural approaches. While neural methods have shown promising results under moderately sparse observations, their inference efficiency at high resolutions is limited, and their accuracy degrades substantially in the extremely sparse regime. In this work, we propose the Di-BiLPS, a unified neural framework that effectively handle both forward and inverse PDE problems under extremely sparse observations. Di-BiLPS combines a variational autoencoder to compress high-dimensional inputs into a compact latent space, a latent diffusion module to model uncertainty, and contrastive learning to align representations. Operating entirely in this latent space, the framework achieves efficient inference while retaining flexible input-output mapping. In addition, we introduce a PDE-informed denoising algorithm based on a variance-preserving diffusion process, which further improves inference efficiency. Extensive experiments on multiple PDE benchmarks demonstrate that Di-BiLPS consistently achieves SOTA performance under extremely sparse inputs (as low as 3%), while substantially reducing computational cost. Moreover, Di-BiLPS enables zero-shot super-resolution, as it allows predictions over continuous spatial-temporal domains.
