用误差网络修正PINN,提升解精度且不增加训练成本
Physics-Informed Error Field Learning: A Post-Training Optimization Framework for Physics-Informed Neural Networks

- 训练后引入误差网络,专注学习近似解与真解的差距
- 在相同计算量下,解的精度显著高于原PINN方法
- 无需修改原有网络,可通用集成到现有PINN模型中
物理信息神经网络(PINNs)已成为求解偏微分方程的重要数值方法。然而,在优化后期,持续更新参数带来的精度提升逐渐减弱,同时计算开销不断增加。为此,本文提出一种物理信息误差场学习(PIEFL)框架。不同于传统方法持续用单一网络逼近解场,PIEFL在主网络达到满意精度后,引入辅助误差网络,将学习目标从解场转向误差场。通过在物理约束下推导误差控制方程,误差网络学习当前近似解与精确解之间的偏差,并将学习到的误差修正与主网络预测融合,从而提升解的准确性。该框架避免了对整个解空间的持续优化,将计算资源集中于修正已有预测误差。此外,PIEFL无需修改主网络结构,兼容现有PINN模型,可作为通用的后训练优化策略。在典型偏微分方程上的数值实验表明,相同计算预算下,PIEFL实现了更高的解精度,验证了其提升PINN性能的有效性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) have emerged as an important class of numerical methods for solving partial differential equations (PDEs). However, during the late-stage optimization process, further parameter updates often yield diminishing accuracy improvements while increasing computational costs. To address this issue, this paper proposes a Physics-Informed Error Field Learning (PIEFL) framework for PINNs. Unlike conventional approaches that continuously approximate the solution field using a single network, PIEFL introduces an auxiliary error network after the primary network achieves satisfactory accuracy and shifts the learning objective from the solution field to the error field. By deriving error control equations under physical constraints, the error network learns the discrepancy between the current approximation and the exact solution, and the learned error correction is combined with the primary prediction to improve solution accuracy. The proposed framework avoids continuous optimization of the entire solution space and focuses computational resources on correcting existing prediction errors. Moreover, PIEFL requires no modification to the primary network architecture, making it compatible with existing PINN models and applicable as a general post-training optimization strategy. Numerical experiments on representative PDEs demonstrate that PIEFL achieves higher solution accuracy under the same computational budget, validating its effectiveness in improving the performance of PINNs.
