  • 适合处理非线性测量函数的复杂交互场景

Schrödinger桥问题通过最小能量随机过程连接初态与终态分布。其均值场扩展描述了依赖集体分布的动力学与代价的相互作用群体。当交互为非局部时,直接计算随种群规模呈二次增长,使基于前向-后向随机微分方程(FBSDE)的求解器难以处理大规模情形。本文引入状态与时间依赖的神经代理模型,基于采样轨迹上的经验交互值进行训练,并嵌入四阶段交替优化框架,依次更新前向与后向势能及代理模型,同时保持前向-后向一致性与指定端点边际分布。我们推导了类似Grönwall的稳定性界,量化了代理误差在小增益条件下对生成轨迹的影响。在人群导航与高维意见动力学基准测试中,代理模型以更低训练成本复现了精确评估的轨迹。尤其在交互为测度的非线性泛函(如归一化有界信任漂移)时,随机批采样易产生偏差与不稳定,而学习代理仍保持准确性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

The Schrödinger Bridge Problem connects an initial distribution to a terminal one along a minimum-energy stochastic process. Its mean-field extension, the Mean-Field Schrödinger Bridge, governs interacting populations whose dynamics and costs depend on the collective distribution. When these interactions are nonlocal, their direct evaluation scales quadratically with the population size, making large ensembles intractable within FBSDE-based solvers. We replace these terms with neural surrogates in state and time, trained on empirical interaction values along sampled trajectories and embedded in a four-stage alternating scheme that updates the forward and backward potentials and the surrogates in turn, while preserving forward--backward consistency and the prescribed endpoint marginals. We derive Grönwall-type stability bounds quantifying how surrogate errors propagate to the generated trajectories under a small-gain condition. On crowd-navigation and high-dimensional opinion-dynamics benchmarks, the surrogates reproduce the trajectories obtained with exact evaluation at reduced training cost. The advantage is most significant when the interaction is a nonlinear functional of the measure, such as the normalized bounded-confidence drift, for which random-batch subsampling is biased and unstable whereas the learned surrogate remains accurate.
