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.
