Discovering Generalizable Governing Equations for Graph Dynamical Systems with Interpretable Neural Networks

arXiv:2508. 18173v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The discovery of symbolic governing equations is a central goal in science; yet, it remains challenging particularly for graph dynamical systems, where the network topology further shapes the system behavior.

Learning Interaction Kernels from Collective Steady States

The paper introduces a learning method for identifying interaction kernels in particle systems using only single-snapshot observations of collective steady states, rather than trajectory data. By regularizing with empirical distributions from varied, unseen initial conditions, the authors address the ill‑posed inverse problem and demonstrate stable, accurate recovery of interaction laws across several models. The recovered laws enable faithful reproduction of both steady‑state patterns and, in many cases, the preceding dynamics.

From Classification to Regression: Using a Fruitfly to Solve Equations

We present a novel approach to regression tasks using classification which is motivated by the mechanism used by fruitflies to sense their environment. Specifically, we formulate a general framework for learning nonlinear input-output relationships by replacing complex global surrogate models with a finite library of representative local patterns.

Simultaneous inference of environmental and interaction forces in collective dynamics

The paper presents a variational learning framework that simultaneously infers non‑parametric interaction kernels and environmental or intra‑agent forces in collective dynamics. It extends existing methods to handle both interaction and environmental components, validating the approach on benchmark models such as synchronization, alignment, and attraction‑repulsion systems. A model‑selection procedure is also introduced to identify the best explanatory framework from trajectory data, enabling direct recovery of mechanistic interaction mechanisms.

Teacher Knows It Best: Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking and Tipping Points in Networked Langevin Dynamics AI Sycophancy

We formulate a statistical physics framework to model a networked stochastic dynamical system exhibiting bistability, driven by additive noise and social conformity. We apply this model to understand and mitigate AI-induced delusional spiraling-a phenomenon where algorithmic sycophancy from Large Language Models continuously reinforces inaccurate beliefs within a socially interacting society.
