用物理规律指导神经网络,提升地下矿产预测精度。
Korzhinskii-Net: Physics-Informed Neural Network for Sub-Surface Mineral Prospectivity Modelling

- 融合流体流动、热对流和反应速率的物理模型,构建可微分仿真器。
- 在6个矿区测试中,平均精确率-召回率曲线下面积达0.708,显著优于基线。
- 适合地质建模与矿产勘探研究者,尤其关注物理机制驱动的预测方法。
矿产远景预测(MPM)是勘探经济的基础,但现有流程多依赖地表浅层代理数据训练的纯数据驱动分类器,忽视了实际成矿所依赖的地下物理过程——热对流、流体运移及岩性相关的沉淀机制。本文提出Korzhinskii-Net,一种二维径向物理信息神经网络(PINN),将达西流、对流-扩散热传输与软加号饱和反应速率耦合为单一可微分正向模型,并通过地表及遥感代理数据进行弱监督训练。该网络以德米特里·科日欣斯基(1899–1985)的渗透交代理论为物理基础。我们在涵盖三种矿种(砂岩型铜:乌多坎;造山型金:苏霍伊洛格、奥利姆皮亚、别列佐夫斯科耶;卡林型金:沃罗涅茨科耶;矽卡岩多金属:达尔内戈尔斯克)的六个矿区上,采用公平的泄漏控制五折交叉验证协议,设置环形硬负样本并禁用基线代理特征。Korzhinskii-Net实现平均PR-AUC为0.708,远超最强经典基线(支持向量机)的0.235;平均分数排名为0.036,相较基线0.475有显著提升。该优势在所有六处矿区与三类矿床系统中均一致出现,表明即使仅依赖全球开放数据代理,基于物理约束的可微分模拟器也能捕捉纯特征学习者系统性遗漏的定位模式。完整流程与评估工具已开源。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Mineral prospectivity modelling (MPM) underpins exploration economics, yet most operational pipelines reduce to data-driven classifiers trained on shallow surface proxies. Such models are blind to the subsurface physics that actually localises ore: heat advection, fluid flow, and lithology-dependent precipitation. We present Korzhinskii-Net, a 2-D radial physics-informed neural network (PINN) that couples Darcy flow, advective-diffusive heat transport, and a softplus-saturated reaction rate into a single differentiable forward model, weakly supervised by surface and remote-sensing proxies. The network is named after Dmitri S. Korzhinskii (1899-1985), whose theory of infiltration metasomatism provides the physical scaffold. We evaluate Korzhinskii-Net on six ore provinces spanning three commodity classes - Udokan (sandstone-hosted Cu), Sukhoi Log, Olimpiada, and Berezovskoye (orogenic Au), Vorontsovskoye (Carlin-type Au), and Dalnegorsk (skarn polymetallic) - under a fair, leakage-controlled 5-fold cross-validation protocol with hard ring-shaped negatives and baseline proxy features disabled. Korzhinskii-Net attains a mean PR-AUC of 0.708 versus 0.235 for the strongest classical baseline (support vector machine), and a mean fractional rank of 0.036 versus 0.475. The improvement is consistent across all six provinces and three commodity systems, suggesting that physics-informed differentiable simulators, even when constrained only by global open-data proxies, can recover localisation patterns that pure feature-based learners systematically miss. We release the full pipeline and evaluation harness as open source.
