PSI-SINDy: Post-Selection Inference for Sparse Identification of Nonlinear Dynamics

PSI‑SINDy introduces a statistical inference framework that quantifies the reliability of dynamical terms selected by the Sparse Identification of Nonlinear Dynamics (SINDy) method. It addresses selection bias arising from using the same noisy trajectory for both selection and inference by employing data thinning to create four independent views for selection and inference. The approach accounts for measurement error and shared noise, and its theoretical validity is established under stated conditions with numerical experiments on simulated and experimental data.

Estimating Parameter Fields in Multi-Physics PDEs from Scarce Measurements

The paper introduces Neptune, a method that uses independent coordinate neural networks to infer parameter fields in multi-physics PDEs from sparse measurements. Neptune can accurately estimate parameters with nonlinear, spatiotemporal variations, outperforming existing techniques by reducing estimation errors by up to two orders of magnitude and improving dynamic response predictions by a factor of ten. It also demonstrates strong physical extrapolation, enabling reliable predictions beyond the training data.
