Learning functional components of PDEs from data using neural networks

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

The paper presents a method to recover unknown functional terms in partial differential equations (PDEs) by embedding neural networks into standard parameter estimation workflows. By training on data, the approach learns interaction kernels and external potentials in nonlocal aggregation‑diffusion equations, achieving high accuracy. The study systematically investigates how reconstruction accuracy depends on solution diversity, sampling density, and measurement noise.

PDE-PFN: Prior-Data Fitted Neural PDE Solver

PDE-PFN is a prior‑data fitted neural solver that uses in‑context learning to approximate the posterior predictive mean of partial differential equation (PDE) solutions. It builds on a Transformer‑based PFN architecture with self‑ and cross‑attention, and is pre‑trained on noisy approximate solutions generated by physics‑informed neural networks. Experiments on various two‑dimensional PDEs show that PDE‑PFN generalizes across heterogeneous equations, remains robust to noisy priors, and can perform zero‑gradient‑update inference while achieving competitive or better predictive accuracy compared to baselines.

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.
