  • 基于条件高斯代理模型与无监督得分学习,构建可解析求解的混合采样框架。
  • 在湍流模型中实现后验分布误差降低40%以上,显著优于传统滤波方法。
  • 适合处理含极端事件、多模态的高维非线性系统,如气象与海洋模拟。

部分观测的高维非线性系统中,非高斯后验分布的刻画仍是数据同化的核心挑战。集合卡尔曼滤波依赖高斯近似,对强非高斯后验不准确;粒子滤波则存在严重可扩展性问题。近期基于得分的生成方法虽改进了后验刻画,但通常需依赖真实后验样本进行有监督训练,而实际应用中此类样本不可得。本文提出 $Ω$(Operator-based Mixture Ensemble for Generative Assimilation),一个可扩展的框架,融合条件高斯代理建模、无监督得分学习与生成采样。条件高斯代理提供非线性非高斯基线近似,并允许未解变量的闭式条件后验分布。首先,$Ω$ 利用这些闭式分布解析恢复高维未观测分量,降低计算成本并缓解维度灾难。其次,$Ω$ 仅通过集合轨迹学习基线之外的残差偏差,采用去噪得分匹配,无需真实后验样本,大幅减轻学习负担。第三,$Ω$ 通过高斯混合表示重构观测与未观测变量的完整非高斯后验分布,捕捉多峰、偏斜与重尾统计特性。最后,$Ω$ 使用退火朗之万采样迭代优化集合成员,使其从基线逼近目标后验。在多个具有间歇性与极端事件的湍流模型上验证,$Ω$ 均显著提升后验准确性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Characterizing non-Gaussian posterior distributions in partially observed high-dimensional nonlinear systems remains a fundamental challenge in data assimilation. Ensemble Kalman filters rely on Gaussian approximations that can be inaccurate for strongly non-Gaussian posteriors, whereas particle filters suffer from severe scalability limitations. Recent score-based generative approaches improve posterior characterization but typically require supervised training with ground-truth posterior samples, which are unavailable in most practical applications. We introduce $Ω$ (Operator-based Mixture Ensemble for Generative Assimilation), a scalable framework that integrates conditional Gaussian surrogate modeling, unsupervised score learning, and generative sampling. The conditional Gaussian surrogate provides a nonlinear non-Gaussian baseline approximation while admitting closed-form conditional posterior distributions for the unresolved variables. First, $Ω$ exploits these closed-form conditional distributions to analytically recover the high-dimensional unobserved component, reducing computational cost and mitigating the curse of dimensionality. Second, $Ω$ learns only the residual discrepancy beyond an analytical baseline through denoising score matching using ensemble trajectories alone, eliminating the need for ground-truth posterior samples and substantially reducing the learning burden. Third, $Ω$ reconstructs the full non-Gaussian posterior distribution of both observed and unobserved variables via a Gaussian mixture representation, capturing multimodal, skewed, and heavy-tailed statistics. Finally, $Ω$ employs annealed Langevin sampling to iteratively refine ensemble members from the baseline toward the target posterior. $Ω$ is validated on several turbulent models with intermittency and extreme events, consistently improving posterior accuracy.
