Score the Algebra, Not the Span: Dimension Reduction for Transfer Operator Models of Dynamical Systems

Read the original on Hugging Face Trending Papers →

The paper addresses the limitations of spectral dimension reduction for dynamical systems composed of weakly interacting components, where standard rank‑based methods either require exponentially many modes or omit entire components (a phenomenon termed linear masking). It proposes scoring the σ‑algebra generated by coordinates instead of individual modes, using a χ²‑divergence criterion that guarantees an embedding with twice the intrinsic dimension captures the full operator spectrum. Experiments on benchmark systems show that this algebraic approach recovers masked components and enables accurate prediction from few labels, outperforming traditional rank‑based and VAMP methods.

Score the Algebra, Not the Span: Dimension Reduction for Transfer Operator Models of Dynamical Systems

The paper proposes a new dimension‑reduction strategy for transfer‑operator models of dynamical systems that focuses on scoring the σ‑algebra generated by coordinates rather than the operator’s spectral span. By using a χ²‑divergence criterion between embedded present and future states, the method guarantees that twice the intrinsic system dimension suffices to capture the full operator spectrum, even for systems with weakly interacting components that would otherwise require exponentially many modes. Experiments on benchmark systems show that this algebraic approach recovers masked components missed by rank‑based methods and enables accurate prediction of those components from few labels.
